CoQ Max - 300 mg (CoQ10) is a substance similar to a vitamin. It is found in every cell of the body. Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. CoQ10 is naturally present in small amounts in a wide variety of foods, but levels are particularly high in organ meats such as heart, liver, and kidney, as well as beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts.
Supports heart health and energy production. As an antioxidant, it helps fight cell-damaging free radicals in the body. In addition, statin drugs can reduce Co Q-10 levels in the body. Co Q-10 can replenish what statin drugs can deplete.
There is even evidence to suggest that CoQ10 supplementation may help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines. It is thought to have a neuroprotective effect and improve mitochondrial function in brain cells.
Selenium and CoQ10 play distinct roles in promoting health, they have an intimate connection. In other words, they are better together.
Selenium is a trace mineral and is essential to the proper function of certain enzymes, especially those involved in defense against oxidative stress and the damage it causes to proteins and cellular DNA.
Many older adults have low selenium levels. Observational studies have shown low levels of selenium are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a lipid-soluble antioxidant naturally found in every cell of our body. It is critical to the health of mitochondria, cellular power–houses that supply the energy cells need to survive and function.
As CoQ10 provides energy to the body, it becomes inactive. One of the enzymes that can convert the inactive CoQ10 back to the active form - called ubiquinol - requires selenium.
At the same time, CoQ10 is required for selenium to be properly incorporated into essential body proteins.
