LifeExtension Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 100mg presents a highly bioavailable form of coenzyme Q10 in a patented delivery system. 

Ubiquinol is absorbed up to 8 times better than the traditional form of CoQ10, ubiquinone. This unique formulation is combined with PrimaVie shilajit, an adaptogen which has clinically shown to increase the absorption of CoQ10 even more, achieving enhanced support of healthy mitochondrial function and with it support of every system in the body. 

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) protects mitochondria from free radical damage and is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are especially concentrated in cells of organs like the brain, liver, kidneys and the heart. They are the energy powerhouses of body cells and mainly perform cellular respiration, meaning they take nutrients from the cell, break them down and turn it to energy. This is a crucial process to keep cells healthy and to keep up their normal functions in every tissue in the body which is why effective mitochondrial function is critical for wellbeing and overall health. However, CoQ10 levels in the body deplete with age. 

Super Ubiquinol Co10 offers a powerful way to help supporting levels of coenzyme Q10 and mitochondrial function.

PrimaVie shilajit is a mixture of minerals and fulvic acid which acts as an adaptogen. Clinical studies have shown the value of the combination of ubiquinol CoQ10 and shilajit. Shilajit prolongs the efficacy of CoQ10 by stabilizing it in its ubiquinol form and assisting its delivery into the mitochondria. It has shown to almost double the effect of ubiquinol in mitochondria supporting their normal function and energy production. 

LifeExtension Super R-Lipoic Acid provides the superior, more bioavailable, potent, active and stable form of Lipoic acid, sodium-R-lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid comes from alpha-lipoic acid and is the lipoic acid that is normally produced and used in the human body. In a breakthrough process, this biologically active form of R-lipoic acid is converted into sodium-R-lipoic acid which is seen as the “next-generation” antioxidant powerhouse with a variety of health benefits. Sodium-R-lipoic acid produces 10-30 times higher peak blood plasma levels within 10-20  minutes of taking it than pure R-lipoic acid. This means better and faster absorption from the blood into the tissues. 

Research has shown that the antioxidant effects of R-lipoic acid supports healthy mitochondrial function. 

Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of body cells and mainly perform cellular respiration, meaning they take nutrients from the cell, break them down and turn it to energy. This is a crucial process to keep cells healthy and to keep up their normal functions in every tissue in the body which is why effective mitochondrial function is critical for wellbeing and overall health. Assisting mitochondrial health therefore means support for many body systems and ultimately healthy ageing. 

As an antioxidant R-lipoic acid can give support to protect from oxidative stress triggered by imbalanced blood sugar levels or imbalanced weight, support healthy states of blood vessels and balance inflammatory responses in the tissues. 

Life Extension Carnosine 500mg provides carnosine to help protect muscle cell membranes including supporting efficient heart muscle function. It has also shown to help with healthy ageing by stabilizing proteins which are the basic building block of tissues and other important body systems. 

Carnosine is a multifunctional dipeptide made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine. It is found both in food and in the human body, with carnosine levels declining with ageing. Long-lived cells such as nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells (myocytes) contain high levels of carnosine. Muscle levels of carnosine correlate with the maximum life spans of animals. Carnosine has potent antioxidant properties and has been shown to support balancing a process which leads to damage of proteins within body tissues and contributes to ageing. In its function as an antioxidant it also protects muscle cell membranes from oxidation which happens under acidic conditions, for example during or after exercise and muscle exertion. Not only that, but carnosine may also help the heart muscle to contract more efficiently, through balancing calcium response in muscle cells of the heart.
