Co-Q10

Co-Q10 (Ubiquinone) is a nutrient that supports the function of mitochondria (the “power factories” within our cells).

Co-Q10 is found in the cells of energy-rich tissues like the heart, and as we age our body’s Co-Q10 levels decrease.

As an antioxidant, Co-Q10 helps promote vitality by supporting mitochondrial health and efficient energy production, the health benefits of which support cardiovascular function.

People can get CoQ10 by eating certain meats and grain proteins, but the amount in these foods is insufficient to significantly increase CoQ10 levels in the body.

Food sources include:

• dark green leafy vegetables
• cruciferous vegetables
• legumes
• whole grains
