COQ10 - Swanson

COQ10 , from the Swanson brand, is a high-quality health food supplement .

Coenzyme Q10, naturally present in the body, participates in energy metabolism at the cellular level . Also known as ubiquinone , coenzyme Q10 serves to transport electrons in the mitochondria , the organelles responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate ).

CoQ10 is naturally produced by the body, but it is also obtained from food, particularly in meats, oily fish, and certain vegetable oils. This molecule exists in two main forms in the body: ubiquinone , its oxidized form, and ubiquinol, its reduced form. The body's ability to produce this coenzyme decreases over the years. This dietary supplement is therefore beneficial for people with a very active lifestyle .

Swanson’s COQ10 supplement manufacturing begins with the production of coenzyme Q10 through microbial fermentation , where specific microorganisms are used to generate CoQ10. Once produced, it is extracted , purified , and crystallized to obtain a stable and pure form. It is then formulated into capsules and blended with organic soybean oil to improve absorption . The final product undergoes rigorous quality control checks before being packaged. Capsules provide a convenient and precise method of consumption, ensuring that the desired effects are achieved.
