What is CoQ10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound found in every cell of the body. It’s used by the mitochondria (“power plants”) of cells to produce energy. CoQ10 is found in highest concentration in cells of organs that require large amounts of energy, such as the heart.

CoQ10 also functions as an important antioxidant.* Antioxidants help protect cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are harmful compounds generated in the body upon exposure to environmental influences such as UV sunlight and pollution. They’re also produced by normal body processes such as breathing and digestion. Free radicals attack healthy cells, damaging their membranes, DNA and other components.

CoQ10 levels decline over time, with a steady decrease beginning after age 30. Factors such as aging, genetics, and cholesterol-lowering statins can lead to a CoQ10 deficiency.
