what is Coenzyme Q10?Coenzyme Q10 is a natural substance produced in the body, belonging to a family of compounds called quinines. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals. Co-enzyme Q10 is also called ubiquinone, a name that signifies its widespread (ubiquitous) distribution in the human body. As a coenzyme, this nutrient aids metabolic reactions, such as the complex process of transforming food into ATP, the energy the body runs on.
Virtually every cell in the body contains coenzyme Q10. The mitochondria, the area of cells where energy is produced, contain the most coenzyme Q10. The heart and the liver, because they contain the most mitochondria per cell, have the greatest amount of coenzyme Q10.
in what conditions is it supportive?Adult levels of supplementation are usually 30-90mg per day, although individuals with specific health conditions may supplement with the higher levels if advised by a nutritionally trained doctor. Taking coenzyme Q10 supplements with a little fat, such as olive oil of peanut butter, will improve absorption of this nutrient.
