Coenzyme Q10 was first discovered in 1957. Until then, it is known as ubiquinone (by the term ubiquitous) as it is ubiquitous in nature.

Benefits:

• Can support cardiovascular health
• Demonstrates the ability to protect cell membranes from the destructive effects of free radicals
• Supports the immune system
• Possesses powerful antioxidant properties
• Demonstrate a tendency to promote good blood pressure
• Prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol
• Periodontitis, muscular dystrophy and obesity are associated with a deficiency of Co-Q10
• Necessary nutrient for energy production at the cellular level
  
  

Although it can be extracted easily from all plant and animal sources, it is not contained in optimum levels; therefore the supplementing is necessary. It is a catalyst for metabolism as it is acting in combination with enzymes, hence the name "coenzyme". Co-Q10 is particularly necessary for energy production and the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a multifunctional chemical compound necessary for maintaining healthy cells. Co-Q10 is involved in the transport of energy and oxygen between the blood, body cells and cell components; in other words, it is essential for all cells, tissues, and organs in the body.
