CoQ10 100 mg by NOW - 180 Capsules

Full Product Description (From the manufacturer)

CoQ10 100 mg with Hawthorn Berry by NOW delivers 100 mg of pharmaceutical-grade Coenzyme Q10 alongside 400 mg of Hawthorn Berry — a clinically informed combination designed to support cellular energy production and cardiovascular function in a single daily vegetarian capsule. Key Benefits of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Cellular Energy Production Support — CoQ10 is a critical component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, supporting the body's ability to produce ATP — the primary energy currency used by every cell, with particularly high demand in the heart, liver, and kidneys. Cardiovascular Function Support — CoQ10 maintains normal function of the cardiovascular system by supporting the energy requirements of cardiac muscle tissue, which has among the highest mitochondrial density of any organ in the body. Antioxidant Defense Support — As a fat-soluble antioxidant, CoQ10 helps neutralize free radicals within cell membranes and mitochondria, supporting protection of cellular structures from oxidative stress. Muscular & Nervous System Function — CoQ10 supports normal energy metabolism in both skeletal muscle and neural tissue, contributing to overall muscular endurance and nervous system function. Hawthorn Berry Synergy — Each capsule includes 400 mg of Hawthorn Berry (Crataegus laevigata and/or monogyna) fruit extract, a botanical traditionally used to support cardiovascular function and vascular tone. Fat-Soluble Absorption Optimization — CoQ10 is a fat-soluble compound; the recommended dosing with a fat-containing meal supports optimal absorption and bioavailability at the cellular level. Why This Formula Matters CoQ10 is naturally synthesized in the body but declines with age, making supplementation increasingly relevant for adults seeking to maintain optimal cellular energy and cardiovascular function. The inclusion of Hawthorn Berry at a clinically meaningful 400 mg dose adds a well-researched botanical dimension to this formula, with Hawthorn's flavonoid content traditionally associated with supporting vascular tone and cardiovascular function. Together, CoQ10 and Hawthorn Berry represent a complementary pairing — one operating at the mitochondrial level, the other at the vascular level — making this a more comprehensive cardiovascular support formula than CoQ10 alone.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble compound found in virtually every cell of the human body, where it plays an essential role in mitochondrial energy production. It is most concentrated in organs with high energy demands — particularly the heart, liver, and kidneys — and also functions as a key antioxidant within cell membranes. Why does CoQ10 decline with age? The body's natural CoQ10 synthesis decreases progressively with age, with levels beginning to decline in early adulthood. This age-related reduction in CoQ10 availability can affect cellular energy efficiency and antioxidant capacity, making supplementation a relevant consideration for adults seeking to maintain optimal mitochondrial function. What is the role of Hawthorn Berry in this formula? Hawthorn Berry (Crataegus spp.) is a botanical with a long history of use in supporting cardiovascular function. Its flavonoid and oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC) content is associated with supporting vascular tone and healthy circulation, making it a clinically relevant complement to CoQ10's mitochondrial energy support. How should CoQ10 100 mg with Hawthorn Berry be taken? The recommended serving is 1 capsule daily, taken with a fat-containing meal to optimize absorption. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, meaning dietary fat significantly enhances its bioavailability. Dosing may be adjusted to twice daily as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Is this product suitable for vegetarians? Yes — this formulation uses a hypromellose (cellulose) vegetarian capsule and contains no animal-derived ingredients in the capsule shell or formula. It is appropriate for vegetarians. Who may benefit most from CoQ10 supplementation? Adults over 40, individuals with high cardiovascular energy demands, and those seeking to support mitochondrial function as part of a comprehensive wellness protocol may find CoQ10 supplementation particularly relevant. As always, individuals with specific health conditions or those taking medications should consult a qualified healthcare provider before beginning supplementation. How should this product be stored? Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. No refrigeration is required. Keep out of reach of children and do not consume the freshness packet included in the bottle.
