Meridian Naturals CoQ10 200mg 120 K-Caps
CoQ10: Natural Body Detox
Meridian Naturals™ CoQ10 is obtained naturally by fermentation. A
series of crystallization and evaporation steps follows in order to achieve
optimal purification. This results in the production of CoQ10 with a side
chain of 10 isoprenoid units in the trans configuration, the form of CoQ10
that occurs naturally in the body's cells. We do not use Chinese or synthetic
CoQ10 in any of our products.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), or ubiquinone, is a naturally-occurring,
vitamin-like nutrient found in every cell of the body. Found in highest
concentration in cell mitochondria (where energy is produced), its primary
function is to help with the conversion of food and oxygen into energy. CoQ10
is also a powerful antioxidant and may help neutralize damage-causing free
radicals. Although CoQ10 is involved in every bodily process that
requires energy, it's believed to be of fundamental importance in cells with
high metabolic demands, such as cardiac cells. The heart, with greater energy
requirements than other organs, contains twice as much CoQ10 as any other
tissue in the body.
Levels of CoQ10 naturally decline with age, which may result in less
efficient organ function because of reduced energy supply. Statin drugs, taken
for high cholesterol, may also deplete the body of CoQ10.
Statin drugs may lower your body's ability to produce CoQ10. This is
because CoQ10 and cholesterol are both derived from the same substance,
mevalonate. The purpose of statins is to inhibit the creation of cholesterol,
and by extension, it suppresses the creation of CoQ10.
Although our bodies have the ability to make CoQ10, as we ingest it
from foods such as codfish, egg yolk, mackerel, salmon, sardines, wheat germ,
and whole grains, certain factors may deplete it: illness; physical, mental, and
emotional activity; all forms of stress; and aging. To get 30 mg of CoQ10,
you need one pound of sardines, two pounds of beef, or two and one half pounds
of peanuts.
