Thompson's Co-Enzyme Q10 is an antioxidant, acting as a free radical scavenger. Free radicals are highly reactive substances which may occur in the body. Co-Enzyme Q10 is beneficial for oxygen uptake and the functioning of muscles. Co-Enzyme Q10 is important for energy metabolism, especially in the heart. Co-Enzyme Q10 also supports immune function.
Studies show that Co-Enzyme Q10, dissolved in vegetable oil in a soft gelatine capsule as with Thompson’s Co-Q10, is more readily absorbed than Co-Enzyme Q10 in other dosage forms.
Indications for Use:
Cardiovascular diseases such as congestive heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse, coronary bypass and angina may benefit from Co-Q10 supplementation.
Co-Q10 also has therapeutic value in the prevention and treatment of periodontal or gum disease by speeding up healing time and reducing gum pockets.
Immune deficiencies, diabetes and muscular dystrophy may improve with regular use of this important nutrient.
Co-Q10 can act as a ‘performance-enhancing ‘agent in atheletes and may also benefit in weight-loss due to an increase in energy production at cellular level.
