Coenzyme Q 10

A vitamin-like antioxidant crucial for cellular energy production, especially in the heart.
It is present in all cells. It assists in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the source of the body’s energy. It acts like a vitamin and safeguards the body as an antioxidant. It is of particular use for athletes who work hard for extended periods of time. The amount of CoQ10 decreases as age increases. Some have researched CoQ10 to determine whether or not it is useful for exercise, for the support of the heart, and for recovery. The outcome of these studies varies, but athletes take CoQ10 from their foods in order to make their mitochondria function normally, minimize fatigue, as well as enhance training for extended durations.
