Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is found naturally in your body. It is particularly concentrated in the mitochondria—the energy-producing factories in each of your cells. In fact, the mitochondria provide 90 percent of the energy that fuels cellular activity and keeps us alive.

Our levels of CoQ10 drop naturally with age, declining steadily after age 40. Fortunately, you can replenish these levels by taking supplemental CoQ10. While everyone may benefit from taking a CoQ10 supplement, it is especially important for people interested in cardiovascular health, and for those who take cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, which can further deplete your body’s CoQ10 stores. The amount of CoQ10 consumed from foods is typically less than 10 mg.

Because the heart muscle uses more energy than any other tissue and normally has the highest concentration of CoQ10, it is very sensitive to insufficient levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 is vital for energy production in the heart, regulating normal blood pressure, circulatory blood flow, and maintaining a strong heartbeat. Research has found that cholesterol-lowering drugs interfere with CoQ10 production.
