Let’s Get to Know CoQ10!
CoQ10 was first discovered in 1957 and has been widely studied ever since. “Coenzyme Q10 may help you age healthily,” as Kate Ferguson once wrote.
CoQ10, also known as Coenzyme Q10, is a vitamin-like substance found in every cell of the body.
We are able to produce CoQ10 because it is an essential part of the mitochondria, the energy-producing units of our body’s cells.
It is found in the highest concentrations in the hardest-working tissues, such as the heart.
What does it do?
The main role of Coenzyme Q10 is energy production, and it can also function as an antioxidant.

Summary of Benefits

Where can we get CoQ10?
As mentioned earlier, our bodies can produce Coenzyme Q10 naturally, and it is believed that this accounts for more than half of our total requirement.
The rest comes from food sources such as meat and fish products, broccoli, cauliflower, legumes, spinach, and soybeans.
As we get older, CoQ10 supplementation is recommended because the body’s ability to produce it begins to decline.
How much CoQ10 do we need?
At present, there is no officially established Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for Coenzyme Q10.
For general supplementation to support cellular energy production, 75 mg once daily is recommended.
For healthy heart support, take 150 mg of Coenzyme Q10 daily.
