Pure Encapsulations® Coenzyme Q10 – High-quality, biofermented CoQ10 for targeted dietary supplementation

Additional product information

Pure Encapsulations® Coenzyme Q10 contains high-quality coenzyme Q10 (ubichinone) obtained through microbial fermentation. This fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance occurs naturally in virtually all body cells and plays an important role in cellular energy production.

Coenzyme Q10 is a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is involved in the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the most important energy carrier in cells.

The body can produce coenzyme Q10 itself and also absorbs small amounts through food.

Coenzyme Q10 – An important component of body cells

Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is a fat-soluble vitaminoid and has structural similarities to vitamins E and K.

Chemically, it is a ubichinone with ten isoprene units in the side chain. This is where the designation Q10 comes from.

The name ubichinone is derived from the Latin word "ubique" for "everywhere" and refers to its presence in virtually all body cells.

Coenzyme Q10 and energy production

Coenzyme Q10 is an important component of mitochondria, which are involved in supplying energy to the cells.

Within the mitochondrial respiratory chain, coenzyme Q10 performs a function in electron transport and thus supports the formation of ATP.

Tissues with a high energy demand, such as heart and muscle tissue, contain particularly large amounts of coenzyme Q10.

Ubichinone and ubichinol

Coenzyme Q10 exists in the body in two interconvertible forms:

• Ubichinone: The oxidized form of coenzyme Q10.

• Ubichinol: The reduced form of coenzyme Q10.

Both forms are components of natural metabolic processes and can be converted into one another in the body.

Coenzyme Q10 in the diet

The human body can produce coenzyme Q10 itself. Various metabolic pathways and nutrients are involved in its biosynthesis.

Coenzyme Q10 is also obtained through food, particularly meat, fish, nuts, and certain plant oils.

The average daily intake through the diet is often around 3–6 mg.

With increasing age or under certain conditions, coenzyme Q10 metabolism may change.

Biofermented coenzyme Q10 of tested quality

Pure Encapsulations® uses high-quality coenzyme Q10 obtained through microbial fermentation.

Manufacturing takes place under controlled quality conditions.

The preparation is available in four dosage strengths: 30 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg, and 250 mg of coenzyme Q10. This allows the supplement to be selected according to individual needs.

Important information

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children and store in a cool, dry place.

If you are taking anticoagulant medications, especially vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin or phenprocoumon, you should consult your doctor before use.

If you are taking blood pressure medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have existing medical conditions, professional advice is also recommended beforehand.

Note: Coenzyme Q10 performs important physiological functions in the body. However, this does not automatically imply a clinically proven health benefit from additional intake.
