A fat-soluble vitamin-like substance present in every cell of the body and serves as a coenzyme for several of the key enzymatic steps in the production of energy within the cell. It is a potent antioxidant as well. In addition, it should normally be present in high concentrations in the heart and liver. However, due to suppressed concentrations in current foodstuffs, cardiac and hepatitis deficiencies commonly occur in the absence of supplementation. This effect is exaggerated in heart and liver disease. Broad arrays of heart diseases may be improved with Coenzyme Q10 use, including coronary artery disease, myocarditis and heart failure. These diseases appear to be preventable in part by administration of CoQ10.
Liposomes are cell membrane-like structures that encapsulate and carry supplements. They have features that promote the most exceptional absorption in the vitamin industry. The liposome protects the supplement inside from destruction in the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, the unique composition of the liposome allows it to merge with the intestinal wall, transporting the supplement into the bloodstream. Together, these two characteristics have been proven to ensure nearly 100% absorption of an ingested supplement, allowing for convenient once per day dosing. SBM Biologics’ liposomes exemplify the best in liposomal technology. Freeze-drying allows for a long shelf-life, molecules with high surface volumes (maximizing absorption across the intestinal wall) and use in capsules rather than in low-stability liquid products. Small size enhances absorption across pores in the intestinal wall. Unique composition reduces cost and enhances release of transported products into cells in the body where they can be used.
