CoQ10, also known as nature’s sparkplug, is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance made by our bodies. Once produced, it is then used in all our body cells, especially the heart and skeletal muscles. 

CoQ10 is found in meat, fish and nuts but the amount found in these dietary sources isn't enough to significantly increase CoQ10 levels in your body.

“CoQ10 levels deplete as you age and especially if you are taking statins, as statin medication can often inhibit the body’s natural production of CoQ10.” says medical Professor Martyn Caplin, BSc DM FRCP, head of the AltruVita Medical Advisory Panel.

As B vitamins are water soluble, levels are easily depleted in the body so it is really important to keep them topped up in the correct dosages each day. Our complex brings you 100% of what you need to keep energy levels boosted and support a healthy nervous system.

Our expert team has combined our previous CoQ10 supplement with B Vitamins as a powerful formula to help support energy to help put a spring back in your step! 

Our CoQ10 supplement + B Complex is also approved by the Vegetarian Society and is suitable for people following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
