Super-Q
It’s What Moves You
WHAT IT IS:
- A dual-action mitochondrial formula pairing Coenzyme Q10 with annatto-derived trans-geranylgeraniol (GG)
WHY YOU NEED IT:
- Important for patients with concerns for healthy aging, cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, fatigue, and muscle strength
- Targets patients on cholesterol-lowering drugs that deplete natural CoQ10 and GG
- Both CoQ10 and GG production decline naturally with age
- GG is required for your body’s muscle structure and function
HOW IT HELPS:
Coenzyme Q10 sits at the center of energy production. It shuttles electrons through the nano-batteries of each cell —the mitochondria. Without sufficient CoQ10, cellular energy production falters…and so will you.
Heart muscle, skeletal muscle and brain tissue all carry the highest concentrations of CoQ10, because those are the tissues with the highest energy demands.
Statin drugs work by blocking an enzyme in your liver that makes cholesterol and CoQ10 and GG. Many people are unaware that between CoQ10 and GG, GG is the more fundamental of the two. It serves as a building block for CoQ10 synthesis and for MK-4, the biologically active form of vitamin K2 that directs calcium into bone and away from arterial walls. GG is also required for essential skeletal muscle functionality and viability.
The delivery system reflects the same attention. Both CoQ10 and GG are fat-soluble and absorb poorly from a dry capsule. Suspending them in medium chain triglycerides with tocotrienols – also derived from annatto – substantially improves what actually reaches the bloodstream.
Dosage:
Take one softgel once or twice daily with a meal containing fat. Absorption of both CoQ10 and geranylgeraniol depends on dietary fat, so avoid taking this on an empty stomach.
