A llittle info about Co Q-10

What is CoQ10?

Other Names: Coenzyme Q10, Co Q10, Ubiquinone, Vitamin Q
CoQ10 is a naturally-occuring compound found in every cell in the body. CoQ10's alternate name, ubiquinone, comes from the word ubiquitous, which means "found everywhere."
CoQ10 plays a key role in producing energy in the mitochondria1, the part of a cell responsible for the production of energy in the form of ATP2. ( ATP makes your body go much like gasoline makes a car go.)
Why People Use CoQ10

  • Diabetes
  • Gum Disease
  • Kidney Failure
  • Migraine
  • Counteract Prescription Drug Effects
