Dr Robyn says, some time ago after researching how essential Co Q10 is to sustain life and how beneficial it is for disease prevention and recovery, I am personally on daily doses of the best Co-Enzyme Q10 that I could find. Read the information and research and decide for yourself if you need this essential co-enzyme, nutrient for a healthier life!
The Benefits CoQ10 is believed to provide
- Promotes cardiovascular health
- Provides antioxidant protection for the cardiovascular system
- Helps maintain normal blood pressure
- Helps maintain heart muscle strength
- Enhances traditional support of cardiovascular health
- Promotes healthy cholesterol levels
- Promotes head comfort
- Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels
- Studies have found CoQ10 deficiencies in overweight people
- Supports /Helps maintain brain health
- Vital for ATP production and supports muscle endurance
- Promotes /boosts the immune system
Special Information about why supplement with CoQ10
- Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient that plays a vital role in health maintenance. It contributes to a healthy cardiovascular system, periodontal health, healthy blood sugar levels, and maintenance of cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, sustaining vitamin E levels in cell membranes, energizing the immune system and maintaining proper weight.
- A persons heart beats, on average, one hundred thousand times each day, which adds up to about thirty-six million times per year. CoQ10 is the vital nutrient that initiates the energy at the cellular level that powers the heart, the bodys energy production cycle, and acts as a powerful antioxidant when combined with vitamin E. Within a cell it serves as a carrier of electrons in the electron transport chain, neutralizes free radicals and helps protect the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane.
- As individuals age, the ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10 begins to decline. Sometimes this is due to poor eating habits or stress, but the main challenge for most people is the ability to choose the right foods containing CoQ10 as well as the other nutrients needed to manufacture it in the body. It is a combination of both that provides the body with the best possible amount of CoQ10 for optimal health.
- Absorption and efficacy of nutritional supplements are two important features to examine when selecting a nutritional supplement and products such as Isotonix Coenzyme Q10 may contain both. Supplement in the form of an isotonic fluid, helps the nutrients to be absorbed into your system quicker. Since the antioxidants are in an isotonic solution, it minimizes the chance that important nutrients will be trapped by fats, fibers and tannins, or inactivated by a highly acidic pH level.
