Overview
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential coenzyme and antioxidant made in the body and present in almost every cell, especially in the mitochondria. It has a vital role in energy production, and in neutralizing oxidative stress, and repairing DNA damage from free radicals.*
But the body makes less COQ10 as we age (and when taking certain medications like statins). Mitochondrial energy production decreases as the body’s CoQ10 levels naturally deplete with age. Oxidative stress and free radical damage are also markers of aging.*
There are two forms of COQ10 naturally found in the body, ubiquinone and ubiquinol, which are converted back and forth, one into the other, as it is used and restored. Although some brands say that ubiquinol, the more expensive form, is more available for the body, there is no compelling evidence for that.
You can increase CoQ10 by taking supplements and foods with high content.
