Co-enzyme Q10 is a compound found naturally in the energy-producing centre of the cell. It is essential for the synthesis of ATP, the cell's main energy source and drives many biochemical processes including muscle contraction. Researchers believe that the beneficial effect of CoEQ10 in the prevention of heart disease lies in its ability to improve energy production in cells and inhibit blood clot formation.

Statin drug therapy is a common treatment in lowering cholesterol levels. One of the side-effects of this treatment is the lowering of CoEQ10 levels which may cause a variety of muscle related symptoms such as the muscle pain often associated with Statin treatment.

WHAT DOES CARDIOMAX Q10 DO FOR YOU?

Cardiomax Q10 contains 150mg Co-enzyme Q10 per vegicap and as such replenishes CoEQ10 levels. Statin drugs to treat hypercholesterolaemia can deplete CoEQ10 levels and research has shown that supplementation with 100mg CoEQ10 decreases the severity of associated Statin induced muscle pain by 40%*. Thus, CoEQ10 supplementation may offer an alternative to stopping treatment with these vital drugs.

CoEQ10 also has powerful anticoagulant properties which has important benefits in heart health.

Being a powerful antioxidant, CoEQ10 is also a free radical scavenger and may reduce or even help some of the damage they cause.
