Co-Enzyme Q10 is an antioxidant which also helps keep our cells functioning efficiently.

Co-Q10 is found in the blood and most importantly, in the mitochondria of our cells. Mitochondria are the 'batteries of the cell' as they are responsible for the generation of almost all energy produced by the cell. Not surprisingly, Co-Q10 is most abundant in the liver, heart and muscle tissue as these organs require large amounts of energy. The amount of Co-Q10 in the body has a direct effect on the body's ability to produce energy.

As the body ages, it loses the ability to assimilate, synthesise, and store sufficient Co-Q10 from the foods we eat. Past the age of 35 or 40 most of us can expect to develop a deficiency in Co-Q10.

Co-Q10 lowers blood pressure as it has the ability to relax arterial walls, allowing the blood to flow more easily. Co-Q10 is also an immune booster, it appears to boost the effect of the immune cells already present rather increase production of new immune cells.

It may enhance athletic performance by increasing the muscle's ability to generate energy and shortening recovering time for damaged muscle tissue. Co-Enzyme Q10 can promote healthy weight loss by increasing the body's overall metabolic rate.
