CoQ10 supports the immune system, cell regeneration, cardiovascular health. Should only be used once a week.

Improves hair and skin along with many other health properties. Contains omega-3 and other good fatty acids. While you can buy flax seed, they are not broken down by the body.

To get the full health benefits, you should supplement rats with a few drops of flax seed oil with food a day.
