Product Information from Weil
This unique formula features two important nutrients, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and omega-3 fatty acids, that create a wonderful synergy unmatched in any other stand-alone products currently available.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural substance found in many foods that improves use of oxygen at the cellular level. This powerful antioxidant is widely recognized as one of the most efficient supplements available in supporting healthy cardiovascular function.
CoQ10 is beneficial for heart health in many ways: it prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol; maintains blood vessels; reduces the risk of clots and plaque rupture; and supports optimal functioning of the heart muscle. Research indicates it may also help lower blood pressure and strengthen cardiac muscle in patients who have had heart failure. CoQ10 is fat-soluble and should be taken with a meal containing fat for best absorption.
Omega-3 fatty acids, simply put, are the 'good' fats. The human body needs fats to support a variety of critical metabolic processes, but not all fats are created equal. These essential fatty acids are found primarily in oily fish that live in deep, cold waters, such as salmon, mackerel, black cod, sardines, and herring. The omega-3 fatty acid complex provided in this formula is a high potency, superior quality blend designed to support a healthy heart.
Research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids support healthy heart function and reduce risks of degenerative disease. Omega-3 fatty acids may lower triglyceride levels, maintain ideal cholesterol levels, modify the inflammatory response, and prevent abnormal blood clotting, while keeping blood vessels healthy.
'The ubiquitous presence of this compound in every living cell led to its name 'ubiquinone', but you may know it as Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. It protects the heart and increases aerobic capacity. I take CoQ10 every day.' - Andrew Weil, M.D.
