What is coQ 10?

Answer 1

CoQ10 is a micro-nutrient, a vitamin-like substance that is present in every cell of the human body. The other name for it is ubiquinol which is derived from the word ubiquitous meaning "everywhere". CoQ10 is required by the body to produce energy and concentrations of it are found in the heart, brain and liver as these are the organs which require the most energy. The body is able to make CoQ10 up to the age of 25 or so. After that levels of CoQ10 begin to deplete. The older we are the less we have CoQ10. Not just aging, but intense physical exercise, or certain medications can also deplete the levels of CoQ10 in the body. Since it is difficult to get enough CoQ10 through diet alone, it is considered essential to supplement the diet with CoQ10 Supplements. Supplements that contain Ubiquinol, like CoQ10 Matrix, are the most bio-available form of CoQ10. CoQ10 supports energy levels, heart health, liver health and brain health. It also supports normal blood pressure levels, normal cholesterol levels and promotes immune functions.
