Description

CART-Q Capsules Specification
Requires Prescription: NO
How It Works
Coenzyme Q10 plays a vital role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, aiding in the production of ATP (cellular energy) and acting as a potent antioxidant. L-Carnitine facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce energy. Together, they enhance energy metabolism, particularly in heart and muscle tissues.
