Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Powder

What is Coenzyme Q10 (Coq10)? Coenzyme Q10 (or CoQ10) is a quinone, a substance that aids in providing energy to cells in all oxygen-breathing organisms. Researchers first discovered CoQ10 in 1957, naming it ubiquinone - the quinone found in every cell of the body (ubi = everywhere). Ubiquinones are lipophilic, water-insoluble substances that deliver electrical charges to the mitochondria, or powerhouses of the cells, to produce energy and sustain life. CoQ10 plays an important role as the coenzyme for at least three mitochondrial enzymes (complexes I, II and III) as well as enzymes in other parts of the cell. Coenzyme Q10 is a pseudo vitamin that acts as a coenzyme in the body to facilitate a variety of critical functions. CoQ10 is crucial to synthesis adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the primary energy source for cells. ATP drives a number of biological
