Support Heart Function and Cellular Energy Production

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble compound found in most human cells that is needed to assist in a number of important reactions in the body. CoQ10 plays a vital role in cellular energy production, generating energy in the cell’s powerhouses called mitochondria.† The highest concentrations of cell mitochondria are found in the hardest working cells in the body, such as the heart, making CoQ10 an important compound for heart function.
About CoQ10

CoQ10 is naturally orange and found in most cells in the body. CoQ10 helps support cellular energy production in the mitochondria – the powerhouses of most cells. The highest concentrations of cellular mitochondria are found in the hardest working cells in the body, such as the heart, making CoQ10 an important nutrient to help support heart function.

Moderate amounts of CoQ10 are found in foods, but the primary source of CoQ10 in the body is produced by the body itself. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and some cholesterol-lowering statin drugs can reduce CoQ10 production, which is why supplementing may be helpful to replenish CoQ10 levels in the body.

Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring substance made in our cells, but it is not technically classified as either a vitamin or a mineral. It is essential in the cellular energy production process, generating energy in the form of ATP.
