Country Life Antioxidant CoQ10 100 mg Gluten-Free Vegan Capsules offers a moderate dose of this essential nutrient to support cell level energy production and heart function. The compound CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is present in every single cell of your body. It is necessary for basic cell function and energy production, particularly in those most metabolically active cells in the heart muscles. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that your body produces naturally. Antioxidants fight damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Your cells use CoQ10 for growth and maintenance. Unfortunately, as we age or begin to take statin-type drugs, our CoQ10 levels decline. CoQ10 supplements may improve heart health and blood sugar and help manage high blood pressure in people with diabetes. CoQ10 has been shown to improve symptoms of congestive heart failure. Although findings are mixed, CoQ10 might help reduce blood pressure. Some research also suggests that when combined with other nutrients, CoQ10 might aid recovery in people who've had bypass and heart valve surgeries.
