Your pet's body requires cellular energy to properly function. Not only does this energy keep your pet alive and active, but it also promotes health in many ways you can't see.
It’s usually apparent when your pet has plenty of energy. He has a hearty appetite, is eager to play and seems content.
Energy levels are closely linked to overall health. So, naturally, younger animals tend to be full of vitality and generally enjoy a high level of health.
But what about when your pet reaches ‘middle age’ and beyond, and begins showing signs of less youthful vigor or less-than-optimal health?
As your pet ages, she may even still appear full of vigor on the outside, but that can sometimes be deceiving. It’s not always easy to know what’s happening on the inside.
The most important question to ask is this: How do you know she has the necessary energy to optimally support her heart, brain, immune system and so much more?
A Hidden Source of Energy for Your Pet
There's a coenzyme that works in your pet's body that helps make energy for just about every cell. And the healthy function of not only every cell, but also every tissue and organ depend on it.
Just like with your own body, your pet's body requires this essential coenzyme – Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short – to function properly.
CoQ10 is a compound produced naturally in the liver, but you’ll find it at work deep down in the mitochondria – the cell's powerhouse.
Cells use CoQ10 to support their overall energy and healthy growth. But certain cells especially need it and are more likely to suffer from a shortage.
Heart, liver and muscle tissue contain more mitochondria per cell than other body parts, and, therefore, contain the most CoQ10.
So, heart, liver and muscle cells require high levels of CoQ10 and so do other cells with a fast turnover, like mouth tissue cells, intestinal mucosal cells and immune system cells.
Coenzyme Q10 offers wide-range support in your pet's body, including:
- Contributing to healthy normal circulation.
- Supporting cardiovascular health.
- Maintaining healthy levels of oxygen in tissues.
- Supporting strong, healthy muscles.
- Promoting optimal immune function.
- Supporting healthy gums.
- Promoting optimal gastrointestinal health.
As a Potent Antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10 Fights Oxidative Stress and Cellular Aging
Another important role CoQ10 plays in your pet's body is that of an antioxidant, protecting cells, tissues and organs against oxidative stress.
Antioxidants fight damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. A certain amount of free radicals is always present, but when the number of free radicals increases, they can inflict a significant amount of damage.
Excess free radicals can change how genes express themselves and alter DNA. Plus, they can damage cell membranes, leading to oxidative stress and inflammation, which can contribute to cellular aging.
Stress, pollution and poor diet are just a few of the factors that increase the production of free radicals inside your pet’s body. So does normal, everyday cellular and metabolic activity.
Our pets already live way too short of lives. When you take steps to help control excess free radicals, you help your pet live the longest, healthiest life possible.
Your pet’s body needs abundant antioxidants to help combat all the everyday dietary and environmental stressors and to slow down the effects of excessive cellular aging – especially antioxidants that powerfully support the heart, liver, muscle and mouth tissues.
Antioxidants, including CoQ10, can potentially neutralize the effects of free radicals and help reduce or prevent some of the damage they cause. Plus, CoQ10 helps optimize the effectiveness of other antioxidants, too, like vitamin C.
Factors That Can Drain Your Pet's CoQ10 Levels
Just like with your own body, as your pet reaches middle age, his level of CoQ10 gradually diminishes. Your pet's ability to convert CoQ10 into its active form, ubiquinol, declines as well.
Certain conditions can affect your pet's ability to get enough ubiquinol, such as:
- Increased stress load on his body.
- Not enough CoQ10 in his diet.
- Greater metabolic demand from cells and tissues.
- A shortage of factors to convert CoQ10 into its active form, ubiquinol.
You may be wondering if your pet can get CoQ10 from her diet. Food sources of CoQ10 include oily fish like mackerel, salmon and sardines, organ meats and whole grains.
But here's the challenge...
Even if your pet were to consume a diet high in these sources every day, she would still be faced with her body's age-related decreased ability to convert CoQ10 into the active form, ubiquinol.
How to Help Boost Declining CoQ10 Levels
Because of absorption and conversion issues that come with age, simply adding more food sources of CoQ10 into your pet's diet may not help him get the ubiquinol levels he needs for optimal health.
Instead, I advise pet parents to offer their companions a quality ubiquinol supplement.
CoQ10 supplements come in two forms: ubiquinone and ubiquinol.
Ubiquinol is a reduced form of CoQ10 and is the form I recommend for dogs and cats.
Why?
- Studies show the reduced and non-oxidized form, ubiquinol, may be better absorbed than the non-reduced form, regular CoQ10 (ubiquinone).
- Ubiquinol is especially beneficial for supporting heart muscle.
- Your pet’s body can more easily – and more rapidly – absorb CoQ10 when it is in its active state, ubiquinol.
- Ubiquinol offers a strong first stage defense against oxygen free radicals to optimally fight the normal signs of aging caused by oxidative stress.
Bark & Whiskers® Ubiquinol Liquid Pump is a convenient way to provide your pet with the preferred, reduced form of CoQ10, ubiquinol.
Unlike many other CoQ10 supplements on the market, our non-synthetic formula is highly-absorbable and easy to use.
Who May Benefit Most From Ubiquinol?
Which pets can potentially benefit from Bark & Whiskers® Ubiquinol Liquid Pump?
- Any breed of cat or dog that might be at increased risk for cardiac issues or who could use additional cardiovascular support
- Large and giant breed puppies who might benefit from extra antioxidants like ubiquinol at an early age
- All cats and dogs, age seven and older, to help minimize oxidative stress and support optimal health
- Performance and athletic animals to support recovery from strenuous muscle use
All of these pets can likely benefit from a daily supplemental dose of Bark & Whiskers® Ubiquinol Liquid Pump to help increase their chances for a vibrantly healthy life.
While all cats are at risk of developing heart issues, some breeds are at higher risk. These breeds include the Ragdoll (and related breeds), Maine Coon, Sphynx and Rex.
Many dog breeds are at higher risk for cardiac issues.
Depending on the specific heart concern, smaller breeds (under 40 pounds) most at risk include the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel, English Bulldog, Fox Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Miniature and Toy Poodles, Pekingese, Pomeranian and Whippet.
Larger at-risk dogs include the Afghan Hound, Boxer, Dalmatian, Doberman Pinscher, Golden Retriever, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound, Newfoundland, Saint Bernard and Scottish Deerhound.
For optimal heart benefits, it’s important to start supplementing with Bark & Whiskers® Ubiquinol Liquid Pump as early in life as possible, especially with higher risk breeds.
