CO-ENZYME Q10, L-CARNITINE, VITAMINE-E, L-ARGININE, LYCOPENE, MULTIVITAMIN & MINERALS
Background and Date of Approval
Co-Enzyme Q10, L-Carnitine, Vitamin E, L-Arginine, Lycopene, and Multivitamins & Minerals together constitute a nutraceutical formulation designed to support cardiovascular wellness, promote energy metabolism, and assist male fertility and overall antioxidant protection. These nutrients act synergistically to support mitochondrial activity, promote healthy blood circulation, and help minimize oxidative stress at the cellular level.
Co-Enzyme Q10 has been used since the 1970s as a nutritional supplement to support cardiac function and cellular energy production. L-Carnitine was introduced for clinical use in the 1980s to manage carnitine deficiency and is widely used for supporting energy levels and cardiovascular health. Vitamin E, a recognized antioxidant, has been approved by the FDA since the 1940s and is commonly used to help protect cells from oxidative damage. L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in nitric oxide production, vasodilation, and immune function. Lycopene, a potent antioxidant naturally present in tomatoes, has received increasing attention since the 1990s for its potential benefits in prostate health, cardiovascular health, and certain cancers. Multivitamins and minerals have been incorporated into clinical nutrition since the mid-20th century, providing essential nutrients for numerous metabolic and cellular processes that support overall health.
Although this fixed-dose combination is not specifically FDA-approved as a single formulation, it is commonly prescribed in India and other regions for cardiovascular support, male fertility, and metabolic health because of its complementary effects and generally favorable safety profile.
