Grand Health CoQFlax combines CoQ10 and Flaxseed Oil which help raise the body's reserves of Coenzyme Q10 that may have dropped due to age, illness, or medications. By supplementing CoQ 10 and raise the body's reserves, it will help improve the cardiovascular functions.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 in short) is a naturally occurring compound that is essential for energy production in the body's cells, especially the heart, which contains a dense concentration of mitochodria—energy producing components of cells. CoQ also helps preserve vitamin E, which is thought to prevent oxidation of cholesterol.
Because Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound, experts suggest taking Coenzyme Q10 in oil base or taken with a meal. Flaxseed oil has been used in CoQFlax as a vehicle for CoQ10, not only to increase its absorption, but also because flaxseed oil is a good source of essential fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid and Omega-3 fatty acid. Alpha-linolenic acid cannot be produced in the body and must be taken in through food. Both in animals and humans, alpha-linolenic acid is desaturated and elongated into eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid. It is also incorporated into plasma and tissue lipids and its conversion is affected by levels of linoleic acid. Diet enriched in n-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, reduces the incidence of cardiac death. Studies have shown that alpha linolenic acid prevents ventricular fibrillation which is the main cause of cardiac death.
Therefore, the combination of Coenzyme Q10 and Flaxseed oil in CoQFlax will be the best supplement you can take in improving your cardiovascular health.
