PureQ10 200 mg

PURE Q10 200 mg is a dietary supplement designed to support the normal functioning of energy metabolism and the heart. Each daily dose (2 capsules) provides 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 (as ubiquinone), a molecule essential for energy production in cells. This formula is enriched with vitamin B1, which promotes normal heart function, as well as vitamin C, known for its involvement in energy metabolism and its role in combating oxidative stress.

Its lipid base, derived from coconut milk, allows for better absorption of Q10 to make it more easily assimilated.

✅Contributes to normal heart function: Vitamin B1 contributes to normal heart function. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is involved in maintaining healthy blood vessels.

✅Supports energy metabolism: Vitamin B1 and vitamin C contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, which is essential for energy production in the body.

✅Protects against oxidative stress: Vitamin C helps protect cells against oxidative stress, particularly by limiting damage caused by free radicals generated during physical exertion or stressful situations.

✅Optimized bioavailability: Coenzyme Q10, a fat-soluble molecule, is traditionally combined with a lipid base to facilitate its assimilation. The coconut milk in this formula provides a natural lipid base that complements this approach.

‍

(1) The beneficial effectsThe above-mentioned vitamins B1 and C are obtained with a daily intake covering at least 15% of the reference nutritional values (NRV). This product provides 30% of the NRV, thus guaranteeing their effectiveness.

To date, coenzyme Q10 does not have any authorized health claims under Regulation (EU) No. 432/2012. Numerous scientific studies are examining this coenzyme to report on its properties and effects.

‍

This product is intended for all people who:

• Want to maintain normal heart function with vitamin B1.

• Wish to support their energetic well-being by integrating coenzyme Q10, naturally present in the body and involved in energy processes.

• Are getting older and want to supplement their diet with a source of coenzyme Q10. Scientific research has documented that Q10 production naturally declines with age.

• Feel temporary fatigue and want to reduce this feeling with vitamin C.

• Want to protect their cells against oxidative stress with vitamin C.

• Practice regular physical activity and seek support to address energy challenges and oxidative stress.

• Are getting older and want to supplement their diet with ingredients known for their involvement in energy metabolism, such as vitamins B1 and C.
