CoQ-10 exists in two chemical forms: oxidized (ubiquinone) and reduced (ubiquinol). Once oxidized, CoQ-10 (ubiquinone) is used in the body where it is transformed and converted to ubiquinol. Reduced CoQ-10 (ubiquinol) behaves in the same way, becoming ubiquinone when it performs its function in the body. As we age, our body produces less and less CoQ-10. This substance, similar to vitamins, can be found in various foods, but organ meats, such as the heart, liver and kidney, contain an especially high level. It is also found in beef, soybean oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts. Coenzyme Q-10 is produced in our bodies and participates in the production of energy. CoQ-10 is found in all cells of the body, but its levels are higher in the heart, skeletal muscle and other tissues with high energy demand.Solgar® CoQ-10 (Coenzyme Q-10) 200 mg Softgels provides ubiquinone in a daily dose of 1 softgel per day.
