Description
Benefits
- CoQ10 concentrations naturally diminish with age and deficiency has been associated with certain health concerns; the body’s ability to synthesize normal amounts of CoQ10 is inhibited by one class of cholesterol-lowering drugs
- CoQ10 is a fat-soluble coenzyme, which is a substance that is necessary to, or supports the action of an enzyme
- CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that is known to scavenge oxygen radicals in the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
- CoQ10 is essential for the production of energy in every cell of the human body; CoQ10 is a component of the electron-transport that is required to manufacture adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
- CoQ10 is known as “ubiquinone,” a substance that is similar in structure to a vitamin and is found mainly in mitochondria throughout the body
- CoQ10 resides in the membranes of the cells’ mitochondria
- Enhances traditional support of cardiovascular health
- Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels
- Helps maintain heart muscle strength
- Helps maintain normal blood pressure
- Promotes the immune system
- Promotes cardiovascular health
- Promotes gum health
- Promotes head comfort
- Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels
- Provides antioxidant protection for the cardiovascular system
- Studies have found CoQ10 deficiencies in overweight people
- Supports brain health
- Vital for ATP production and supports muscle endurance

Heart Health™ Advanced Co-Q10 (Cardiovascular & Immune Support)
Poor cardiovascular health is one of the leading causes of death and illness in the United States, accounting for one out of every two deaths in both men and women. Poor cardiovascular health is becoming a worldwide epidemic. An unhealthy diet of processed, high-calorie, high-fat foods, pollution, smoking and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to poor heart health. Not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, exercising regularly and taking the right supplements can all contribute to promoting cardiovascular health. Clinical studies have shown that supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may be beneficial in promoting cardiovascular health. CoQ10 is a coenzyme, meaning that it is essential to activating enzymes. Enzymes are produced by the body and are necessary for survival and healthy living. CoQ10 is known as a ubiquinone and is found in every cell in the body. Coenzyme Q10 is important for cellular energy production, promoting the strength of the heart muscle and providing antioxidant protection to the cardiovascular system.*
All cellular functions depend upon the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a molecule with three high-energy phosphate bonds, which exist in all of our cells. It is the primary energy source for many metabolic processes. Coenzyme Q10 is essential to the ATP production process, and the heart has a high metabolic demand, which is why normal levels of CoQ10 are associated with good cardiovascular health. As part of the energy production process, CoQ10 exists in the inner mitochondrial membrane as part of the electron transport chain. CoQ10 transports the electrons and protons through the membranes to make the energy production process possible. The lysosomal membranes that separate digestive enzymes from the rest of the cell contain relatively high concentrations of Coenzyme Q10. Recent research suggests that Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in the transport of protons across lysosomal membranes to maintain the optimal pH for cellular recycling. Within a cell, it serves as a carrier of electrons in the electron transport chain, neutralizes free radicals and helps maintain the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane.
Throughout the aging process, the body’s ability to synthesize Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline. Sometimes this is due to stress or infections, but the main challenge is a poor diet. Heart Health Advanced Co-Q10 is a blend of CoQSol-CF™ and vitamin E, designed to promote overall cardiovascular health. CoQSol-CF is a unique, patent-pending formula of CoQ10, food grade d-limonene (which serves as a non-polar, organic solvent) and tocopherol (vitamin E). This combination creates a liquid, crystal-free solution of CoQ10 that provides enhanced bioavailability. By improving dissolution, absorption is enhanced. Heart Health Advanced Co-Q10 helps maintain normal blood pressure, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, provides antioxidant protection for the cardiovascular system, helps maintain heart muscle strength, helps maintain cognitive health and promotes cellular energy production.*
