Smart Drugs and Supplements Magazine announced today that it has awarded its Best New Heart Health Supplement Award to New Zealand-based MitoQ for its breakthrough technology in cell health, affording demonstrated heart health and anti-aging benefits. Unlike other oxidative stress supplements, MitoQ’s proprietary CoQ10 molecule is unique in its ability to support anti-aging activity at the cellular level through the neutralization of damaging free radicals and oxidative stress. The award is based on information provided by third-party clinical studies and through the results of product research conducted by the magazine.
The Best Oxidative Stress Supplements for Optimal Heart Health: MitoQ Wins Award for 2023 is an original (SmartDrugs&Supplements) article.
CoQ10 is one of the most consumed oxidative stress supplements in the U.S., and the most recommended supplement by cardiologists. Growth in the United States continues to be served by statin messaging, and market revenue is expected to cross $1.15 billion by 2027. CoQ10 has also been gaining in popularity, especially among the elderly, and rising awareness of its heart health benefits continues to drive growth in developing areas such as China. Healthcare applications to promote heart health are expected to drive market statistics over the forecast period, increasing demand for MitoQ.
Coenzyme Q10 helps to make energy in the mitochondria — small structures in the cell that transform food and oxygen into chemical energy, fueling cellular health and regeneration. CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent damage to cell membranes and DNA caused by free radicals (highly reactive fragments of oxygen and nitrogen emitted by mitochondria in the process of creating biochemical energy). An excessive chronic amount of free radicals causes oxidative stress, which may lead to chronic diseases. Coenzyme Q10 is known to relieve oxidative stress and is currently being studied in the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
Low levels of free radicals aren’t bad; they can clear damage and fight infections. Early in life, mitochondria control excess free radicals in cells by producing natural antioxidants. But with age, CoQ10 and other antioxidants start to naturally decline, and uncontrolled free radicals can begin to overwhelm mitochondria. External cell stressors — solar UV rays, environmental pollution, smoking, excess alcohol, processed food, low-quality sleep, too little (or too much) exercise, and life stress — all erode the natural antioxidant defenses of mitochondria. Long-term, this oxidative stress can lead to a variety of health issues, including rapid aging, low energy, fatigue, brain fog, and slow recovery from exercise.
Many turn to CoQ10 and other supplements to combat oxidative stress, however, mitochondria have impermeable walls that common oxidative stress supplements, such as CoQ10, cannot effectively penetrate, rendering them less than optimally effective.
That’s where MitoQ’s pioneering cell health technology is a game-changer. This new and unique molecule, mitoquinol mesylate, is a very small and positively-charged advanced antioxidant that is electro-chemically attracted into the mitochondria – literally pulled inside. Clinically proven to absorb directly into the mitochondria, it allows for more efficient natural production of crucial molecules such as NAD and CoQ10 that mitochondria require to generate energy and protect cells. MitoQ cells are also more likely to replicate to form newer, healthier cells that. already benefit from the incorporated effects of MitoQ.
As an advance in CoQ10 technology, MitoQ can accumulate inside the mitochondria at levels hundreds of times higher than standard oxidative stress supplements, leading to speculation that MitoQ may replace CoQ10 supplementation.
The company’s all-around flagship product, award-winning MitoQ Pure, has been repeatedly shown to enhance energy levels and attention, and improves low-energy levels, joint health, athletic performance, healthy aging, and more. Customers report increased energy, alertness, better focus, deeper sleep, and numerous other health benefits.
In addition, heart health benefits of MitoQ are already apparent. A landmark clinical trial has shown that MitoQ decreases free radical production and significantly supports arterial function and the health of the aorta in older adults. Another study showed that MitoQ improves mitochondrial dysfunction in heart failure.
The scientific community has taken note of the product’s potential. Leading institutions around the world are currently studying MitoQ, with over 700 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 18 clinical trials completed to date, and over 60 patents attained. Additional independent studies exploring the benefits of MitoQ are also underway.
MitoQ will soon be available in a new heart health formulation. In addition to a full daily recommended dose of the MitoQ Pure formula, it also includes effective levels of heart health ingredients, including vitamin D3, magnesium and L-carnitine.
Magnesium is especially important in the heart’s blood vessels; magnesium deficiency can affect both blood vessels and heartbeat. Vitamin D3 is an essential micronutrient required for optimal cardiovascular function; vitamin D3 deficiency has been linked to multiple risk factors related to cardiovascular health. Supplementation with Vitamin D supports normal cardiovascular health, especially in people with restrictive diets. L-carnitine has been shown (alongside CoQ10) to help counter the effects that statins (a very commonly prescribed class of drugs in people with increased cardiovascular risk factors) have on heart muscle. MitoQ+heart has already been shown to deliver these effects.
In addition to MitoQ Pure and MitoQ+heart, the company has unveiled an array of products that blend its unique molecule with research-backed supplement ingredients, aimed toward more specific health issues. The firm offers MitoQ+joint, which supports joint health and helps to facilitate greater mobility. MitoQ also produces MitoQ+liver, MitoQ+eye and MitoQ+brain, all utilizing the firm’s innovative technology to support a broad spectrum of health challenges. MitoQ+heart is now available from the manufacturer and through e-commerce outlets.
