Senior Q10 Sofcanis has properties that stimulate general metabolism, helping to mitigate the consequences of aging at the cognitive level and in the functioning of the heart muscle and kidney function, essential characteristics in geriatric supplementation. Vitamin E and selenium are antioxidants that help to reduce the formation of free radicals, thus reducing the acceleration of cellular aging.

The palatable tablets, Senior Q10 Sofcanis, due to their low content in Phosphorus, Potassium and Sodium, are compatible with the diets of animals with cardiac or renal failure.

Senior Q10 Sofcanis are also recommended in case of disorientation, physical asthenia, decreased resistance to exertion and/or decreased general tone.

The intake of these antioxidants in senior dogs aims to:

- maintain optimal brain functioning,
- increase life expectancy by helping to maintain immune defenses, the state of kidney and joint tissues and the proper functioning of the heart.

If the prevention of aging (although inevitable) is what is desired, Senior Q10 Sofcanis can help through an always favorable supplementary antioxidant activity after serious problems, in combination with the appropriate treatment.

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that facilitates the production of energy by mitochondria and plays an essential role in the proper functioning of heart tissue and in the maintenance of cognitive faculties. This coenzyme has a sparing effect on vitamin E use and synergizes its stimulating effect on immune function.

The essential action of vitamin E is to protect the phospholipids of cell membranes from peroxidation: it actively participates in the structure of the membrane, forming complexes that stabilize it and prevent very destructive chain reactions. It works synergistically with other antioxidant systems, including the enzymes glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase.

Selenium is needed by the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which removes peroxides.

Vitamin E and selenium deficiency leads to damage to the cell walls of muscle fibers and the membranes of intracellular organelles (including mitochondria).

Vitamin C, which regenerates vitamin E, is not stored in the body, hence the need for a daily intake.

Vitamin C protects cells by participating in the breakdown of oxygenated free radicals and preserves tissue vitamin E.

Arginine, regardless of its favorable activity on muscle tissue, prevents the decrease of coenzyme Q10 at the cardiac level.
