CoQ10 is one of the most popular nutritional supplements in history and for good reason. This nutrient plays a crucial in how well or not well your mitochondria function.
Remember, the mitochondria are the biological “powerplants” that produce the energy every cell in your body needs to survive.
The process by which your mitochondria create energy goes like this:
Food is turned into electrons, which mitochondria turn into ATP…
Also known as your the body’s “energy currency.”
CoQ10 is the essential enzyme within the mitochondria that jumpstarts this process.
If you think of the mitochondria as little energy engines, which turn electrons into energy…
CoQ10 is like the mitochondria’s ignition switch.
It’s what tells your mitochondria that it’s time to start turning out more energy.
No other substance will substitute for CoQ10 either.
Without CoQ10 there is no ignition and therefore no energy for the rest of the body to use.
Knowing the basics of CoQ10, I want to share with you the top eight benefits of you can recieve from taking a CoQ10 supplement.
Because CoQ10 plays an essential role in how much or how little energy your mitochondria produce, the first big benefits of supplementing with CoQ10 comes in the form of energy enhancement.
CoQ10 increases the size of the mitochondria by over 200%.
CoQ10 has been shown to increase your body’s “energy currency” ATP by up to 90%!
In healthy subjects, 300mg of CoQ10 was shown to decrease fatigue levels by up to 33%.
CoQ10 levels in the body peak early in life; around age 20. After that, they decline for the rest of life…plummeting 6-7 times lower by age 80.
It’s no wonder research shows when CoQ10 levels fall, mitochondrial dysfunction skyrockets, and aging is accelerated. Or why CoQ10 is found to activate genes that are connected with healthier aging.
CoQ10 is found throughout the entire body, but nowhere more than in the heart. Without energy from CoQ10, the heart begins to “tire”, resulting in less blood flow, irregular beating, and dangerous thickening of the artery walls.
Taking 200 mg of CoQ10 is shown to improve heart function, irregular heartbeat, reduce heart wall thickness.

Inflammation is a key factor in how well or not well we age. It’s connected to everything from joint pain, mental fatigue, to hair loss.
In a meta-analysis of 17 studies researchers concluded that CoQ10 plummeted levels of CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α – the major indictors of inflammation.
Out of control blood sugar leads to a problem’s like weight gain and fatigue.
A meta-analysis of 14 studies found that CoQ10 significantly reduces blood sugar (fasting and HbA1c) and insulin levels at doses of 200mg a day.
Your body uses antioxidants to combat free radicals. Free radicals are unstable particles that are created as a result of millions of chemical reactions in the body. They can cause oxidative stress and damage on a cellular level.
CoQ10 is shown to preserve muscle mass through its potent antioxidant power. Plus, low levels of CoQ10 are directly correlated to lower levels of muscle mass.
No organ or muscle uses more energy than the brain…so as you may guess CoQ10 is absolutely critical for proper cognitive function.
By slowing damage from foreign invaders, CoQ10 is proven to reduce destructive toxins in brain cells.
PROBLEM #1 Extremely Sensitive to Oxygen, Light, & Heat
If exposed to outside oxygen, heat, or light CoQ10 spoils like a glass of milk left out overnight …
PROBLEM #2 Difficult For The Body To Absorb
CoQ10 is extremely difficult for the body to absorb because it’s not able to cross the gut barrier. In fact, research shows less than 6% of regular CoQ10 makes it through the gastro-intestinal tract and into the blood.
PROBLEM #3 Too Big To Make It Into Cells
If…and that’s a big if… CoQ10 gets through the intestinal tract and into the blood stream… There’s still little chance it actually makes it into cells where it can work it’s magic.
You see, CoQ10 is a massive molecule. Trying to fit CoQ10 into cells is like trying to park a school bus in a one car garage… It just doesn’t work!
Since ordinary CoQ10 is poorly absorbed, it must be made into a form that can survive harsh heat and light exposure, penetrate through the gut barrier, all while being small enough to make it into the cells.
That’s why we created Ouro CoQ10.
Using patent-pending, 3 phase absorption technology, Ouro CoQ10 is clinically proven to increase levels of CoQ10 100% higher than ordinary CoQ10.
Even better, Ouro CoQ10 starts working after the very first dose…
Boosting CoQ10 levels in the blood as high 160% within just six hours!
Ouro CoQ10 comes in a special encapsulation that protects your precious CoQ10 and combines it with other ingredients like “D-Limonene” to make sure CoQ10 is successfully delivered to the cells.
