Coenzyme Q10, or ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like substance which is made by our bodies. It can also be obtained from the diet, being found mainly in oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel as well as organ meats and peanuts. It is essential for the health of all human tissues and organs.
Supplementation of coenzyme Q10 becomes necessary when its synthesis is impaired through nutritional deficiency, when there is a genetic or acquired defect in synthesis or when there is increased tissue need due to a particular medical condition. These states all interfere with the coenzyme Q10 pathway - a pathway that results in physical energy.
Our ability to absorb or produce coenzyme Q10 deteriorates with age. The decline of coenzyme Q10 levels with time might be linked to the aging mechanism and therefore play a causative role in aging itself.
The heart has high energy requirements and also high concentrations of coenzyme Q10. Because natural stores drop with age, focus has turned to coenzyme Q10 as a cardiac nutrient. Levels of coenzyme Q10 have been found to be significantly lower in people with heart problems. It has been shown to enhance the pumping action and electrical functioning of the heart as well as lower blood pressure. This all helps improve heart function.
Coenzyme Q10 may inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol since it has some metabolic processes in common with cholesterol. It acts as an antioxidant which scavenges harmful free radicals, supports the function of vitamin E in the body and also helps recycle vitamin E. The antioxidant function of coenzyme Q10 may enhance its role in the prevention of heart disease and heart problems.
Coenzyme Q10 may help improve exercise tolerance by helping muscle cells use oxygen. It may therefore be of some use to athletes wanting to maximise their performance. Coenzyme Q10 also helps control the flow of oxygen within individual cells.
The optimal functioning of the immune system relies on a number of nutrients including coenzyme Q10.
