Helps to maintain natural CoQ10 levels during a cholesterol-lowering statin therapy.
Product background
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential nutrient that works like an antioxidant in the body and aids mitochondria during energy production. Several health conditions have been associated with low CoQ10 levels including heart failure, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease and gingivitis. Moreover, several pharmaceuticals are known to deplete CoQ10 levels (statin drugs are a good example). Regular CoQ10, typically found in most powder-filled capsules and softgels, struggles with absorption because of its large molecule size and the fact that it often dissolves very poorly in fat and does not dissolve in water. Q-factor™ is a CoQ10 in liquid form both water and fat-soluble thanks to a revolutionary delivery system named Micro-sphere Dispersion Technology. Q-factor™ is available in convenient liquid single-dose stick packs or drops (30 ml bottle).

Natural bio-enhanced CoQ10, vitamin B1.
