' QIO is a substance which is present in most eukaryotic cells of living organisms, primarily in the mitochondria. - Coenzyme QIO (abbreviated as CoQ 10, CoQ, Q 10, or Q) is also known as ubiquinone, ubidecarenone or coenzyme Q. It is a benzoquinone, where Q refers to the quinone chemical group, and 10 refers to the isoprenyl chemical subunits.
Coenzyme Q10 is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as energy. Ninety-five percent of the human's body energy is generated in this way. Thus organs such as the heart and the liver,- which have the highest enejgy requirements, have the highest coenzyme QIO concentrations.
. i
The active form of coenzyme Q10 is its reduced form which is sometimes known as ubiquinol or CoQ¾. It is a potent antioxidant in this form. CoQ¾ has been shown to recharge its active, potent form. Healthy human Coenzyme Q levels are 93% CoQ¾ (reduced form) and 7% CoQlO (oxidized form). Substantially lower levels of CoQH2 (reduced form) is a slow as 40% in individuals with liver, brain, heart and kidney diseases. Due to its ability to transfer electrons and therefore to act as an antioxidant, Coenzyme Q is used in dietary supplements, medicines and cosmetics etc. It is a vitamin-like substance. Supplemental coenzyme Q10 raises serum and mitochondrial levels of coenzyme Q10, thereby supporting cellular respiration. It can thus support diverse human health systems, including the brain, heart, immune and periodontal systems.

Up to now, however, there have been. problems in producing reduced coenzyme Q10 on a commercial scale. Production of reduced coenzyme Q10 for use in health foods, beverages, cosmetics and drugs by using chemical reducing agents, chemical solvents, additives and protectants brings with it the risk of contamination of said products as well as the environment with hazardous or toxic chemicals. There is a risk that such dangers posed override the beneficial effects of coenzyme Q10. Another problem is the protection and stabilization of reduced coenzyme Q10 which is water-soluble.
