Indication of Cardi Q 100

Coenzyme Q10, often referred to as CoQ10 or ubiquinol, is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced by the body. It plays a crucial role in preventing cellular damage associated with aging and certain diseases. As we age, the levels of CoQ10 in the body tend to decrease, which can have various implications for health.

Research suggests that lower levels of CoQ10 are associated with conditions like heart disease. Additionally, individuals taking certain medications such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, or tricyclic antidepressants may experience decreased levels of CoQ10 as a side effect.

Apart from being produced by the body, CoQ10 can also be obtained from dietary sources such as meat, fish, and nuts. However, in cases where dietary intake is insufficient or when higher levels are needed, CoQ10 supplements are available to help replenish levels of this important antioxidant.

Pharmacology:

Co-enzyme Q10 is a vital substance found in various organs of the body, particularly in the heart, liver, kidney, and pancreas. It is essential for the proper function of many organs and chemical reactions, aiding in providing energy to cells and possessing antioxidant activity.
