CoQ10 is required to 
convert fats and sugars 
into cellular energy, yet 
the natural production 
of CoQ10 declines with advancing age. When the body has an ample amount of CoQ10, the mitochondria can work most efficiently in cells everywhere, including the most densely populated area, the heart. CoQ10 is also a potent antioxidant, helping protect the proteins, lipids and DNA of mitochondria from oxidation, and supporting mitochondrial function.
When coenzyme Q10 is orally ingested, only a certain percentage is actually absorbed into the bloodstream. Higher doses of CoQ10 provide significantly better effects than typical doses. Since CoQ10 is such an expensive nutrient, an alternative to taking higher doses is to increase the amount of CoQ10 that is absorbed. Life Extension offers the ubiquinol form of CoQ10 in a patented delivery system that maximizes the amount of CoQ10 absorbed.
