The heart has the highest concentration of Coenzyme Q10 of any organ in the human body and is extremely sensitive to changing CoQ10 levels. Heart function can be adversely affected when CoQ10 levels fall below normal. By increasing the pumping strength of the heart, CoQ10 helps enhance the amount of blood that flows through it with every beat. Numerous clinical trials have found that supplemental CoQ10 improves overall cardiac function.

Clinical studies have also shown that CoQ10 is highly effective for protecting LDL cholesterol against oxidation, possibly more than vitamin E. It can also enhance the recycling of vitamin E, creating a truly synergistic effect between these two powerful antioxidants.

There are two sources for CoQ10 – food and the body's own production, which takes place primarily in the liver. However, poor nutrition can lead to low CoQ10 levels. In addition, as we age, the body's ability to naturally synthesize CoQ10 decreases, and CoQ10 levels can drop. An average 20-year-old, for example, has twice the CoQ10 levels of a 70-year-old.

To get just 60 mg of CoQ10 from food, you'd need to consume nearly 4-1/2 pounds of meat, 7-1/2 pounds of nuts, or 13 pounds of spinach or broccoli daily. Or, you could just take two 30 mg capsules of PhysioLogics' CoQ10.

Hundreds of scientific and clinical studies worldwide show that CoQ10 provides:

• A potent, fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cellular membranes
• Protection against potent low-density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation
• Nourishment for the body's natural defense system
• Support for healthy cardiovascular function and blood pressure levels*
