Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential, vitamin-like compound that is absolutely vital for cardiovascular health, especially as we age. We include it in VivraFlow for several key reasons:
-
It Fuels Your Heart: CoQ10 is a critical component in the production of cellular energy (ATP) within your mitochondria, the "powerhouses of the cell". The heart has one of the highest concentrations of mitochondria and the highest energy demands in the body, and CoQ10 provides the fuel it needs to function efficiently.
-
It Replenishes Declining Levels: Your body's natural production of CoQ10 begins to decrease with age and can also be depleted by certain common medications like statins. Supplementing helps restore and maintain optimal levels.
-
It's a Potent Antioxidant: Beyond energy production, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your heart and vascular tissues from oxidative stress and free radical damage.
