Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinol, is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble compound found in every cell of the human body. It is concentrated most heavily in organs with high energy demands, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. While the body synthesizes CoQ10 endogenously, production typically peaks in early adulthood and declines significantly with age. It exists in two forms: ubiquinone (the oxidized form) and ubiquinol (the reduced, active antioxidant form), which the body converts back and forth as needed to maintain cellular balance.
