CoQ10 in foods.
Here is a list of foods which contain high, moderate and low levels of antioxidants known as CoQ10. CoQ10 is essential for cellular energy and as antioxidants it promotes cell growth in our bodies and the elimination of free radicals which damage or body’s cells. The list includes meats, chicken and fish as well as vegetables, oils, eggs, nuts, beans and seeds.
Pork heart, reindeer meat and beef heart are the three foods with the highest amounts of CoQ10. Other meat products with coenzyme Q10 include pork, beef liver, beef, pork liver and ham; frying meats tends to reduce their coenzyme Q10 levels. Chicken has a moderate amount of coenzyme Q10; boiling chicken retains more CoQ10 in the meat than frying. Eggs have a small amount of CoQ10. Sardine, mackerel, cuttlefish, yellow tail, tuna, herring and pollock have moderate to high amounts of coenzyme Q10. Eel, trout and flatfish also contain a small amount of CoQ10. Several vegetables contain small to moderate amounts of coenzyme Q10, including spinach, broccoli, sweet potato, sweet pepper, garlic, peas, cauliflower and carrots. Soybeans, peanut, sesame seeds, pistachios, walnuts, azuki beans and hazelnuts contain moderate to high amounts of coenzyme Q10. Almonds and chestnuts have a small to moderate amount of CoQ10.
It is very important to realize that frying meats, chicken and fish will deplete the CoQ10 levels in the foods and the amount of CoQ10 will also vary depending on the freshness level of the foods, the degree to which the foods are processed and if they were generated with the use of GMOs and if they were tainted with pesticides or herbicides and therefore organic foods are recommended. The suspended gel single serving gel packet named HRT by the leader in health technology (Agel Enterprises) is all natural and contains 50mg of CoQ10 in each packet and also comes with taurine, policosanol, oyster mushroom, folate, selenium and l-carnitine for overall heart health.
