CoQ10: The Heart's Spark Plug

The heart beats over 100,000 times a day. Coenzyme Q10 provides the essential mitochondrial spark to keep it pumping strong as your dog ages.

Powering the Engine

The heart is the most energy-demanding organ in the body. CoQ10 is a critical component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria, responsible for generating 95% of cellular energy (ATP).

Why it matters:

  • Cardiovascular FunctionSupports healthy heart muscle contraction and circulation.
  • Mitochondrial EnergyDirectly facilitates the production of ATP fuel.
  • Antioxidant DefenseProtects cell membranes from oxidative stress and free radicals.

Clinical Evidence

Heart Failure Support

"Coenzyme Q10 supplementation has been shown to improve clinical signs and echocardiographic parameters in dogs with congestive heart failure."

J Vet Intern Med2010

Mitochondrial Function

"CoQ10 is essential for the bioenergetics of the heart, and deficiency is linked to cardiomyopathy and reduced cardiac output."
