Suggested Use

One (1) to two (2) tablets each day as a dietary supplement or as otherwise directed by a health care professional.

Nutrition Info

Each tablet contains 30 milligrams of CoQ-10

Description

CoQ-10 from Biotics Research Corporation is unique and offers clinical advantages over other brands.

Consider in cases where increased oxygenation is required - Aerobic Endurance Athletes will benefit and fill an increase in energy and decrease in recovery time after exercise.

Also consider with cardiac stress, immune dysfunction, periodontal disease, high blood pressure, allergies, asthma, M.S., diabetes, ulcers and viral infections.

Emulsification of CoQ-10 more than doubles absorption, such that 30 mg of CoQ-10 in emulsified form from Biotics is equivalent to approximately 80 mg of non-emulsified, dry CoQ-10.

CoQ-10 tends to be one of the more expensive supplements on the market, and the absorption from oral supplementation is known to be inefficient. Therefore, if absorption can be increased by special manufacturing techniques, then a lower dose can be utilized to attain at least the same blood level and at least the same clinical effectiveness. The combination of cost reduction and improved absorption with Biotics CoQ-10 is obviously superior to using a product with inferior absorption and which therefore requires a higher dose and thus more expense. Biotics Corporation has studied, documented, and published the results of research showing that emulsification of CoQ-10 leads to improved absorption and improved cost-effectiveness.

Basic concepts and physiologic function

CoQ-10 is necessary for one of the terminal steps in the electron transport chain in the process of energy (ATP) production). Thus, as a necessary component of mitochondria for the production of energy, CoQ-10 has potential to improve physiologic function in a number of conditions associated with impaired mitochondrial function.

Coenzyme Q10 was discovered and manufactured for the first time by Dr. Karl Folkers of the University of Texas in Austin. All vitamins are enzyme cofactors, and Dr. Folkers later stated that he should have used the name "vitamin Q" rather "coenzyme Q" to avoid misunderstandings about the use of this substance and to expedite its utilization in healthcare.

Folkers worked with an international team of colleagues and found many clinical applications for CoQ-10. They found that patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy - a form of heart failure - were universally deficient in CoQ-10. They conducted clinical trials with these patients and reported positive results.
