Dr. Ferre's Optimal Health
CO-Q-10
Stabilized & Highly Absorbable Coenzyme Q10

PATIENT BENEFITS

• • Energy Production

• Mitochondria are cellular organelles that serve as sites for most of cellular energy (ATP) production. For this reason, mitochondria are sometimes referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell. CO-Q-10 is a vital component in the mitochondrial ATP-gene-rating process by acting as an electron acceptor/proton donor; hence, its presence in the body is fundamental for the support of cellular life. CO-Q-10 administration is associated with enhanced mitochondrial enzyme activity and energy production.

  Not surprisingly, CO-Q-10 is highly concentrated in muscles as well as organs that require a large energy supply, including the brain and heart. The indispensable role of CO-Q-10 in bioenergetics, which supports diverse life functions, implies that CO-Q-10 may be associated with the maintenance of health on a variety of levels.

• • Antioxidant activity

• It is also highly protective to lipids, including low-density lipoproteins, which may have a significant impact on cardiovascular health. CO-Q-10 is found in all plasma membranes as well as in all intracellular membranes, where it protects them from oxidation. In addition, its role in membrane stabilization helps  to support  cellular  integrity and therefore protects intracellular components.

  Areas of research demonstrating the bioenergetics and antioxidant benefits of CO-Q-10 include:

• • • Cardiovascular health
  • • Brain/neurologic health
  • • Muscle/exercise performance
  • • Immune system health
  • • Breast health
  • • Periodontal health*

Excellent Stability and Bioavailability

Dr Ferre’s Optimal Health CO-Q-10 formula is an all-natural supplement manufactured with extraordinary attention to enhancing bioavailability and maintaining stability. The stability and bioavailability of CO-Q-10 supplements for therapeutic use must be ensured for maximum effectiveness. Due to its molecular instability, low-melting point, light sensitivity, and lipophilic (“lipid-loving”) nature, CO-Q-10 must be manufactured under stringent quality control standards.

Because CO-Q-10 is a fat-soluble nutrient, a lipid-based formula like Dr Ferre’s Optimal Health CO-Q-10 can positively impact bioavailability. *

Added Benefits of Vitamin E

Vitamin E and CO-Q-10 are believed to have an interactive effect wherein CO-Q-10 has a sparing effect on vitamin E, and vitamin E plays a role in determining tissue retention of exogenous CO-Q-10. By combining these two lipid-soluble nutrients, Dr Ferre’s Optimal Health CO-Q-10 offers you excellent two-in-one protection.*
