Solgar Nutri-Nano CoQ10 With Alpha Lipoic Acid has been exclusively formulated with patent-pending Nutri-Nano technology to deliver unprecedented bioavailability. It is found in small small amounts in a variety of foods, the vast majority required for cellular energy production is made by the body. Q10 levels tend to decline with age and might also become sub-optimal during metabolic stress and disease. CoQ10 is particularly important for the cells of the heart muscle. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) has been described as an “ideal antioxidant”, because it is active against free radicals inside and outside of cells, as well as in aqueous and lipid environments. Studies indicate ALA protects cerebral, nerve and heart tissues from oxidative stress. ALA is also utilized in cellular energy metabolism. Solgar Nuitri Nano is a patent-pending nanotechnology that surrounds fat-soluble nutrients with a nano-sized water-soluble shell called a micelle. This process, which mimics the way fats are handled in the gut, enhances the absorption of theses nutrients by up to 300%.
