Coenzyme Q10, ubiquinones or mitoquinones belong to a group of lipid-soluble (lipid = fat) benzoquinones involved in electron transport in mitochondrial preparations. Thus said, Co-Q10 is a VITAL enzyme to all aerobic structures, for it is involved in energy transport! The sites in the human body which require the most mitochondrial action are those which are constantly at work: the heart, lungs, brain. Due to this fact, it is these organs, the heart especially, which are compromised due to malfunctioning or inadequate mitochondrial activity.

Why is Coenzyme Q10 important?

Low Coenzyme Q10 levels have been linked to poor heart functioning, and thus CoQ10 has been used as a nutritional supplement in protection of cardiac muscle in surgery. CoQ10 also plays a role in blood vessel health, blood pressure, muscle degeneration and oral hygiene. Ultimately, CoQ10 aids heart health, post-operative recovery, high blood pressure, oral hygiene and immunity.

Why is Hemp Oil important? (i.e. what is hemp oil?) 

Intensive Nutrition's cold pressed, hemp seed oil is derived from the seed of the female hemp plant (Cannabis sativa) and possesses a very high nutritional value. As an Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) Hemp Oil provides the ideal 3:1 balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6 oils. It also contains both 3, 6 and GLA oils. These essential fatty acids are the building blocks of longer chain fats, i.e. EPA and DHA, that occur in cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines). Hemp oil also contains 1.7% of GLA or gamma-linoleic acid. GLA stimulates growth of hair and nails, improves health of skin and can reduce inflammation. May support immune health. Because we can not synthesize EFA's, supplemental EFA is suggested. Due to increasing levels of contaminants found in our food supply, specifically in coldwater fish, hemp seed oil is an ideal supplement.

Why is sublingual/slow-dissolving better? 

Like our Folixor products, sublingual and/or buccal formulations allow for the best absorption pattern possible as the nutrient is gradually absorbed into the bloodstream, allowing the body the most efficient processing possible, for the nutrient remains in the bloodstream for a longer period of time.
