CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age, but taking CoQ10 supplements can help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. SEDDS CoQ10 is made through an all-natural fermentation process and the unique Self Emulsified Drug Delivery System (SEDDS) technology. MTC Industries provides SEDDS CoQ10 in easy-to-swallow, finest-quality softgels produced from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
