Yes, our Co-Q10 product contains no animal byproducts.      

You should listen to your health care professional, however, cholesterol lowering medication has been shown to reduce levels of Co-Q10 in the body so it is important to monitor those levels and use supplementation as needed.

As scientific testing on alternative medicine becomes more prevelent, studies have been done to show efficacy of some products. The following link provides a number of scientifically-tested health benefits from Co-Q10 supplementation.

Please review the follow possible interactions:

CoQ10 may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Serum glucose levels may need to be monitored by a healthcare provider, and medication adjustments may be necessary. Caution is advised in people who have bleeding disorders or who are taking drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. CoQ10 may decrease blood pressure, and caution is advised in patients with low blood pressure or taking blood pressure medications. Elevations of liver enzymes have been reported rarely, and caution is advised in people with liver disease or taking medications that may harm the liver. CoQ10 may lower blood levels of cholesterol or triglycerides. Thyroid hormone levels may be altered based on one study.

The coenzyme is concentrated in the mitochondria - the 'power plants' of the cell - and plays a vital role in the production of chemical energy by participating in the production of adenosince triphosphate (ATP), the body's so-called energy currency.

A role beyond the mitochondria is also acknowledged, with CoQ10 acting as a potent antioxidant by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, which results in increased levels of nitric oxide and widening of the blood vessels (vasodilation).

We own and operate our own mineral mine where we harvest our Fulvic Trace Minerals. It is located in the South Central United States. We purchased this mine after our tests revealed that the minerals contained in the shale had a higher naturally occurring fulvic acid and mineral content than anything else on the market. Tracite™ is the trademarked name of this product. Fulvic acid has the ability to carry sixty times its own weight in nutrients into the cells of any biological system. When you combine these fulvic minerals with enzymes you get a delivery system second to none.  Digestive enzymes help the overall absorption of nutrients, as well as providing digestive aid. Most of our formulas contain this delivery system, so you get more for your money, and your health!
