Source Naturals - Coenzyme Q10 400 mg. - 60 Softgels
Ubiquinone CoQ10 Softgel to Support Immunity, Liver Function, & Cognitive Health
Source Naturals offer coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 in the form of ubiquinone. Ubiquinone is a naturally occurring substance in our body and our body does create amounts of this substance. It is primarily important in the production of energy within cellular mitochondria. What happens is that for the mitochondria to convert fats, sugar, or protein into usable energy it needs Coenzyme Q10 to perform this task. And just imagine this, each cell in our body contains a number of mitochondria that needs to make energy to fuel various cellular and bodily processes. That’s how important Coenzyme Q10 is.

Why the Need to Supplement with Ubiquinone?
As mentioned earlier, the amount of Coenzyme Q10 needed by the body is unthinkable because each cell needs it. The caveat is, as humans grow older, the less CoQ10 their body makes. Further, some medications do interfere with the body’s natural Coenzyme Q10 making processes such as medications taken to control cholesterol levels negatively impact CoQ10 production. In order for our body to have enough CoQ10 to drive cellular functions then we might as well get it from our supplements.
May Have Neuroprotective Benefits
CoQ10 is also a known antioxidant and a common reason for the cognitive decline is the brain’s and central nervous system’s exposure to oxidative stress. Further, a correlation has been reported that generally people who suffer from cognitive disorders also have reduced CoQ10 levels in the blood. In fact, a specific study where coQ10 was given to patients with irreversible cognitive disorder showed a slowed down deterioration of cognitive functions in comparison to the control.
May Have Hepatoprotective Benefits
Coenzyme Q10 is a potent antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. In a study conducted on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were some patients were supplemented with CoQ10, the results showed that the supplement was effective in improving the systemic inflammation and biochemical variables in NAFLD. In another study, CoQ10 was evaluated for its positive impact on patients with liver problems. The results were positive in that it can be used as a supplement to reduce the toxin-induced complications of the disease.
May Enhance Immunity
CoQ10 plays a significant role in boosting the immune system and physical performance, as tissues and cells involved with immune function are highly energy-dependent and therefore require an adequate supply of CoQ10 for optimal function. A study even postulated that CoQ10 boosts immunity in 2 ways. One is it reduces the damage caused by free radicals on the complex communication pathways of the cellular network of the immune system. Two, it provides protection to the immune cells from free radical damage.
