Coenzyme Q10 - BioPerine® - 120 softgels

High Absorption Co-Enzyme Q10 with Bioperine® by Doctor's Best

Coenzyme Q10, or ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance found in all cells of the human body. The name ubiquinon comes from the Latin word ubique, which means 'everywhere'. The body both produces coenzyme Q10 and gets it from food or supplementation. The main function of coenzyme Q10 is that of cofactor in energy production (ATP) inside the mitochondria, the energy factories of the cell. Coenzyme Q10 is also a potent antioxidant.

History

Coenzyme Q10, Q10 for short and also known as CoQ10 or ubiquinone-10, was discovered in 1957 by Professor Fred L. Crane and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Shortly after, the chemical structure was established by Professor Karl Folkers and associates at Merck. It was not until the 1980s that research on CoQ10 got off to a proper start. The main occasion for this was the fact that Japanese pharmacists had started producing this substance commercially. CoQ10 currently is the subject of over 3000 studies, which show a wide range of application areas.
