Cellular Energy Support with CoQ10

Vascure Natural Heart Health Formula is a combination regime of 100% all natural pharmaceutical grade supplements. This combination has been shown to help patients suffering from a medical condition known as Mitral Valve Prolapse as well as other heart related issues.

Mitochondria require each of the supplements to generate ATP. While CoQ10 and L-carnitine are fundamental to the ATP recycling process, D-ribose is necessary for de novo ATP synthesis. Metaphorically, D-ribose helps fill the body’s gas tank while L-carnitine and CoQ10 help the body convert fuel to energy. Literally, D-ribose is a structural component of the ATP molecule, and L-carnitine and CoQ10 help recycle ATP by transporting fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes and shuttling electrons back and forth between enzymes, respectively. Co-Q10 then acts as an antioxidant to protect mitochondrial membranes from free-radical damage. Like a spark plug central to both processes, magnesium“turns on” the enzymes that drive the entire metabolic reaction.

Lipoic Acid is considered to be among the elite, multipurpose antioxidants and has been variously called "the universal antioxidant" or the "ideal oxidant". You can think of lipoic acid as a kind of "wild card" antioxidant. Evidence shows that even if you are not getting enough vitamin C or E, for example, lipoic acid supplements can make up at least part of the deficit. Lipoic acid is considered a conditionally vital antioxidant nutrient. Specifically, the body makes some of its own lipoic acid, but we still need to get most of it form external sources, either from food, such as meat, or supplements. Our ability to make lipoic acid does decline with age.

The supplemental use of lipoic acid is expected to have huge impacts on health in the future. Almost any portion of the body can use increased levels of lipoic acid.
