Citrus Solu-Q, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a Caplique containing natural coenzyme Q10 in a patented, naturally self-assembling nano-colloid delivery system called VESIsorb for enhanced absorption.
Functions: Coenzyme Q10 is a fat soluble nutrient that is poorly soluble in water and is not well absorbed when taken orally. Coenzyme Q10 is an important rate-limiting nutrient that is a cofactor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the biochemical pathway in cellular respiration from which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and metabolic energy is derived. Since nearly all cellular activities are dependent upon energy, coenzyme Q10 is essential for the health of all human tissues and organs, especially the heart. Given the strength of the science that has been emerging for the use of supplemental CoQ10, it is important to ensure that optimal CoQ10 levels are achieved in the blood following supplementation. Citrus Solu-Q is unique among coenzyme Q10 products as it utilizes the patented VESIsorb technology to deliver coenzyme Q10. When mixed with an aqueous system, this patented technology results in the formation of a nano-colloid containing solubilized CoQ10. This association colloid delivery system contains a highly uniform distribution of droplets that are less than 100 nm in diameter. The size and structure of these droplets allow for enhanced solubility and absorption of coenzyme Q10.
