CoEnzyme Q10 30 mg (Value Line)

History and Usage:

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble nutrient more commonly referred to as CoQ10. CoQ10 is found in the mitochondria, the portion of the cell responsible for energy production. It also stabilizes cell membranes and functions as an antioxidant. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals (natural by-products in the body), which left unchecked may cause damage to the body.

CoQ10 is a biologically active quinone found in every cell of the body. It is a cofactor in the electron transport chain, the biological pathway in cellular respiration from which ATP and most of the body’s energy are derived. It also aids circulation and stimulates the immune system.
