Co-Enzyme Q10 + Lycopene Powder + Combination Tablets

Mechanism

• Co-Enzyme Q10: Functions in mitochondrial electron transport; enhances ATP production and cardiac energy.
• Lycopene: Potent antioxidant; neutralizes free radicals and protects cardiovascular tissues.
• Amino Acids: Support protein synthesis, muscle repair, and energy metabolism.

Pharmacokinetics

• Absorption: CoQ10 and Lycopene absorbed with dietary fat; amino acids absorbed via active transport in intestine.
• Distribution: CoQ10 concentrated in heart, liver, and kidneys; Lycopene distributed in adipose tissue; amino acids circulate to muscle and plasma.
• Metabolism: CoQ10 metabolized in liver; Lycopene metabolized to various carotenoid derivatives; amino acids undergo transamination.
• Excretion: CoQ10 via bile; Lycopene via feces; amino acids nitrogen excreted as urea.
• Half-life: CoQ10 ~33 hours; Lycopene ~12–24 hours; amino acids variable.

Side Effects

• Mild gastrointestinal upset
• Headache
• Fatigue (rare)

Contraindication

• Hypersensitivity to any component
• Severe hepatic impairment
• Pregnancy/lactation unless prescribed

Interaction

• Statins: May reduce endogenous CoQ10 levels; supplementation beneficial.
• Antihypertensives: CoQ10 may enhance blood pressure-lowering effect.
• Warfarin: Lycopene may increase bleeding risk.
• Levodopa: High protein intake may reduce absorption.

Warning and Precautions

• Monitor patients on anticoagulants for bleeding risk.
• Use with caution in hepatic impairment.
• Take with meals containing fat for better absorption.
