Co-Enzyme Q10 (co-Q-10) is a quinone derivative with a tail, the number 10 referring to the length of the tail. It is also known as ubiquinone because it is ubiquitous (found everywhere) in biological systems. Inside every cell of the body is a small energy factory where the calories in sugars and fats are turned into the fuel that we run on, called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Co-Q-10 is an essential part of that process and without it energy production cannot occur. Parts of the body that work the hardest such as the heart and liver, and events that require extra energy, such as infection, healing and sperm production, also call for greater concentrations.This substance is particularly popular in Japan where it is estimated that approximately 6 million people take a supplement daily.
Co-Q-10 plays a very important role at a very fundamental biochemical level as a carrier in a process known as the 'electron transport chain'. This process occurs within an area in the cell known as the mitochondria and is the method by which the body produces energy.
