Coenzyme Q10 Maintain Heart Health

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble quinone compound found extensively within the mitochondria of human cells. It is a key coenzyme in the cellular respiratory chain, primarily involved in energy synthesis, helping to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy production.

Besides energy metabolism, CoQ10 is also a potent antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and protecting cell membranes and mitochondria from oxidative damage. The human body can synthesize small amounts of CoQ10, but this capacity decreases with age, necessitating supplementation through foods (such as organ meats, deep-sea fish, and nuts) or nutritional supplements.
