The vital way to old age

Coenzyme Q10 belongs to the vitamin E series and has two important functions in the human body:

• It helps to convert nutritious energy into kinetic energy, takes part in the building up of 95% of the body's energy and thus is a very important element in the energy supply to the heart muscle.

• Q10 acts furthermore as a "catcher of free radicals".  Q10, just like vitamin C, vitamin E, the mineral selenium and beta-carotene, can bind free radicals (the aggressive waste products of the metabolism that damage cell membranes) and thus prevent the cells growing old.

Coenzyme Q10 is partly taken in with food and partly produced by the body itself.  The modern treatment and preservation of food reduces its nutritious value and consequently its Q10 content, which can lead to Q10 deficiency.  Besides which the production of coenzyme Q10 in the body decreases after the age of 40.  This explains why especially middle aged people benefit from taking additional Q10.

Often medical science is powerless in the face of functional disorders of the organs, such as the heart, that occur in the course of the ageing process.  However, it is becoming more and more clear that an optimal supply of coenzyme Q10 not only protects the body from decline in performance, but also produces a higher vitality in old age.

To prevent under-supply and to maintain proper energy levels, it is recommended that additional coenzyme Q10 is taken.

Even quite a number of experts recommend a preventive intake of coenzyme Q10 in order to conquer the decline in performance.  Taking coenzyme Q10 is absolutely without risk.  Previous experience shows that a permanent result can only be obtained by a regular intake.
