Australian NaturalCare CoQ10 150mg One-A-Day Get Up & Go is a powerful antioxidant which helps reduce damage to body cells. It also helps to support heart health and healthy cardiovascular system function and replenishes the antioxidant activity of vitamin E. It's also involved in the production of ATP, the energy source that fuels all bodily processes. It may be particularly beneficial for older people as the body's own levels of coenzyme Q10 diminish with age. As a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger, CoQ10 helps to reduce free radical damage to body cells. Free radicals are highly volatile molecules that are generated by exposure to environmental pollution, and external factors cigarette smoke and fried foods, and even some of our body's own metabolic processes. The damage caused by free radicals is known as oxidation, and at a cellular level, is regarded by some scientists as potentially being one of the major underlying causes of age-related health concerns. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 helps reduce free radicals formed in the body and inhibits their ability to cause cellular damage that can lead to health problems over time. It also supports the actions of other antioxidants in your body, for example by helping to regenerate vitamin E after it's performed its own work fighting free radicals.
