How Astaxanthin + Coenzyme Q10 works
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, a natural pigment found in certain plants and animals. This powerful antioxidant neutralizes harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage. It specifically shields cell membranes from lipid peroxidation, a process that can impair cell function and contribute to ageing and disease.
Coenzyme Q10, often referred to as CoQ10, is essential for energy production in cells, particularly in the mitochondria, which are the cell's powerhouses. Like astaxanthin, CoQ10 also functions as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage that can lead to ageing and various health issues.
