Grand Health_CoQFlax combines CoQ10 and Flaxseed Oil which help raise the body's reserves of Coenzyme Q10 that may have dropped due to age, illness, or medications. By supplementing CoQ 10 and raise the body's reserves, it will help improve the cardiovascular functions.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 in short) is a naturally occurring compound that is essential for energy production in the body's cells, especially the heart, which contains a dense concentration of mitochodria¡Xenergy producing components of cells. CoQ also helps preserve vitamin E, which is thought to prevent oxidation of cholesterol.
Levels of CoQ10 drops with age and are lower in people with heart disease. In fact, the more severe the heart disease, the lower CoQ10 levels are thought to be. The primary function of coenzyme Q10 is as a catalyst for metabolism the complex chain of chemical reactions during which food is broken down into packets of energy that the body can use. Acting in conjunction with enzymes, the compound speeds up the vital metabolic process, providing the energy that the cells need to digest food, heal wounds, maintain healthy muscles, and perform countless other bodily functions. Because of the nutrient's essential role in energy production, it's not surprising that it is found in every cell in the body. It is especially abundant in the energy-intensive cells of the heart, helping this organ beat more than 100,000 times each day.
Because Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound, experts suggest taking Coenzyme Q10 in oil base or taken with meal. Flaxseed oil has been used in CoQFlax as a vehicle for CoQ10, not only to increase its absorption, but also because flaxseed oil is a good source of essential fatty acid such as alpha-linolenic acid, and Omega-3 fatty acid. Alpha-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid which cannot be produced in the body and must be taken by food. Both in animals and humans, alpha-linolenic acid is desaturated and elongated into eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid. It is also incorporated into plasma and tissue lipids and its conversion is affected by levels of linoleic acid. Diet enriched in n-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, reduces the incidence of cardiac death. Studies have shown that alpha linolenic acid prevents ventricular fibrillation which is the main cause of cardiac death. Furthermore, alpha-linolenic acid is the main fatty acid decreasing platalet aggregation which is an important step in thrombosis i.e. non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke.
Therefore, the combination of Coenzyme Q10 and Flaxseed oil in CoQFlax will be the best supplement you can take in improving your cardiovascular health.
