More information on CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ 10) or ubiquinone is essentially a vitamin or vitamin-like substance. Co Q 10 is found naturally in foods and CoQ10 is also synthesized in all tissues and in healthy individuals normal levels are maintained both by CoQ10 intake and by the body's synthesis of CoQ10. It has no known toxicity or side effects. CoQ10, in its reduced form is a potent antioxidant.

CoQ10 is known to be highly concentrated in heart muscle cells due to the high energy requirements of this cell type.

Should I take CoQ10?

Because of its ability to transfer electrons and therefore act as an antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10 has become a valued dietary supplement. CoQ10 has been widely used for the treatment of heart disease and gum diseases, and there is also evidence that it may help boost performance and reduce feelings of tiredness in athletes. Young people are able to make enough Q10. The sick and elderly may not be able to make enough, thus Q10 becomes a vitamin later in life and in illness.

Coenzyme Q10 shares a common biosynthetic pathway with cholesterol. Statins can reduce serum levels of coenzyme Q10 by up to 40%. Some research suggests the logical option of supplementation with coenzyme Q10 as a routine adjunct to any treatment which may reduce endogenous production of coenzyme Q10, based on a balance of likely benefit against very small risk.

Co Q10 supplements may boost physical performance and reduce feelings of tiredness associated with exercise.
A recent study conducted in Japan has shown that CoQ10 supplements may boost physical performance and reduce feelings of tiredness associated with exercise. 18 elite Japanese kendo student athletes were randomly assigned  to receive daily supplements  CoQ10 (300 mg) or placebo for 20 days. The study was double-blind, meaning neither volunteers nor researchers knew who was receiving the active or placebo dose.
The volunteers had daily training sessions of five and a half hours per day for six days during the intervention period. At day three and five of the six day training period, the researchers report that both groups experienced increased in serum creatine kinase activity and the concentration of myoglobin, but these increases were significantly lower in the group receiving the CoQ10 supplements.
These results indicate that CoQ10 supplementation reduced exercise-induced muscular injury in athletes," concluded the researchers.

CoQ10 has properties similar to vitamins, but since it is naturally synthesized in the body it is not classed as such. It is also known as ubiquinone because of its 'ubiquitous' distribution throughout the human body.

The level of CoQ10 produced by the body begins to drop after the age of about 20, and the coenzyme is concentrated in the mitochondria - the 'power plants' of the cell. It plays a vital role in the production of chemical energy by participating in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's so-called 'energy currency'.

A role beyond the mitochondria is also acknowledged, with CoQ10 acting as a potent antioxidant. The coenzyme plays an important role in preserving levels of vitamin E and vitamin C.
