Product FAQ
What is Coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10 is often abbreviated to CoQ10 and referred to by chemists as
ubiquinone because it belongs to a class of compounds known as quinines and
because it is found in nearly every cell of the human body ~ it is
ubiquitos.CoQ10 is found naturally in the mitochondria, an energy creating
structure within cells. In the mitochondria, CoQ10 is involved in making a
substance called ATP which serves as the primary energy source for cells.
CoQ10 is also known to be an antioxidant that means it is able to neutralize
free radicals throughout the body. Free radicals occur throughout the body
and are known to be involved in the aging process as well as in disease
processes such as heart disease and cancer.
How do I get CoQ10?
CoQ10 is produced in the body naturally. However, it is sometimes not
produced in sufficient quantities throughout the body and the body is not
able to redistribute CoQ10 through the blood supply. The body's natural
CoQ10 supply can be supplemented with nutritional supplements or through
food. Meat and fish are the best sources of CoQ10 although the better
sources from these foods are organs such as lungs, heart, liver and kidneys;
foods many consumers choose not to eat.
Who may benefit from a CoQ10 supplement?
Older persons are likely candidates for CoQ10 supplementation because their
bodies have reduced natural production of CoQ10. Some people have a
nutritional deficiency and would also find CoQ10 supplementation helpful.
One group in particular is vegetarians because their diet will not typically
provide sufficient CoQ10 since it's found in such food as meat and fish.
