CoQ10 for heart health and cellular energy

CoQ10 (or coenzyme Q10) is an essential nutrient for healthy mitochondrial function, a process that produces adenosine triphosphate—the compound your cells use for energy.^1-3 Because of this, it makes sense that CoQ10 is concentrated in high-energy organs such as your brain, liver, kidneys and heart.^2-6

CoQ10 also has powerful antioxidant properties, protecting important proteins and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative stress.^7,8 Unfortunately, CoQ10 levels decrease over time.^9,10

Improved Bioavailability: Ubiquinol

The traditional ubiquinone form of CoQ10 has limited bioavailability once ingested.¹¹ That’s why Life Extension offers ubiquinol CoQ10, shown to have far better bioavailability than ubiquinone forms.^12-14 In people taking this form of ubiquinol, high levels of plasma CoQ10 can be achieved in only four weeks.¹⁵

CoQ10 and General Fatigue

If you’ve ever felt like you just didn’t have the energy that you used to, you’re not alone. Good news: CoQ10 has been clinically studied to help relieve occasional general fatigue in healthy adults!^16,17 Over the course of one 8-day study, the effects of physical exertion were reduced for those taking CoQ10 rather than placebo.¹⁶ In another study, subjects feeling general, daily fatigue measured both subjective and objective improvements after taking CoQ10 over the course of the 12-week study.¹⁷
