CoQ10 plays a major role in the production of energy (ATP) and as an antioxidant to help protect the cell. CoQ10 gets converted from the ubiquinone form to the ubiquinol form, and functions as an antioxidant. Age, certain prescription medicines and health deficiencies reduce the body’s ability to manufacture ubiquinol from the ubiquinone form. Sub-optimal levels may reduce energy production and weaken the body’s immune and antioxidant defenses. Supplementation with CoQ10 in the reduced, more active Ubiquinol form supports the body’s antioxidant requirements to help combat free radicals, while helping it to maintain healthy ATP (energy) levels.†
