Pharma Nord Bio Quinone Active Q10

Pharma Nord Bio-Quinone Q10 is a Co-enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) Supplement. Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance which plays a vital role in the body's energy supply mechanism, acting alongside enzymes converting fats and sugars into energy. All body cells require a supply of Q10, with the heart and muscle cells having a particularly high demand.

Pharma Nord's patented preparation delivers Co-enzyme Q10 in the active form that has been documented in over 90 scientific studies to provide a consistently high level of bio-availability.

What is Co-enzyme Q10?
Coenzyme quinones occur in several chemical forms, with coenzyme Q10 being the only form found in human tissues.

The human body is able to synthesize (in the liver) a limited amount of coenzyme Q10, with the remainder being obtained from the diet. Rich sources of coenzyme Q10 include fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines) and nuts. Under normal circumstances, the body is able to maintain adequate levels of coenzyme Q10. However, coenzyme Q10 levels decrease with age, and are depleted by intense physical exercise or illness.

Coenzyme Q10 is an essential cofactor of enzymes involved in the energy production process. Coenzyme Q10 is stored in mitochondria, structures found within cells responsible for the generation of energy (in the form of a molecule called ATP). Tissues with a high-energy requirement (heart, liver, skeletal muscles) contain higher numbers of mitochondria within their cells.

Inside the mitochondria, energy is produced from nutrients in the food we eat. A Q10 deficiency may be one of the reasons why cells fail to produce energy. This, in turn, weakens the body's ability to protect itself against illness and the onset of old age.

Co-enzyme Q10 and Statins
There are up to 8 million statin users in the UK. Research has shown that around 10% of these people could be suffering from side-effects, which can include muscle aches, joint pain and fatigue. In other parts of the world statin manufacturers are obliged to state that statin drugs may impact our natural co-enzyme Q10 production.

Pharma Nord recommends 1-2 capsules per day, or as directed by a physician.
