Ubiquinone, CoQlO

Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ, CoQlO, and ubiquinone, is found in the mitochondria of many organs, including the heart, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle. After ingestion, the reduced form of coenzyme Q10, ubiquinol, predominates in the systemic circulation. Coenzyme Q10 is a potent antioxidant and may have a role in maintaining healthy muscle function, although the clinical significance of this effect is unknown. Reduced serum levels have been reported in Parkinson s disease. 

Coenzyme QIO, or CoQlO, is a substance that occurs naturally in virtually all of our bodies tissues, especially in muscle tissue. It s so widespread throughout the body that another name for it is ubiquinone, referring to its ubiquitous nature. CoQlO regulates energy in muscle cells. As we age, the amount in our bodies declines. For that reason, it has been speculated that supplementation would improve energy levels. That claim hasn t been well substantiated, but there are other and better reasons to consider supplementation. 

The coenzyme QIO is a natural substance belonging to the family of 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-polyprenyl-l,4-benzoquinone, widely known as ubiquinone for its ubiquitous occurrence in animal and plant tissues. This coenzyme plays a pivotal biological role in the electron transport chain in both photosynthetic and respiratory processes. " CoQlO has a chnical effect in human congestive heart failure and hypertension. It also augments the compromised irmrnme system and prevents cardiotoxicity of some of the cancer drags. ...
