Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like substance produced by the body. It is utilized by cells and occurs naturally throughout the body, with concentrations typically higher in organs like the heart and liver.
Adults over 40, those with certain health conditions, and people who are using certain medication might benefit CoQ10 supplement due to decreased natural production and conversion efficiency with age. (2)
For those on a vegan diet, plant-based sources of CoQ10 include certain oils, seeds, and nuts. However, due to the lower levels in plant-based sources compared to animal products, vegans might need to pay extra attention to their CoQ10 intake, either through diet or supplements.
Choosing the right CoQ10 supplement involves understanding the differences between synthesized and naturally fermented forms.
Synthesized CoQ10 is produced in bacteria like Escherichia coli and can be manufactured quickly and in large quantities. (3)
However, naturally fermented CoQ10, like the type found in our supplements, includes additional bioactive compounds that are beneficial for your health. These compounds come from the traditional fermentation process, offering a holistic health benefit. (4)
If you’re looking for more than just enzyme activity, our naturally fermented CoQ10 is the perfect choice.
