Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10 or ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cells of our body. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and acts as an antioxidant.
CoQ10 is involved in the electron transport chain, which is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of cells to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary source of cellular energy. It helps convert food into energy that the body can use. CoQ10 is particularly abundant in organs that require a lot of energy, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Apart from its role in energy production, CoQ10 also acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and contribute to various chronic diseases, including heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and certain types of cancer.
While our body can produce CoQ10 naturally, its levels may decrease due to factors like aging, certain medical conditions, or the use of certain medications. In such cases, CoQ10 supplements may be recommended to maintain adequate levels.
Coenzyme Q10 is available in the form of dietary supplements, typically as capsules or softgels. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement to determine the appropriate dosage and ensure it is safe for you based on your individual health needs and existing medications.
