CoQ10 is called ubiquinone because it is found in all cells. Technically, CoQ10 is referred to as a “vitamin-like substance” or a “co-factor” because it is produced naturally by the body. It is an essential nutrient needed by all cells to produce energy.

CoQ10 is an important enzyme that creates 95% of cellular energy used by the body. Organs, particularly the heart, uses a vast amount of CoQ10 to carry out its pumping strength, enhancing the amount of blood that flows through it with every beat. It is also an antioxidant that can neutralise free radicals and promote healthy cell membranes.

CoQ10 concentration reduces as we age. Our eating habits and lifestyle choices may result in nutrition deficiencies. Other factors such as strenuous exercises or consumption of certain medication may also reduce the CoQ10 level in the body.

Mitochondria are the energy producing structures inside cells that enable them to function, repair and maintain themselves. In many ways, mitochondria are like car engines. A cell cannot function without mitochondria and a car cannot function without an engine. As long as cells are alive, they require a means to produce energy. This energy comes in the form of adenine triphospate (ATP). CoQ10 is the catalyst in the production of ATP. Therefore, the mitochondria needs sufficient concentration of CoQ10 to ensure optimal production of energy.

Yes, CoQ10 is found largely in beef and migratory fish such as sardines and mackerel, and to a lesser degree, in broccoli and nuts. We need about 30mg a day, which means that we have to eat huge amounts of those foods to get an equivalent of 30mg of CoQ10. Therefore, to get adequate amounts for the body, one can consider supplementing with CoQ10.

CoQ10 generally does not interfere with most types of medications and is well tolerated. However, you are advised not to consume it while on Warfarin therapy without medical advice. As a general rule, we always advise a first timer to start with a low dosage to check for potential allergic reaction, although that is unlikely to occur with CoQ10. A pregnant woman should seek her physician’s advice before consuming any herbal or supplement products.

Taking CoQ10 regularly may help to improve overall health. It is also known for its antioxidant properties.

Nutrilite CoQ10 is the only formulation available in the market that combines CoQ10, L-Carnitine Fumarate, Taurine and Nutrilite Bioflavonoid Concentrates into one capsule. Every capsule provides 30mg of CoQ10 whereby three capsules a day will provide the body with 90mg of CoQ10. Bioflavonoid Concentrates provide the additional benefits of phytonutrients, helping you towards optimal health. Our Nutrilite CoQ10 formulation is free from artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, therefore reducing the incidence of allergic reactions.

Yes, you can take CoQ10 with other Nutrilite products such as Natural B-Complex, Lecithin-E, Salmon Omega Complex, and Protein Powder. Since CoQ10 is fat soluble, it is best taken together with Salmon Omega Complex and/or Lecithin-E, with meals.

Studies suggest taurine helps maintain cell integrity by regulating intracellular volume and calcium balance.

L-Carnitine is involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism, and in the transportation of fats into the mitochondria. L-Carnitine also provides numerous other benefits to many of the body’s systems. It helps to limit damage caused by oxygen starvation, enhance the immune system, protect against oxidative stress, stimulate the antioxidant activity of certain enzymes and protects membranes.
