Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a nutrient that occurs naturally in the body and obtained in the diet from meats, vegetable oils and certain fish (tuna, mackerel and salmon). Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant and helps protect our cells from damage and has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. It is also involved in metabolism and often sold for its energy-boosting properties, although there is little evidence to support this. It may also help lower blood pressure and help with certain heart conditions.
