CoQ10 works with vitamin E as a potent free radical scavenger in cell membranes, as well as within blood vessels.* Years of scientific research have shown that CoQ10 helps to maintain a cardiovascular system and normal nervous system function.* NOW® CoQ10 is pharmaceutical grade. NOW CoQ10 products contain only the natural, all-trans form of CoQ10 produced by fermentation.
