At the cellular level, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is necessary for energy production in mitochondria. Traditionally, CoQ10 has been used as a cardiovascular nutrient capable of improving signs and symptoms associated with low cellular energy in cardiac tissue, hypercholesterolemia, and various cardiomyopathies. Additionally, CoQ10 is known to be depleted in individuals taking cholesterol-lowering statins, making this nutrient even more crucial for cardiovascular health.
Beyond heart health, research has confirmed that CoQ10 has application for a wide range of health issues, including male and female infertility, Parkinson's disease, insulin resistance, migraines, and athletic performance. This versatility makes sense because the reproductive, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems require such a large amount of energy, and CoQ10 is able to meet the high energy needs of these systems. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal CoQ10 provides ubiquinone in a micellar liposome formulation, offering a variety of benefits over a standard ubiquinone product.
Liposomal delivery systems were originally developed to optimize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs. These same principles have now been applied to natural health ingredients. A liposome consists of a single- or multi-layer phospholipid structure with an aqueous core. Active ingredients can be placed within the aqueous core or within the phospholipid bilayer, where they are protected from various enzymatic and digestive processes. Ultimately, liposomes improve the bioavailability of active ingredients.
However, not all liposomal deliveries are created equal. Liposomes are several hundred nanometers in size, meaning there is still a significant amount of digestion that must occur to reduce the surface area and allow for proper absorption. Micelles, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be absorbed directly at a size of around 20 nanometers.
Cyto-Matrix Liposomal CoQ10 uses a unique, patented Cyto-Sorb technology to create a stable, multi-layered liposome with additional micellar delivery of ubiquinone. These methods allow for micronutrient stability and improved bioavailability, while also promoting the delivery of active ingredients to intestinal absorption sites in a sustained-release manner.
Cyto-Sorb liposomal formulas are produced through a two-phase emulsion process using phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E, and organic coconut vegetable glycerin. Potassium bicarbonate is strategically added to stabilize the active ingredient, prevent oxidation, and enhance flavor. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal CoQ10 provides 75 mg of ubiquinone per teaspoon, in a delicious peach-tangerine flavor for improved compliance. Each bottle provides 45 servings.
