Bio Q 100

Metagenics Bio Q 100 provides 100 mg of coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone) in a patented emulsification system (Ensorb) to enhance its bioavailability. Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role as an antioxidant in cellular membranes and plasma lipoproteins, and enhances cellular energy production throughout the body.

Indications

Cardiovascular health: Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to enhance heart and cardiovascular function. Studies using up to 360 mg of CoQ10 daily have shown significant benefits in maintaining optimal cardiovascular and heart health. CoQ10 levels decline with age. Some medications may also lower CoQ10 levels.

Contraindication: Do not take while on warfarin therapy without medical advice. As always, consult your health care provider before taking any supplements.

More on Coenzyme Q10

There are countless of articles on the web on this amazing enzyme, and one simple Google search can potentially reveal all that is needed to know.

CoQ10 is essentially a huge component of mammalian cells for the mass production of ATP – or in layman terms, energy. Without it there would be a missing link and we would not be able to produce energy efficiently enough in order to maintain bodily functions. This counts for all of our organs but even more so for those organs that work the hardest, such as our heart, kidney and liver. Therefore, organs such as the heart also feature the highest concentrations of CoQ10 in order to maintain functions.

Studies have shown that insufficient CoQ10 levels are implicated in cardiovascular health issues. In addition, it also responsible for reducing the number of free radicals that are implicated in oxidative damage to our body as we age. So a good level of CoQ10 can also keep our body safe from oxidative damage.

So when taking CoQ10 it is important to know what to look for in a brand, since different techniques of extraction and compounding can make it easier for the body to absorbe in the Gut. Metagenics CoQ10 is naturally fermented and is suspended in an Ensorb™ base for maximum absorption. Stability is also essential with CoQ10 as it deteriorates when exposed to light. Metagenics Bio Q 100 is protected by an opaque soft gel capsule to ensure it works as intended every time.

Lastly it is also very important to know that your body naturally absorbes something better when it is really needed. Just like when you become very thirsty after you do exercise, your body is also thirsty for CoQ10, and is ready to absorbe it.

It is important to know that after taking Coenzyme Q10, you have to exercise in order to draw the Coenzyme into your heart where it is needed. It doesn’t have to be much, but just enough to break a sweat.
