Q10 (Ubichinol)
Coenzyme Q10 is essential for the normal functioning of all tissues due to its role in the cellular energy production process. Both heart and skeletal muscles have the highest energy requirements of all bodily tissues, and are particularly reliant on adequate Q10 as a result.
Pharma Nord has spent more than 25 years developing and optimizing Bio-Quinone Q10 for the sole purpose of producing a coenzyme Q10 preparation which scientifically can document its superior bioavailability and quality - thereby earning its status as the reference product for scientific studies.
Pharma Nord's Q10 is the reference product for the International Coenzyme Q10 Association
The International Coenzyme Q10 Association (ICQA) is the leading association for Coenzyme Q10 research worldwide. The ICQA's mission is to promote basic and applied research into the preventive and therapeutic effects of Coenzyme Q10 supplementation and adjuvant therapy. The ICQA conferences are an important venue for the dissemination of the outcomes of research into the effects of Coenzyme Q10 on cellular bio-energetics, antioxidant defense, endothelial function, and inflammation.
Coenzyme Q10 occurs naturally within every cell in the human body, we cannot live without it. It is a vitamin-like substance which is found in our mitochondria (structures within cells responsible for energy production). It is also important as an antioxidant, associated with various health benefits.
Approximately three quarters of the body’s Q10 is made within the liver. You can obtain small amounts of coQ10 from food. Our Q10 levels peak between the ages of 20 and 25. As the body’s ability to manufacture/absorb Q10 declines with age, our levels of Q10 will also decline. Dietary supplementation can help to maintain optimal levels of coenzyme Q10 within the body.
The many names of coenzyme Q10
One can easily get confused by the many names Q10 can appear under in the literature. Here is a selection of different names for coenzyme Q10 in the form of ubiquinone: Ubiqinone - Ubidecarenone - Myoquinone - Myoqinon - Bio-Qinone - Normal Q10 - Oxidized Q10 - The original Q10 - Q - QX - CoQ - CoQ10 - 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-decaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinone.
Bio-Quinone Active Q10 Gold contains 100% natural Q10.
The raw material is produced by specialized yeast cells and is identical to the coenzyme Q10 produced by the body. The product does not contain any yeast components or impurities of unknown nature. The raw material is completely free of harmful cis-isomers, often found in cheap synthetic Q10 raw materials of low quality. All raw materials used in the Bio-Quinone Active Q10 supplement undergo an extensive quality control before production.
Using a special manufacturing technique the small Q10 crystals completely dissolve at body temperature. It is this complete solution of Q10, a high quality raw material and manufacturing according to the pharmaceutical and the GMP protocol. This is the reason that Bio-Quinone Active Q10 supplement has achieved such good bioavailability of the active substance, and success in scientific studies.
Bioavailability is the proportion of substance that reaches the systemic blood circulation after oral consumption and access the site of action. Bio-Quinone uses a patented method to release crystal structure Q10. As a result, Bio-Quinone was selected for the prestigious KiSel-10 and Q-SYMBIO trials.
Optimal Oil Formulation
Pharma Nord Q10 supplements are shown to raise blood levels of coenzyme Q10 in human subjects, with extensive supporting documentation.
Several clinical trials have shown that the Bio-Quinone patented formulation delivers superior bioavailability.
