Overview
Co-Q10
Coenzyme Q10 was first identified in 1957. At that time it was known as ubiquinone (from the term ubiquitous) because it is found everywhere in nature. Although Co-Q10 is easily obtained in all plant and animal cells, it is not found in optimum levels; therefore supplementation is necessary. It is a catalyst for food metabolism working in conjunction with enzymes, thus the name “coenzyme”. Co-Q10 is essential to energy production and necessary for the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a multifunctional chemical compound necessary for healthy cellular maintenance. Co-Q10 functions in the transfer of energy and oxygen between blood and body cells and also between cell components; in other words it is essential for the body’s cells, tissues, and organs.
Red Yeast Rice
Red yeast rice has a strong history as a medicinal agent. Recent research indicates that ingredients in red yeast rice inhibit the production of cholesterol by stopping a key enzyme in the liver that is responsible for manufacturing cholesterol. Clinical trials also revealed that red yeast rice lowered triglycerides in those found with elevated levels.
By combining Co-Q10 and Red Yeast Rice, one may maintain healthy Co-Q10 levels in the body to promote cardiovascular health. Our Co-Q10 with Red Yeast Rice delivers 60 mgs of Co-Q10 and 600 mgs of Red Yeast Rice in a convenient, single serving softgel.
