COENZYME Q10 200MG CAPS 60S (NATURAL FACTOR)

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10 200mg (60 capsules pack) provides a high-potency bioidentical ubiquinone formulation designed for essential mitochondrial bioenergetics and systemic free radical scavenging:
• Mitochondrial ATP Synthesis & Electron Transport: Functions as an indispensable electron carrier within the inner mitochondrial membrane, shuttling electrons from Complexes I and II to Complex III in the respiratory chain. This optimizes oxidative phosphorylation and cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, particularly in organ tissues with peak metabolic energy demands such as the myocardium, kidney, liver, and brain.
• Potent Lipid Antioxidant Defense: Acts directly within lipid membranes and circulating low-density lipoproteins (LDL) to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS). It regenerates oxidized Vitamin E back into its active antioxidant state, protecting cell membranes and blood vessels from lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress.
• Replenishment of Statin-Induced Depletion: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) block the mevalonate pathway, which inhibits endogenous synthesis of both cholesterol and CoQ10. Supplemental CoQ10 restores depleted tissue levels, helping alleviate statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) such as myalgia and muscle weakness.
• Enhanced Bioavailability Base: Formulated in a natural oil vehicle (typically non-GMO sunflower oil or rice bran oil) within softgel capsules to facilitate micellar lipid dissolution and enhance intestinal absorption.

Clinical Indications

• Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10 200mg 60s is indicated for:
• Supporting optimal heart muscle contraction, vascular endothelial function, and healthy blood pressure levels
• Adjunctive management of congestive heart failure (CHF), cardiomyopathy, and ischemic heart disease
• Prevention and relief of statin-induced muscle pain (statin-associated myopathy)
• Reducing the frequency and severity of migraine headaches
• Enhancing physical stamina, combating chronic fatigue, and supporting male reproductive health (sperm motility)

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• Swallow capsules whole with a fat-containing meal to maximize lipid-mediated gastrointestinal absorption. Do not chew or puncture the capsule.

Recommended Dosage:

• Adults: 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by a cardiologist or primary healthcare physician.

Precautions & Warnings:

• Generally well tolerated. Use with caution in patients taking anticoagulant medications like warfarin, as CoQ10 shares structural similarities with Vitamin K and may reduce anticoagulant efficacy; monitor INR levels closely. May lower blood pressure or blood glucose levels; patients on antihypertensive or hypoglycemic medications should monitor their levels. Store below 25°C in a dry place protected from heat and light. Keep out of reach of children.
