Introduction: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), otherwise known as ubiquinone is a structure with vitamin-like activity. It has been recognized for its anti-aging activities. CoQ10 is made in the body and occurs naturally in all cells, but as we get older its production falls. CoQ10 can be found also in food, especially meat, but in very small amounts as it gets destroyed by thermal processing. This is why it is very important to supplement oneself with Coenzyme Q10. It also helps prevent and treat various diseases and conditions. It is a proven treat for cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, Periodontal Disease, stomach ulcers and impotence. It also aids weight loss and improves aerobic performance. It is known to be an energy booster and immune system enhancer.
