Coenzyme Q 10 is normally associated with anti-ageing skin care products. It is an oil-soluble substance which demonstrates similar properties with vitamins. Coenzyme Q 10 naturally occurs in eukaryotic cells and is an important element of the electron transport chain.The compound has been subjected to more than 5,000 clinical studies and its role in fighting the adverse effect of oxidative stress. As a person grows older, the body’s production of coenzyme Q 10 decreases. This makes the body more susceptible to disease like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Taking a CoQ-10 supplement boosts the way your cells produce and use energy. It also helps your body burn fat, improves cholesterol ratios, boosts your physical energy levels and improves thyroid and pancreas functions. CoQ10 is fat-soluble. Take it with a bit of olive oil or fish oil. Or have your CoQ10 with a meal that includes fish, dairy, eggs or meat. The powdered form of CoQ10 is more difficult to absorb. Try either gel caps or tablets and take them with some kind of fat.
