CoQ10 200 mg

Help support heart function with Swanson Coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is a vitamin-like nutrient and antioxidant that is naturally found in every cell of your body. It plays a major role in energy production for cellular function, so the organs with the highest energy needs (the heart, kidneys and liver) tend to store the largest amounts of CoQ10.

Your heart is a demanding muscle with high energy needs. ATP fuels your heart, but your body requires adequate CoQ10 in order to produce that fuel to meet those needs. There are a few dietary sources of CoQ10, but the amount they supply is minimal. That makes supplementation your best bet for consistent intake.

In addition to supplying your heart with energy, CoQ10 also contributes to healthy blood pressure levels. Healthy blood flow relies on the availability of nitric oxide, which itself is impacted by oxidative stress. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 fights free radicals which protects arterial health, allowing for healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range. Research also indicates that CoQ10 may also help maintain healthy blood glucose levels and support blood glucose metabolism. All of this adds up to a healthy cardiovascular system and a happy heart.

Each capsule of Swanson CoQ10 delivers a potent 200 mg. CoQ10 is best taken with a meal or alongside an oil-based supplement like krill oil or coconut oil because it’s fat soluble, meaning the presence of fat will help your body break CoQ10 down to absorb it more efficiently.
