- Coenzyme Q-10 occupies a critical biochemical niche in cellular bioenergetics, allowing mitochondrial mechanisms to generate energy (ATP) (Biochim Biophys Acta 2004;1660:171-99).
- Coenzyme Q-10 is an important antioxidant, acting alone and by assisting in the regeneration of other antioxidants such as ascorbate and vitamin E (J Am Coll Nutr 2001;20:591-8).
- Coenzyme Q-10 is found most abundantly in actively respiring tissues such as the heart and skeletal muscles, whose function can be optimized by maintaining adequate levels of this nutrient (J Neurol 1998; 245:681-5; J Clin Pharmacol 1990;30:596-608).
- Based on extensive clinical research (Ugeskr Laeger 1997;159:7302-8; Clin Investig 1993;71:S116-23), physicians in Japan have long been recommending coenzyme Q-10 for support of the heart and circulatory system.
- Additional CoQ-10 has been shown to promote the health of epithelial tissues such as the gingiva (Res Commun Chem Pathol Pharmacol 1976;14:715-9), and may assist in the regulation of blood pressure (J Hum Hypertens 1999;13:203-8; Curr Ther Res 1990;47:841-5).
- Lipid-soluble delivery systems guarantee the highest bioavailability of oral coenzyme Q-10 supplements (Mol Aspects Med 1994;15:s273-80).
