Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a coenzyme family that is ubiquitous in animals and most bacteria (hence the name ubiquinone). The best food sources of CoQ10 are meats (pork, beef and chicken) especially organs like heart, liver and kidney, fatty fish, some plants like spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, soybeans, lentils, peanuts, sesame seeds, pistachios, oranges and strawberries and of course oils. In humans, the most common form is coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone-10. The body produces less CoQ10 as we age, so CoQ10 supplementation can be a good idea.
How does Coenzyme Q10 work?
Researchers believe CoQ10 is able to improve the condition of patients with heart failure because it helps restore proper energy production and heart function while also protecting against oxidative damage. Coenzyme Q10 helps lower the blood presure and treat Parkinson’s disease. People, who regulary take Coenzyme Q10 supplement, experience fewer migraines. A study found that supplementing with CoQ10 can boost endurance in both trained and untrained people.
