Coenzyme Q10 is a compound made by the body and is stored in the mitochondria of cells. Every cell in the human body has Coenzyme Q10. It is a natural antioxidant that helps fight bacteria and free radicals and promotes cell growth and self-healing. The amount of CoQ10 in the human body is between 500-1,500mg and decreases with age. Therefore, this compound appears to be found less in older adults. The standard dose range for coenzyme Q10 supplements is 60-500 mg per day.
Other causes of CoQ10 deficiency include:
- Nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B6 deficiency
- Genetic defects in CoQ10 synthesis or utilization
- Illness leads to increased organizational demands
- Mitochondrial disease
- Oxidative stress caused by aging
- Side effects of statin therapy
Research has shown that CoQ10 plays several key roles in the human body.
- One of its main functions is to help cells produce energy. It is involved in the manufacture of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is involved in energy transfer within cells.
- Its other key role is to act as an antioxidant and protect cells from oxidative damage. Excessive free radicals can cause oxidative damage which can interfere with normal cellular function and lead to many health problems. Some chronic diseases are closely related to coenzyme Q10 deficiency.
Coenzyme Q10 is present in every cell in the human body. However, the highest concentrations are found in organs with the greatest energy demands, such as the heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver. At present, coenzyme Q10 is widely used in medicine for cardiovascular system diseases.
