 What is it for?
Chemists' Own CoQ10 is formulated to help maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system and improve energy levels, stamina and endurance. It can be of particular benefit to athletes and individuals with an active lifestyle.
The cardiovascular system plays a critical role in providing oxygen and nutrients to the organs throughout the body. Maintenance of a healthy heart and cardiovascular system ensures that supply of oxygen and nutrients is maintained at optimal levels.
The following lifestyle choices can prove helpful in maintaining a healthy heart and cardiovascular system:
- ensure you participate in regular exercise;
- give up smoking;
- practice stress management;
- reduce or eliminate intake of saturated and animal fats;
- eat a balanced and healthy diet including fish, whole grains, fruits and vegetables;
- maintain a healthy weight.
How does it work?
- Coenzyme Q10 is a natural vitamin-like substance that plays a critical role in the conversion of food to energy, and can help improve energy levels and increase stamina and endurance.
- Coenzyme Q10 levels in heart muscle decline with age, and this can affect the heart's ability to pump blood effectively and to maintain adequate circulation. Supplementation can alleviate this decline, helping to maintain healthy circulation.
- Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger that can assist in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, helping to maintain healthy arteries.
- Coenzyme Q10 can help to increase the body's oxygen uptake capacity. This can be of particular benefit to athletes and individuals with an active lifestyle.
