CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10
CoQ10 is a fat soluble antioxidant which plays an important role in the body. Normally the body can produce CoQ10 on its own, but it can also be consumed in food and supplement form. Like vitamin E, CoQ10 is especially helpful for supporting cardiovascular health. CoQ10 is utilized by the body's cells during cellular respiration in a process known as aerobic metabolism. In this process, CoQ10 is used for the production of ATP, or "cellular energy". It is for this reason that CoQ10 is thought to be useful in boosting low energy levels. CoQ10 can also stimulate the production of antibody's whose levels decline as we age. As CoQ10 levels decline with age, so does the body's production of ATP and certain immune system antibodies. The supplementation of CoQ10 later in life is the central for optimal body function.
