In each of the trillions of cell, there are a energy generator plants known as mitochondria. Complex biochemistry reactions occur within mitochondria to change foods into chemical energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP).
ATP is a type of molecule which contains stored energy like a battery, needed by our cells to function smoothly. Q10 Coenzyme (CoQ10) is an important component in ATP production process and without CoQ10 no energy can be produced.
Although CoQ10 may be obtained naturally in many types of food like beef and vegetables, the amount of CoQ10 in the foods is very small. It is very hard to get more than five milligram (mg) of CoQ10 a day from our foods.
As such, CoQ10 supplement intake is recommended to supply optimum energy required by our body, especially by our heart. Traditional forms of CoQ10 supplements are such as CoQ10 powder suspended in soy oil sealed in soft gel, pills based on powder or hard gelatin capsule filled with powder.
