Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound that is found in every cell in the human body. It plays a crucial role in producing energy within cells and is also a powerful antioxidant.

  • Product Name Coenzyme Q10
  • INCI Name Ubiquinone
  • CAS NO. 303-98-0
  • Molecular Formula C39H90O4

Coenzyme Q, also known as ubiquinone and marketed as Coenzyme Q10 Powder, is a coenzyme family that is ubiquitous in animals and most bacteria (hence the name ubiquinone). In humans, the most common form is coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone-10.

Coenzyme Q10 Powder (CoQ10) is a substance that helps convert food into energy. CoQ10 is found in almost every cell in the body, and it is a powerful antioxidant.

Scientists believe free radicals contribute to the aging process, as well as a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants, such as CoQ10, can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.

Functions:

• Plays an essential role in the production of energy within cells

• Coenzyme Q10 is a key component of the electron transport chain, which is responsible for generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main energy currency of cells.

• Coenzyme Q10 also acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

 

Applications:

•Dietary supplement to support heart health and boost energy levels;

•Used in skincare products to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
