Co-enzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is present in all cells and is highly concentrated in the energy-intensive cells of the heart. It also plays a key role in the release of cellular energy, speeding up the metabolic process by helping to convert food into energy. As we age, the natural levels of co-enzyme Q10 in our cells fall, reducing the amount of energy that the cells receive and affecting their functionality.
If you are among the millions of people that are prescribed statins you will be at risk of co-enzyme Q10 deficiency, so a supplemented intake of at least 100mg is widely recommended.
Specially formulated by Healthspan’s nutritionists, each one-a-day capsule provides 100mg of Co-Q10 – a high level of Co-enzyme Q10 is recommended by nutrition experts to optimise the energy production of cells. It is best taken with food to improve absorption as it is fat soluble.
