Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like nutrient that helps support cellular energy production. Its scientific name, ubiquinone, comes from the word “ubiquitous” as it is found in every cell of the body. This is demonstrated by how it supports cardiovascular function and how it is also ideal to use by people who have cardiovascular disease, mitochondrial disorders, cognitive dysfunction, headaches, poor energy levels, or muscular ailments.
CoQ10 is one of the most important and modifiable factors in the production of ATP (cellular energy) in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction and CoQ10 deficiencies have been implicated in many conditions such as fatigue, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular problems, neurodegenerative diseases, and more. CoQ10 is also noted for its powerful antioxidant activity, as it “recharges” other antioxidants, keeping them active for longer.
Studies have shown that CoQ10 supplementation helps alleviate symptoms in heart patients, such as: fatigue, chest pain, dyspnea, and palpitations. Doctors have been recommending CoQ10 to patients taking cholesterol medication for decades, as they are known to reduce CoQ10 levels in the body. CoQ10 has also been shown to aid with exercise-induced fatigue and muscle damage
AOR’s PRO Coenzyme Q10 provides an effective dosage of ubiquinone in its simplest form.
