Why CoQ10 matters

CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is an essential molecule found in every cell of the body, where it plays a central role in energy production. As a key component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, CoQ10 is responsible for generating ATP—the primary fuel for cellular activity. Tissues with the highest energy demands, such as the heart, brain, and muscles, are especially reliant on healthy CoQ10 levels.

Natural CoQ10 production declines with age and may be further reduced by certain medications, including statins. Because dietary sources are limited and variable, supplementation offers a reliable way to help maintain optimal cellular energy and antioxidant capacity.

The formula, decoded

Coenzyme Q-10 (Ubiquinone)

Our CoQ10 delivers pure, bioavailable ubiquinone—the most thoroughly researched and stable form of CoQ10. Each capsule contains 200mg, a dose designed to support both everyday wellness and increased needs in adults experiencing age-related declines or medication-induced depletion.

CoQ10’s primary function is to drive the production of ATP, the universal energy currency of cells. By facilitating the transfer of electrons within mitochondria, CoQ10 enables the body to convert dietary nutrients into usable energy. The heart, with its constant demand for ATP, is particularly sensitive to CoQ10 status, as are skeletal muscles and the brain.

In addition to its core role in energy metabolism, CoQ10 acts as a powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress. This dual action—supporting energy and defending against free radicals—makes CoQ10 uniquely important for tissues under metabolic strain or increased oxidative burden.

Benefits of CoQ10 supplementation

Clinical research supports CoQ10’s role in several areas of human health:

  • Cardiovascular health:
    CoQ10 helps support healthy blood pressure, improve endothelial function, and maintain normal cardiac output. Supplementation can restore depleted levels, contributing to better heart function and exercise capacity, particularly in those with heart conditions or taking statin medications.
  • Statin-induced depletion:
    Statin medications, commonly prescribed to manage cholesterol, are known to lower the body’s natural CoQ10 production. Supplementation can help offset this effect and may reduce the risk of statin-associated muscle symptoms.
  • Physical performance and muscle recovery:
    Studies indicate that CoQ10 may improve exercise capacity, reduce fatigue, and support muscle function, especially in older adults or those with lower baseline levels.
  • Healthy aging and brain health:
    As a mitochondrial cofactor and antioxidant, CoQ10 supports brain health and may play a role in protecting against age-related cognitive decline.

The result

With daily use, CoQ10 helps replenish a critical nutrient for energy, resilience, and cellular protection. While results are often subtle, especially in healthy individuals, maintaining optimal CoQ10 status is a foundational step for heart health, physical performance, and long-term vitality.
