Q10 Boosts Muscle Function and Exercise Performance

Researchers at Baylor University tested 200 mg per day of Q10 in a group of trained and unconditioned male and female participants.  The tests included measurements of Q10 levels in the blood as well as muscle biopsy showing Q10 levels, along with a variety of exercise challenges.

A single dose of Q10 boosted the level of this important energizing nutrient in the blood, which correlated directly to muscle levels of Q10 and the ability of muscles to use oxygen.  Over a two-week period the improved Q10 status correlated to an ability to do exercise longer before reaching exhaustion.

Q10 is needed in the last steps of energy production by any cell in your body.  Muscles, which must produce large amounts of energy to maintain function, require Q10 for optimal performance.  This study shows quite clearly the value of Q10 supplementation in direct muscle improvement.

Of course, your heart is a muscle and Q10 is well regarded as a superior cardiovascular support nutrient.  For broad cardiovascular and energy support nutrition the LeptiCardio Pack is recommended as it contains 100 mg Q10 per pack along with essential fatty acids, tocotrienols, pantethine, blueberry, policosanol, and special malic acid magnesium.

Q10 is also available as a stand alone product, and is often used as part of a program to offset fatigue and reduce stress.*
