What is Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble substance that is produced naturally in the human body and is essential for the basic functioning of cells . It acts as a cofactor for mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, meaning it plays a crucial role in the mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of cells, helping to convert food into energy . In addition to its role in energy production, CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals.

The name "ubiquinone" reflects its ubiquitous presence throughout the body . It is particularly abundant in organs with high energy demands, such as the heart, kidneys, liver, and muscles.

While the body synthesizes CoQ10 naturally, its levels are known to decrease with age and can be lower in individuals with certain chronic diseases, such as heart conditions, Parkinson's disease, and diabetes . Certain medications, particularly cholesterol-lowering statins, can also lower CoQ10 levels in the body

Application of Coenzyme Q10

1.The brain is the most active organ in our body, and it needs high energy all the time. Coenzyme Q10 can provide oxygen and energy to help heart muscle cells and brain cells run.

2.Coenzyme Q10 is part of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Coenzyme Q10 transfers electrons generated during fat and glucose metabolism (complex1 and complex2). At the same time, coenzyme Q10 is an important factor for ATP production. Coenzyme Q10 helps to transfer protons (H+) from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, which can create a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. When protons flow back to the interior of the mitochondria, they are released of energy can be used to form ATP. In addition to its role in ATP synthesis, mitochondrial CoQ10 also mediates the oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate in the synthesis of new pyrimidines.

3.Coenzyme Q10 is present in cell and skin surface lipids (SSL), and is one of the components of the stratum corneum, which together with other substances acts as the outermost barrier of the skin.
