Doctors Best High Absorption CoQ10 contains pure, vegetarian coenzyme Q10, plus BioPerine in an olive oil base. CoQ10 is a nutrient that supports heart function and promotes energy production in cells.* BioPerine, an herbal extract derived from black pepper fruit, promotes absorption of nutrients in the GI tract.* Preliminary studies have shown that BioPerine increases CoQ10 absorption. Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like nutrient central to energy production at the cellular level, essential for generating metabolic energy in the form of ATP. CoQ10 is also a versatile antioxidant, stabilizing cell membranes (helping to protect them from free radical damage) and contributing to their fluidity. Coenzyme Q10 levels decrease with age, a factor that may actually contribute to the aging process.Since food content of CoQ10 can be very low, many healthcare providers recommend supplementing with Coenzyme Q10.
High Absorption CoQ10 and Best CoQ10 products contain pure, vegetarian source Coenzyme Q10. BioPerine™, a natural extract derived from black pepper, is included in High Absorption CoQ10 as an evidence-based means of increasing nutrient absorption.

Enhances Cardiovascular Health In terms of bioenergetics, CoQ10 supplementation acts to preserve energy turnover in mitochondria—our cellular powerhouses—by keeping ATP synthesis at optimal levels. Maintenance of normal energy utilization and supply is crucial for maintaining the cell’s ideal biochemical state. Based on results from clinical studies, researchers have concluded that some segments of the population can achieve an increase in needed ATP production in addition to other benefits from CoQ10 supplementation. Also in the cardiovascular realm, there has been longstanding interest in the use of Coenzyme Q10 supplementation to work against the oxidative stress that takes a toll on circulating blood lipids. In addition to reacting directly with peroxyl radicals, CoQ10 indirectly helps quench radicals by regenerating the active form of vitamin E. This type of antioxidant activity is key to enhancing the structural integrity of lipids and supporting healthy blood vessels and circulation. Given all of these cardiovascular findings, it may not be surprising to learn that the effect of CoQ10 on blood pressure has been a topic of scientific research since 1975. A metaanalysis of such studies noted Coenzyme Q10 supplementation as one useful and safe tool in the maintenance of a healthy blood pressure, complementing the endothelial support and antioxidant advantages it provides. Helps Replenish Losses From Statins Supports Immune Function Versatile Antioxidant Support Coenzyme Q10 is a unique fat-soluble antioxidant referred to as ubiquinone —or ubiquinol in its reduced form—because it is “ubiquitous” (everywhere present), that is found in almost all living cells. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study where subjects had lower than usual blood concentrations of the antioxidant vitamins A, C, E, and beta-carotene, 28 days of CoQ10 supplementation provided a significant increase in blood levels of these antioxidants, compared to placebo. Vitamin E regeneration upon administration of CoQ10 has been observed in several studies. The Research Keeps Moving Forward Numerous studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between CoQ10 and exercise, physical performance, or energy metabolism. In one such recent study, researchers looked at the effect of CoQ10 supplementation on the autonomic nervous system, which is integral to energy metabolism. They discovered that subjects administered supplemental CoQ10 experienced increased oxidation of fat (enhanced fat metabolism) during low intensity exercise. Although larger studies are needed to confirm this finding, it introduces exciting new prospects for the use of supplemental CoQ10. |
