Brain Function Healthy mitochondrial function is critical to the brain, also a major ATP (energy) producing and consuming organ. Animal studies suggest an important role for Coenzyme Q10 in protecting the brain from free radical attack, and supporting healthy mental function.* Immune System Coenzyme Q10 is an integral part of the cells of the immune system. White blood cells, so vital to healthy immune system activation, require an abundant supply of intracellular Coenzyme Q10. Co-Q-10 Plus helps to naturally support the immune system and may result in providing a wider range of beneficial and protective effects for the body.* Periodontal Health Maintaining health of periodontal tissue (the gums of the mouth) may require increased energy production. Double-blind research has shown that Coenzyme Q10 supports periodontal health by promoting healthier gum tissue.* The Heart and Blood Pressure Tissues that require the most energy (such as the heart) need the largest amounts of Coenzyme Q10 for strength and vigor and maintaining healthy circulation. Coenzyme Q10 and Weight Management Co enzyme Q10 may help to promote weight loss in obese people.* The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research notes that levels of Coenzyme Q10 may be lower in people with a higher body mass index (BMI). What is the Maximum Amount One Can Take of Co-Q-10? no upper limit has been set for Coenzyme Q10 supplementation. Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to protect the body’s stores of vitamin E, the major antioxidant that protects cell membranes and cholesterol from free radical attack, and appears to enhance the effects of many other antioxidants as well. Fats Needed for Absorption Coenzyme Q10 is a fat soluble nutrient, and studies have shown that fats are necessary for Co-Q-10 t o be optimally absorbed from the intestine. For this reason, Co-Q-10 Plus is formulated with lecithin, a fat that also emulsifies (mixes) fatty and water soluble substances together in a stable way. Co-Q-10 Plus is also formulated with the synergistic antioxidants quercetin and lemon bioflavonoids. PhytoZyme ® Base Co-Q-10 Plus is formulated in the proprietary PhytoZyme ® base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural ingredients including special herbs, synergistic phytonutrient cofactors from fruits and vegetables, p lus plant enzymes for bioavailability. When you take Lifeplus products you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micro - nutrients contained in them.
