Q-10 200 mg GPH Capsules

Coenzyme Q-10 (= ubiquinone) is an important component for all energy-related processes and is required in each and every one of our approximately 80 trillion cells in the body. In the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, energy is produced in the form of ATP. However, this can only happen adequately if the mitochondria have sufficient amounts of coenzyme Q-10 available. Higher concentrations are needed primarily in high-performance organs such as the heart and brain, as well as in the muscles, because there is an increased need for metabolic energy (ATP) there. Interestingly, the mitochondrial density of muscles in athletes is considerably higher than in inactive individuals. To maintain the performance of these muscles, higher amounts of coenzyme Q-10 are therefore also required. Unfortunately, as we age, the body’s ability to produce coenzyme Q-10 decreases. The body’s own production of ubiquinone also suffers under chronic stress and in people who take lipid-lowering medications. Meeting the requirement through diet is possible, but unfortunately higher concentrations of ubiquinone are found precisely in foods that are rarely consumed nowadays, such as offal (heart, liver, kidney and brain). Therefore, supplementation with coenzyme Q-10 has proven effective in maintaining the body’s own energy-producing processes. Q-10 200 mg GPH capsules contain 100% pure Q-10 produced by fermentation by the company Kaneka, which offers the highest bioavailability worldwide.
