CoQ10 is not a vitamin. It is a fat-soluble compound essential for the electron transport chain in your mitochondria — the machinery that produces approximately 95% of your body’s energy currency (ATP).
Your body produces CoQ10 naturally, but production peaks around age 20 and declines steadily. By 50, levels may be 25% lower than peak. By 70, potentially 50% lower. Statin medications further deplete CoQ10.
The heart (highest mitochondrial density), brain, liver and kidneys have the greatest CoQ10 demand. Supporting these high-energy organs becomes increasingly important with age.
CoQ10 is included in our formula for cellular energy support. It complements the antioxidant properties of Turmeric and ALA while providing direct mitochondrial support. Research supports its role in cardiovascular and cellular health.
