Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a major part of the body's mechanism for producing energy. The name of this supplement comes from the word ubiquitous, which means "found everywhere." Indeed, CoQ10 is found in every cell in the body. It plays a fundamental role in the mitochondria, the parts of the cell that produce energy from glucose and fatty acids.
Not getting enough of the right foods, aging, and using oral contraceptives and statin drugs can deplete your body of the all-important coenzyme Q10—leaving you without the energy to fight aging, heart problems, dementia, and cancer.
Fortunately, coenzyme Q10 can be created in all the tissues in the body which makes this the primary source of coenzyme Q10. But this complex process requires at least eight vitamins, several trace minerals, and the amino acid tyrosine. If the body does not get these critical nutrients from the diet, it will be unable to produce the amounts of coenzyme Q10 needed for optimal health.
