Heart Health
Heart health is top of mind and you're looking for added support.*
Co Q-10 is not intended to serve as a replacement for statin therapy, nor should you discontinue taking any prescribed medications while supplementing with Co Q-10.
You sometimes get minor headaches associated with temporary stress.*
Co Q-10 concentration is an important determinant of heart function and cardiovascular health. It is a part of the mitochondrial machinery that makes up a large percentage of your body’s cellular energy, which is why it is vital for the muscle of the heart and other organs and tissues with high-energy requirements.
CoQ10 levels reach their peak by age 20 and decrease by up to 50% in different parts of the body by age 80.1 Studies have also found that statin medications can deplete Co Q-10 even further.
Although Co Q-10 can be found in foods like fish and meat, we may not get enough from diet alone. A daily Co Q-10 supplement can help replenish what is lost with age or what statin medications deplete.
However, Co Q-10 is not intended to serve as a replacement for statin therapy, nor should you discontinue taking any prescribed medications while supplementing with Co Q-10.
Take with food and plenty of water

Co Q-10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is found in the energy producing cells of the heart where it helps to produce cellular energy the heart needs to beat.* The heart may be especially prone to a reduction in Co Q-10 levels with age so it becomes increasingly important to supplement with this clinically studied ingredient for heart health.*
Co Q-10 also supports healthy blood pressure levels already within a normal range.* In addition, it also promotes oral and gum health, which has been linked to cardiovascular health, and at 400 mg per day it helps with occasional minor headaches associated with temporary stress.*
Puritan's Pride® own Q-Sorb™ Co Q-10 is a fermented, highly purified, liquid form of Co Q-10. We take the same form of Co Q-10 your body naturally produces and enrobe it in naturally sourced oils to improve absorption.
