- CoQ10 is an amazing nutrient found inside each cell. It works in the cell mitochondria to produce energy and act as an antioxidant. Research has shown it also has a unique effect on heart muscle cells. Supplementing CoQ10 produces more effective pumping function in the heart. Dog heart disease is called dilated cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by declining heart pumping capacity.

- "Two years ago I became a consultant for an equine products company and have since been evaluating the effectiveness of Coenzyme Q-10 in animals in conjunction with veterinarians and animal breeders/trainers. My studies have shown that the general effects of Coenzyme Q-10 in animals parallel what has been seen in humans for the past decade. The effect of Coenzyme Q-10 on cardiovascular functioning, periodontal (gum) disease, and the general energy level in cats and dogs submitted by several veterinarians participating in the survey verified this conclusion." -(http://www.doglogic.com/coq10arndt.htm) Eugene Wagner, Ph.D
