Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of the mitochondria, the energy-producing units of the cells. While CoQ10 is synthesized in the body, and in fact, is present in every cell, it is particularly important in muscle tissue—especially the heart. Supplementing with higher dietary levels of CoQ10 can nutritionally support cardiovascular health.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a micronutrient essential to all human life. It is a naturally occurring nutrient that works as a co-factor in the body’s electron transport system where all of the body’s energy is derived. CoQ10 regulates the flow of oxygen moving in and out of the mitochondria, which are the cell’s power plants. The body’s cellular power plants can’t function without CoQ10.

Declines in CoQ10 levels occur with advancing age and appear to be correlated with deterioration of the immune system. Supplementation with CoQ10 could help to boost energy levels, strengthen and protect the heart and blood vessels, enhance the immune system and protect against free radical damage.

Like all muscles, the heart needs adequate energy to contract, and CoQ10 facilitates the production of that energy. In those with coronary heart disease, supplementation may reduce the frequency of angina episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise that a person can perform before developing angina pain. Tissues that need the largest amounts of CoQ10, like the heart, are those that require the most energy.

Conventionally delivered CoQ10 exposes your body to CoQ10 for only a short period of time, whereas CDT CoQ10 ensures a constant supply, or pulsed delivery, of this important nutrient throughout the day. This slow delivery process ensures maximum assimilation.

Policosanol appears to slow down cholesterol synthesis in the liver and increase liver re-absorption of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Policosanol has also been shown to increase levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Cholesterol is a fat-related substance necessary for good health. It is a normal component of most body tissues, especially those of the brain, nervous system, liver and blood and is needed to form the sex and adrenal hormones, vitamin D and bile; a digestive secretion required for fat digestion. A high level of blood cholesterol, however, increases the likelihood of developing health problems such as heart disease. There are five types of cholesterol, but it is the HDL and LDL cholesterol that we look to in assessing the potential for disease.

HDL, referred to as the “good” cholesterol, has the ability to clear built-up cholesterol from the arteries and help in its removal from the body. LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, is linked to heart disease and is involved in the fatty build-up on artery walls known as atherosclerosis or \"hardening of the arteries\". Recent research indicates that low HDL levels are a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease.

One of Policosanol’s important actions is to reduce the abundance of cells in the arteries by inhibiting the oxidation of LDL. Oxidized LDL is dangerous. It promotes the destruction of blood vessels by creating a chronic inflammatory response. Oxidized LDL can also provoke metalloproteinase enzymes. These enzymes promote blood vessel destruction, partly by interfering with HDL’s protective effect. Healthy arteries are lined with a smooth layer of cells that permit the blood to pass with no resistance. Unhealthy arteries become overwhelmed with cells, causing the blood passage to narrow and eventually be blocked which can lead to heart attack.
