Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble nutrient found in almost all living cells. It plays an important role in energy metabolism, efficiently convert the energy in the food we eat into “fuel” for the body. As an antioxidant formula for free-radical scavenging, CoQ10 is good for cardiovascular health. Our body can produce enough CoQ10, but factors such as age, certain medical condition and statin usage will lower the production of CoQ10. Supplementation is the most effective way to increase the body’s CoQ10 levels. As a fat-soluble nutrient, however, CoQ10 is poorly absorbed. Supplying the body with beneficial amounts of CoQ10 can therefore be difficult.
