Coenzyme Q10 is also known as ubiquinone or ubidecarenone. It is a fat-soluble substance, present in most eukaryotic cells and located mainly in the mitochondria. It is a component involved in the electron transport chain, aerobic cellular respiration and energy production in the form of ATP.
95% of the human body's energy is generated this way. Coenzyme Q10 has an antioxidant effect, since it acts as an energy carrier and is continuously transformed through redox from ubiquinone (oxidized form) to ubiquinol (reduced form). Thus, coenzyme Q10 provides protection against oxidation in lipids, proteins, mitochondrial DNA and LDL cholesterol. It also helps regenerate other antioxidant components, such as vitamin E.
Coenzyme Q10 appears to have a neuroprotective role and is used in large doses as an ingredient that slows the progression of Parkinson's disease and motor neuron disease. It is also thought to help repair DNA in people with Down syndrome, protecting against the neurodegeneration that leads to early dementia like Alzheimer's.
NOW's CoQ10 100mg is fortified with Hawthorn Berry extract. Hawthorn Berry is being studied for its ability to increase endurance in patients with type II heart failure. The majority of research studies have shown improvement in clinical symptoms (eg, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath during exercise), increased performance and endurance.
NOW uses only the natural, 100% all-trans form of CoQ10, which is produced by natural fermentation. This is considered to be the highest quality and most bioavailable form.
