CoQ10

Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone)

The Heart & Energy Molecule

CoQ10 is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell, with the highest concentrations in energy-demanding organs like the heart. It plays a dual role: essential for mitochondrial energy production and a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. CoQ10 levels decline with age, making supplementation increasingly important.

CoQ10 levels can decline by 50% with age
The heart contains the highest concentration of CoQ10
Essential for producing 95% of cellular energy
Also known as 'ubiquinone' because it's ubiquitous in cells

Key Benefits

Discover how CoQ10 supports your dog's health and longevity

Heart Health Support

Provides essential energy for the heart muscle, which beats over 100,000 times daily, supporting cardiovascular function and endurance.

Mitochondrial Energy

Critical component of the electron transport chain where ATP is produced, ensuring efficient cellular energy generation.

Antioxidant Protection

Neutralizes free radicals and protects cell membranes from oxidative damage, particularly in high-energy tissues.

Exercise Recovery

Supports muscle energy production and recovery, helping active dogs maintain stamina and bounce back after activity.

How It Works

CoQ10 sits in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it shuttles electrons in the electron transport chain—the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced. Without adequate CoQ10, this process becomes inefficient, leading to reduced energy and increased free radical production. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 also directly neutralizes free radicals, providing dual protection for cellular health.

Works Best With:

NMN (complementary mitochondrial support)
Resveratrol (cardiovascular health)
Vitamin E (antioxidant partner)

Dosage Information

Per Chew20 mg
Small Dogs (<25 lbs)20 mg (1 chew)
Medium Dogs (25-50 lbs)40 mg (2 chews)
Large Dogs (>50 lbs)60 mg (3 chews)

Timing: Best absorbed when taken with a meal containing fat

CoQ10 is fat-soluble. Our formula uses enhanced delivery for optimal absorption.

Safety Profile

CoQ10 has an excellent safety profile with decades of research and clinical use. It is naturally produced by the body and found in many foods. No significant adverse effects have been reported even at high doses. It may complement heart medications—consult your vet if your dog is on cardiac drugs.
