The body makes CoQ10 from the amino acids – tyrosine and methionine. And CoQ10 is available from food sources too but we do not always consume enough of these foods. The therapeutic amounts needed far exceed what the body can make or absorb from food. The average diet supplies only a small amount of CoQ10. It is estimated that a typical Western diet provides about 5 mg CoQ10 a day.

In reality, it is not likely that one can consume large quantities of any organ meat needed to obtain a reasonable amount of CoQ10. Also foods that we eat are moe often processed, and provide little or no CoQ10.

Unfortunately the body’s ability to synthesize CoQ10 from food sources declines with age. So without supplementation, older individuals can develop low CoQ10 status. By age 40, many of us can expect some level of CoQ10 inadequacy. Substantial research demonstrates a strong correlation between poor CoQ10 status and various problems ranging from lack of energy, to heart disease and major ill health.

Research indicates that if levels of CoQ10 decline by 25%, our organs may become deficient and impaired. When levels decline by 75%, serious tissue damage and even death may occur. On the other hand animal studies show that CoQ10 supplementation increases both tissue levels and mitochondrial levels of CoQ10. Experiments and clinical data evidence the fact that CoQ10 supplementation can increase blood levels in those with severe heart disease.

CoQ10 supplements are therefore desirable and the Bio-enhanced formulation of QUNOL ensures adequate amounts of CoQ10 in a readily absorbable form.
