- Coenzyme Q10 (Ubidecarenone) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance essential for cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) and antioxidant protection.
- Found in highly active tissues like the heart, skeletal muscle, immune system, and brain, CoQ10 is crucial for cell metabolism.
- With age, CoQ10 production declines, contributing to aging and degenerative diseases.
- Absorption of CoQ10 increases when taken with fatty foods.
- Metabolism & Excretion:
- Absorbed in the small intestine → processed by the liver → transported via lipoproteins in the bloodstream.
- Excreted mainly through bile and feces.
CoQ10 is beneficial in a variety of health conditions, including:
1. Infertility:
- Female infertility: Poor ovarian reserve, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Male infertility: Supports sperm health and motility
2. Neurological Disorders:
- Myopathy
- Ataxia
- Genetic Neuromuscular Diseases
- Migraine prevention
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Alzheimer’s Disease
3. Cardiovascular Diseases:
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Hypertension
- Angina
- Cardiomyopathy
- Heart protection during surgery
4. Other Conditions:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Diabetes
- Exercise performance enhancement
