Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – also known as ubiquinone – is a naturally occurring compound that serves a vital role in cellular energy production. It is found in every cell of the body with especially high levels in the heart, muscles and other tissues with high energy requirements. Additionally, CoQ10 is a powerful, fat-soluble antioxidant. Antioxidants help to protect our DNA and tissues from damage caused by oxidative stress and environmental toxins.
The best dietary sources of CoQ10 are oily fish, whole grains and organ meats, so vegetarians and vegans are more likely to be lacking in this micronutrient. Our CoQ10 levels also decline with age, leading to an increased risk of CoQ10 deficiency as we get older.Possible symptoms of low CoQ10 levels include:
Poor muscle tone
Involuntary muscle contractions
Progressive muscle stiffness
