Bio-SelenoQ10 is a product that was developed in the wake of the groundbreaking KiSel-10 clinical study 1, in which scientists documented a cardio-protective effect of supplementation with a combination of selenium and CoQ10. SelenoQ10® is the exact combination that was administered in the aforementioned clinical study published in The International Journal of Cardiology.
Bio-SelenoQ10 contains Pharma Nord’s original and documented CoQ10 formula combined with the unique and patented organic high-selenium yeast (SelenoPrecise®) – documented in over 40 published studies.
Both CoQ10 and selenium play a key role in cardiovascular health, and they work synergistically inside the body. Selenium compounds are essential to re-activate CoQ10 in the body.*
CoQ10 supports heart function and energy in cells. Selenium acts as an antioxidant protecting cells and blood lipids against potentially harmful free radicals.*
SelenoQ10® - The Original KiSel-10 Combination
Elderly people in good health may obtain positive and preventative benefits from combined Selenium and CoQ10 supplementation. A large Swedish Clinical Trial, named KiSel-101, showed how seniors can improve their quality of life and health through a 4-year-long trial. The study results were published in 2013 in The International Journal of Cardiology. 443 healthy seniors were divided into two groups. The experiment group was administered SelenoPrecise® and Bio-Quinone Active CoQ10, and the control group was administered placebos. After 4 years, researchers were able to show a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Bio-SelenoQ10 contains the original combination of SelenoPrecise® and Bio-Quinone Active CoQ10 alse referred to af SelenoQ10®.*
KiSel-10 is the official name for the study that was conducted in Sweden analyzing the effects of Selenium and CoQ10 supplementation on cardiovascular health. KiSel-10 is short for Kisa + Selenium + Q10. The scientists found the combination of selenium and Coenzyme Q10 to be particularly beneficial for elderly people in a small village called Kisa. The two active compounds used in this research project are Pharma Nord's Bio-Quinone CoQ10 and SelenoPrecise®.
Why you should take Bio-SelenoQ10
Bio-SelenoQ10 combines the patented, organic high-selenium yeast, SelenoPrecise®, with Bio-Quinone CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) in a special formula intended to provide the highest level of bio-availability. Selenium is important for all population groups, but elderly people may have increased need for this particular nutrient because selenium contributes to normal functioning of the immune system at the same time as it protects the body’s cells against oxidative stress.*
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that we get from certain foods, but we are also able to synthesise the substance in our bodies. Coenzyme Q10 occurs naturally inside the mitochondria in all our cells. It is inside the mitochondria that energy is produced. The body’s CoQ10 synthesis levels peak at the age of 20-25 years, and after that the production slows down as we grow older.

What is SelenoPrecise?
SelenoPrecise is a patented* selenium yeast containing selenomethionine and more than 30 different organic selenium species. It has been developed for the sake of emulating the diversity of selenium types found in a varied diet. For SelenoPrecise, we can document that 88.7% of the selenium content is absorbed in the body. This widely used selenium yeast is highly reproducible and therefore ideal for scientific research due to the need for a reliable and homogenous outcome. SelenoPrecise is documented in over 40 scientific studies (published).

The Coenzyme Q10 used in Bio-SelenoQ10
Pharma Nord has spent more than 25 years developing and optimizing Coenzyme Q10 for the sole purpose of producing a CoQ10 preparation that scientifically can document superior bio-availability and quality. A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that CoQ10 from Pharma Nord in which the CoQ10 is dissolved in vegetable oil and encapsulated in soft gelatin capsules away from light, gives a higher bio-availability than any other formulation. These targeted efforts are the reason why Pharma Nord's CoQ10 today is the most sold CoQ10-brand in Europe and is the CoQ10 preparation that is officially used in international CoQ10 research represented by the International Coenzyme Q10 Association (ICQA).
