Natural Vitamin E Plus CoQ 10
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that fights against damaging natural substances known as free radicals. It is incorporated into the fat-based tissues of the body, such as the heart, fat-carrier molecules like LDL (“bad” cholesterol), and our cell membranes, where it acts to stabilize these structures and protect them from free radical attack. Vitamin E also protects our cells from compounds such as lead, mercury and other heavy metals. Vitamin E is complimentary with Vitamin C in its function, therefore Vitamin E and Vitamin C should be taken together. There are several natural compounds, called tocopherols, that demonstrate Vitamin E activity, and dl-Alpha Tocopherol is the synthetic form of Vitamin E. Because of Vitamin E’s strong antioxidant effects, supplementation exerts a protective effect in many common health conditions.
Coenzyme Q-10, or CoQ-10 is an essential component of the energy production for all body processes. Research on CoQ-10 has identified its role as a powerful antioxidant and has indicated that CoQ-10 supplementation may provide benefit in certain health conditions. In particular, CoQ-10 has been used to help maintain a healthy heart and to help the body’s energy processes during exercise. As an antioxidant, CoQ-10 protects against the oxidation of fats in the body, such as LDL (“bad cholesterol”), which can be damaging to our cell membranes. CoQ-10 also works very closely with Vitamin E, and seems to exert a sparing effect on Vitamin E, thereby increasing the antioxidant ability in the body.
