CoQ10 has antioxidant activity and helps support mitochondrial health. It is a coenzyme for numerous reactions involved in cellular respiration, and is required for the efficient formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cellular currency which drives the majority of enzymatic reactions. It inhibits peroxidation of cell membrane lipids as well as circulating lipoproteins.
CoQ10 helps maintain cardiovascular health by supporting healthy blood vessels, maintaining normal myocardial function, and supporting healthy blood pressure already within the normal range. CoQ10 may also help maintain normal blood flow, support male reproductive health, and maintain oral and gingival health.
