Co-Enzyme Q10 (Ubidecarenone), CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like nutrient that helps produce energy in all cells of the body. It does so by supporting the mitochondria, the tiny power plants in each of the body’s cells. CoQ10 is one of the most important and modifiable factors in ATP (cellular energy) production in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction and CoQ10 deficiencies have been implicated in many conditions such as fatigue, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular problems, neurodegenerative diseases and more.
CoQ10 is also noted for its powerful antioxidant activity, and even “recharges” other antioxidants by keeping them in their reduced, active states. Doctors have been recommending CoQ10 to patients on standard heart medications for the last four decades, as statin medications are known to reduce CoQ10 levels in the body.
CoQ10 alternates between its three chemical forms: completely oxidized (oxCoQ10 or ubiquinone), a semi-oxidized intermediate free radical (semiquinone) and a completely reduced form (CoQ10H2 or ubiquinol). Most CoQ10 in circulation and tissues exists in its reduced form (ubiquinol) which acts as an antioxidant through its oxidation to an oxidized form (ubiquinone). Ubiquinone is reversely reduced to ubiquinol.

Ingredient Benefits
Supports cardiovascular health
Coenzyme Q10 helps reduce toxic effects of oxidation on the cardiac cells. Coenzyme Q10 has a key role in conducting heart muscle signaling and generating energy.
Maximizes cellular energy production and cell function
Coenzyme Q10 is naturally occurring in the human body. It is a cofactor for enzymes in the mitochondria that are vital for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), required for generating energy in the cell.
Powerful antioxidant
Coenzyme Q10 is a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from the damaging actions of free radicals that are produced as waste products during energy metabolism. Not only does it have antioxidant activity itself, but it also recharges other antioxidants to keep them active.
The aging and elderly would greatly benefit from adding coenzyme Q10 to their diet. Those dealing with cardiovascular issues or taking statin medications should speak to their doctor about supplementing with coenzyme Q10. Athletes or those dealing with fatigue would also benefit from coenzyme Q10 to boost energy levels.
