Medicinal Benefits

Gritez-CQ 100 Softgel Capsule is a nutritional supplement. It contains DOCOSAHEXANOIC ACID, EICOSAPENTANOIC ACID, LYCOPENE, SELENIUM and UBIDECARENONE. It is used primarily to generate energy and stamina in the body and make it stronger, especially in the case of chronic diseases where the body tends to get bogged down. Gritez-CQ 100 Softgel Capsule promotes general well-being and health by improving muscle quality and stamina. Docosahexanoic acid and Eicosapentanoic acid are omega 3 fatty acids that significantly reduce inflammation and help decrease biological markers of infection, thereby relaxing the body in case of infection or disease. Lycopene and Selenium function primarily as an antioxidant (protect cells from the damage caused by free oxygen radicals). Lycopene also regulates cell growth, thereby being an effective anti-tumour/anti-inflammatory agent. Ubidecarenone, also called Coenzyme Q10, is a very useful antioxidant and aids the conversion of food into energy. It hence finds application in alleviating the damage caused by heart failure, preventing ageing, easing headaches due to stress and migraine, enhancing appearance, and improving the body’s exercise tolerance and immunity. Thus, Gritez-CQ 100 Softgel Capsule is an excellent boost for the body's overall well-being and energy levels.
