CoQ10

MicroActive® CoQ10 is an advanced formulation of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) with unmatched absorption and superior bioavailability. This innovative 24-hour sustained release MicroActive® CoQ10 has uniformly enhanced bioavailability, making it 3x better absorbed than regular (crystalline) CoQ10 and 2x better absorbed than solubilized (enhanced bioavailability) CoQ10 softgels.₁ This means it is more readily available to the body's tissues and organs, ensuring efficient utilization and playing a crucial role in energy production and serving as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage and providing cellular energy support to the most vital organs including the heart and brain.

MicroActive® CoQ10 ’s advanced delivery system incorporates a 24-hour sustained release technology. The patented microencapsulation process forms CoQ10 particles into tiny, highly bioavailable spheres; this technology complexes each CoQ10 molecule with beta-cyclodextrin, a compound made of starch molecules which enhances both solubility and stability. This technology ensures a gradual and steady release of CoQ10 over an extended period, optimizing absorption and utilization by the body.

MicroActive® CoQ10's heightened bioavailability allows for greater antioxidant protection against free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative stress and promoting healthy cellular function. This enhanced antioxidant activity can positively impact various aspects of human health, including cardiovascular function, cognitive health, and exercise performance._2,3 The mechanism of action, once absorbed, relies on the CoQ10’s entrance into the mitochondria, where it plays a critical role in the electron transport chain, facilitating ATP synthesis. The sustained release feature of Microactive CoQ10 ensures a consistent supply of CoQ10 to support energy-demanding organs, most clinically relevant being the heart and brain.
