The essential nutrient Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a necessary component of cellular energy production. It is a
component of the mitochondrial electron transport system in cells, which supplies energy required for all physiological functions. CoQ10 is a core component of cellular energy production and respiration, shuttling electrons down the electron transport chain to produce the key energy-rich molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). CoQ10 provides support to all cells of the body and is especially supportive of tissues that require a lot of energy, such as the heart muscle, periodontal tissue and the cells of the body's natural defense system. By enhancing energy levels, and promoting cellular and tissue health, CoQ10 provides nutritional support for the cardiovascular system. Numerous clinical studies suggest that CoQ10 supports healthy blood flow and heart muscle function. In addition, CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant, providing cellular protection from free radicals, helps to maintain the integrity of vitamin E and promotes healthy lipid metabolism
