CoQ10 is also known as ubiquinone, and is a vitamin-like substance found within every cell in the human body where it plays an important role in the release of energy from the food we eat. Whilst CoQ10 can be made in the body, production declines as we age.
It has also been shown that a few medicines, reduce CoQ10 levels in the body, so people taking those medicines are increasingly recommended
to take a CoQ10 supplement.
