CoQ10

CoQ10 is a shortened name of Coenzyme Q10, a fat-soluble, vitamin-like nutrient naturally produced by the body. It plays a vital role in cellular energy production, particularly in the mitochondria, where it helps generate ATP–the energy currency of our cells. CoQ10 also acts as an effective antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. It’s especially concentrated in high-energy organs like the heart where it supports optimal function and vitality.

As we age, our natural production of CoQ10 declines, leading to reduced cellular energy and increased vulnerability to oxidative stress. This decline can affect overall wellness and energy levels. Additionally, commonly prescribed medications, used to lower cholesterol, have been shown to deplete CoQ10 in the body, which may contribute to side effects such as muscle aches and fatigue.

Supplementing with CoQ10 may help support antioxidant defenses and promote a healthy cardiovascular system and to reduce the frequency of migraine headaches and associated nausea and vomiting when taken preventatively.
