ubiquinol coq10 supplement coq10 coenzyme q10

Coenzyme Q10 (Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10), also known as Ubiquinone (UQ) and Coenzyme Q (CoQ), is a coenzyme present in all eukaryotic organisms that perform aerobic respiration. It is a benzoquinone fat-soluble compound with a structure similar to vitamin K. Q represents the quinone group, and 10 represents the number of isoprene attached to its tail. It is mainly formed in the inner membrane of mitochondria, and a small part can also be obtained through food, such as beef, eggs, oily fish, nuts, oranges, broccoli and other fruits and vegetables.

Coenzyme Q10 is widely distributed in the human body and exists in various organs, tissues, subcellular components and plasma, but its content varies greatly. The mass concentration is higher in tissues and organs such as the liver, heart, kidneys and pancreas. The main function is to drive human cells to produce energy. Coenzyme Q10 is mainly involved in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production process, regulates the cell redox environment, carries reduced electrons into the vesicle or out of the cell during the electron membrane penetration process, and participates in the formation of the proton gradient of the inner membrane and plasma membrane. It can accelerate cell renewal and stimulate cell activity, thereby greatly promoting the ability of cells to absorb nutrients. Adding coenzyme Q10 ingredients to skin care products can effectively help skin cells actively absorb other nutrients in skin care products, and has health-preserving effects such as accelerating metabolism and slowing down aging.

As a health product, coenzyme Q10 has the functions of protecting the heart, enhancing energy, and improving immunity. It is suitable for athletes, high-intensity mental workers, and the stabilization and recovery of patients with heart disease, diabetes, etc.
