Q10

Q10, from Vitobest®, contains only coenzyme Q10 from Kaneka™, fermented by yeast and identical to the one produced by our body to help us obtain energy from fatty acids and oxygen.

Coenzyme Q10 is well defined as a crucial component of the oxidative phosphorylation process in mitochondria¹.

Scientific studies also highlight that it constitutes an essential cofactor of the electron transport chain, as well as a potent eliminator of free radicals in lipidic and mitochondrial membranes, which means it can exert very useful neuroprotective effects².

But while we can find it naturally in our body, high oxidative stress, age and external and internal factors affect our ability to generate the necessary quantities to guarantee these processes. Correcting this deficiency then requires supplementation with higher levels of coenzyme Q10 than those available in the diet, and this is achieved with quality ingredients like those used in our formulation.

Q10, from Vitobest®, contains only coenzyme Q10 from Kaneka™, the company that has led the production of this type of molecule in the world for 30 years. Its patented coenzyme is the only yeast-fermented one on the market: it does not contain the impurities of the synthetically processed one. In addition, it is free from genetically modified organisms and allergens, is identical to the one produced within our body, has Kosher certification and is obtained according to the good manufacturing practices designated by the FDA.

Vitobest® uses for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free from titanium dioxide.
