FitoQuinona®10 is a food supplement based on an innovative formula of coenzyme Q10, in the form of ubiquinone, with improved absorption thanks to Fitosoma® (UbiQsome®) technology.
Since the oral bioavailability of CoQ10 is quite poor, due to its high molecular weight and very low aqueous solubility, it has been formulated with Fitosoma® technology to optimize the bioabsorption of this important cofactor.
This Fitosoma® technology allows for greater bioavailability of coenzyme Q10. Absorption is three times greater than that of the same nutrient without using this technology.
The formula is reinforced with vitamin C (PureWay-C®) which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage, and with vitamin B1, which contributes to the normal function of the heart, energy-yielding metabolism and normal psychological function. What is coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like substance found in all of our body's cells and determines the performance of our organs. Coenzyme Q10 is involved in the production of 95% of the body's energy (ATP) and is essential for cellular respiration. Therefore, it is a vital and fundamental compound for producing energy and protecting our cells. What is the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol?
Simply put: the biological form. The body maintains a reserve of two forms of CoQ10: the oxidized form, ubiquinone, and the reduced, antioxidant form, ubiquinol. For coenzyme Q10 in the form of ubiquinone to be used for energy production at the cellular level, the body must convert it into ubiquinol. A young, healthy person with proper nutrition produces enough ubiquinol themselves or can convert coenzyme Q10 into ubiquinol, but with age, natural production of ubiquinol declines.What is the patented Fitosoma® formula?
Fitosoma® technology is based on the concept of biomimicry, the belief that by imitating nature and supporting it with knowledge from research, using processes and principles developed in the laboratory, benefits can be achieved in terms of rationalization, simplification, sustainability, tolerability, and human safety.
Fitosoma® technology uses a patented method by which a compound is coated with a phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylserine). The human body recognizes these phospholipids as nutrients and allows the compounds to naturally cross cell membranes, optimizing their absorption.
Simply put: Fitosoma® Technology mimics the natural process of nutrient absorption to deliver an active ingredient into the cell.
