Nutraceutics CoQ10

Coenzyme Q10 is one of those marvels of biochemistry that never ceases to amaze. A member of the family of compounds known as ubiquinones, coenzyme Q10 is found throughout the human body. It plays a vital role in energy metabolism and works to provide critical power to the cells that need it most: the heart, brain, kidneys and skeletal muscles. And, impressively, it is synthesized in all cells to produce important amino acids, and has potent antioxidant properties to protect cells from the damage of free radicals.

While there are currently no specific dietary intake recommendations for coenzyme Q10, many experts believe that the average American diet does not provide enough. Dietary supplements can play an important role in ensuring that your body has the coenzyme Q10 it needs to function at its most efficient level.
