Beverage Platforms for AminoCarnitines™ and Coenzyme Q10: Nutrient
Role in Heart Disease and Diabetes
It is understood that impaired or lost mitochondrial activity
results in a deterioration of intracellular electron transport resulting
in diminished energy production. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and the carnitines
have been shown to facilitate the mobilization of lipids within
the cellular mitochondrion, thus reducing cellular mitochondrial
oxidative damage. Both carnitine and CoQ10 also play important roles
in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism.
