CoQ10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is naturally produced in human bodies that is stored in the mitochondria of your cells and obtained from dietary sources. The mitochondria are in charge of producing energy. They also protect cells from oxidative damage and disease-causing bacteria or viruses.
Few antioxidants generally help reduce and prevent cell damage. CoQ10 plays an important role in energy production through chemical processes that generate adenosine-5-triphosphate (ATP).
Why Do People Take CoQ10?
Although CoQ10 plays an important key role in the human body, most healthy people have enough CoQ10 naturally. There is some evidence that adding more in the form of CoQ10 supplements may also be beneficial. Increasing age and some medical conditions are associated with dropping levels of CoQ10. But in these cases, it’s uncertain that adding CoQ10 will have an effect.
CoQ10 has been used to treat many different conditions. There’s evidence that CoQ10 supplements can lower blood pressure slightly. CoQ10 is also used to treat heart failure and other heart conditions, possibly helping to improve some symptoms and lessen future cardiac risks when combined with regular medications, but the evidence is conflicting.
