CoQ10 Datasheets
Co-Q10 is a catalyst for food metabolism working in conjunction with enzymes, thus the name "coenzyme". It is essential to energy production and necessary for the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It functions in the transfer of energy and oxygen between blood and body cells and also between cell components, in other words it is essential for the body’s cells, tissues and organs. Co-Q10 is found in the highest concentrations in cells of the heart, liver, kidney and pancreas. Co-Q10 works together with
vitamin E and may protect it from damage. Current research indicates that it may play an important role in prevention of various cardiovascular diseases. In addition, research is being conducted to determine whether Co-Q10 may be useful in supporting
healthy immune function.
