A Perfect 10


If you're tired or have gained weight, you could be missing your "Q." Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short, is found naturally in the body, and is the spark of energy for the entire body. After age 40, we don't produce as much CoQ10, which means everything slows down--our heart and brain are not as efficient and even our skin doesn't produce new cells as rapidly, making skin look older. Low levels can also lead to fatigue and weight gain. Recently, CoQ10 was shown to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease and may hold promise for other brain disorders. CoQ10 supplements are recommended for everyone over the age of 40 to strengthen the heart, protect the brain, and energize the entire body. Score a perfect 10 with Watkins E + CoQ10. It combines CoQ10 with all-natural vitamin E, selenium and hawthorn in a softgel that provides 273% greater absorption than a dry tablet, for exceptional benefits. As with all dietary supplements, consult your healthcare provider to make sure this supplement is right for you.
