Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), sometimes called Ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring vitamin-like substance produced by the body.
It is found in the mitochondria of all cells in the body, but particularly in those of the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas.
Co-enzyme Q10 is produced in the body but the ability to synthesise CoQ10 reduces with age.
CoQ10 is needed for the process that converts the energy from food into energy that can be used by the body.
CoQ10 also works as an antioxidant, neutralising potentially damaging free radicals to stabilise cell membranes and protect both lipids (fats) and proteins. It also works to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E.
CoQ10 is also essential for the normal function of the heart muscle.
