What is a coenzyme and why is it useful for you? Well, scientifically speaking, a coenzyme is a molecule that enhances what an enzyme is already doing. It’s also an organic non-protein which binds with a protein molecule and forms an active enzyme. Okay…but what does that mean? It means that it’s a vitamin-like substance found in most human cells that is a key factor in the production of energy by your body.
Organs in your body with the highest energy requirements (your heart and your liver) have the highest concentrations of Coenzyme Q10. Supplemental CoQ10 is thought to act as an antioxidant that can help boost your cellular energy metabolism. It’s also believed to support healthy cardiovascular, immune, and central nervous system functions which makes it an important building block in your body.
Meat and fish contain the highest source of dietary CoQ10, but if you’re a vegetarian or vegan, your options are more limited. Broccoli, grapes, and cauliflower contain some CoQ10, but fruits and berries contain very little. So what do you do if you want to eat a plant-based diet? At Nutra Bulk, we’ve got a variety of options for you to choose from based on your needs. Whether you need 100mg or 200mg, we’ve got CoQ10 soft gels that are free from sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, and preservatives so you get exactly what your body needs to be healthy.
While this coenzyme (often known as CoQ10) is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, it can do your body a world of good.
