! Coenzyme Q10 !

d e f i n i t i o n :

Also called UBIQUINONE, it is a substance essential for the functioning of all our cells. It takes part in the process of energy production in cells, improves their oxygenation and PROTECTS THEM from the destructive influence of free radicals. It is mainly found in the mitochondria of cells; without it, we can't create cellular energy, on which the efficient functioning of our organs and systems depends.

In our body there is a constant battle between FREE RADICALS and the ANTIOXIDANTS that neutralise them! Antioxidants include glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc or selenium, but the MOST POTENT of them all is coenzyme Q10.
