Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like fat-soluble antioxidant found everywhere in our body; CoQ10 sparks energy in every cell, including our heart which is the largest consumer in our body. It acts as a potent free radical scavenger that protects fats, proteins and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative damage.

Our body gradually loses its ability to produce CoQ10 as we age; By the age of 40, our heart may be functioning with only about 68% of the CoQ10 we have at the age of 20. Cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) are also known to reduce CoQ10 levels. Hence, supplementing with CoQ10 is important for vitality and good health.
