Shaklee CoQHeart® FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is CoQHeart?
A. Shaklee CoQHeart® is a coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplement that features Q-Trol, an all-natural proprietary blend of CoQ10 and resveratrol in a bioavailable softgel. CoQ10 helps produce energy in every cell of the body, especially in muscle cells of the heart. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 also helps protect arteries against the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). This is important as it helps promote the healthy function of blood vessels, including those that transport blood to the heart. This effect is complemented by resveratrol, a phytonutrient that has potent antioxidant activity. In laboratory studies, resveratrol also has been shown to promote blood vessel relaxation.* The more relaxed blood vessels are, the wider they open to promote healthy blood flow.
Q. Why is coenzyme Q10 important for heart health?
A. CoQ10 is found in every cell of the human body and is essential for producing energy, especially in the heart, the hardest-working muscle in the body. In addition to its role in energy production, it also acts as an antioxidant helping to protect arteries against the oxidation of LDL. This is important as it helps promote the healthy function of blood vessels, including those that transport blood to the heart.
Q. What is resveratrol?
A. Resveratrol is a compound with antioxidant properties and is found in red wine, red-grape skins, and purple grape juice. It is extracted from the root of an herb, Polygonum cuspidatum, traditionally used in Japan and China, and is considered to be one of the richest sources of resveratrol. Resveratrol has been shown in laboratory studies to help relax blood vessels.* The addition of resveratrol in the CoQHeart formulation complements the heart-health benefits of CoQ10.

Q. Who might benefit from taking CoQHeart?
A. Healthy adults 18 and older concerned about their heart function and artery health. Adult men and women taking certain medications that may lower CoQ10 levels in the blood also may benefit.
