GlossaryCoenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

naturally occurring antioxidant aiding cellular energy production

Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10 or ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in the cells of the body. It plays a crucial role in the production of energy within mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, and is essential for the proper functioning of various organs and chemical reactions in the body. CoQ10 levels can decrease with age and certain medical conditions, and it is sometimes taken as a supplement to support heart health, improve energy levels, and reduce the effects of oxidative stress.
