As a cellular component, CoQ10 has two primary functions in the body; first, to act in the transfer ofelectrons as a necessary part of ATP production, and second, to function as an essential antioxidant. CoQ10participates in all energy processes in the body, and has been termed “the hub around which life processesrevolve in the human body.”3 It also plays a role in the cellular membrane, functioning in its stability, fluidity and permeability, in addition to stimulating cell growth and inhibiting cell death.4,5,6In the body there is no means for storage for CoQ10, thus it must be made or replenished on a daily basis.Its synthesis in the cell mitochondria involves a complex 17-step process, which is dependent upon atleast seven vitamin cofactors, including riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6, vitamin B12,pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folic acid, and vitamin C, along with several trace elements. In humans, thehighest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in the heart, liver, muscle, kidney and brain. CoQ10 is an organic, nonprotein molecule which is ubiquitous in the cellular matrix. The fact that it is ubiquitous initiated its primary designation, that of ubiquinone.Ubiquinone and ubiquinol, the reduced form of CoQ10, are known as redox pairs, meaning that in thecellular matrix they cycle back and forth. These two entities are rapidly inter-converted, regardless of theform ingested. Of importance to note is that the body naturally produces ubiquinone and not ubiquinol.Human studies utilizing ubiquinol are lacking, thus claims on its superiority are presently invalid. Conversely,CoQ10 or ubiquinone has been utilized in hundreds of clinical studies, which have demonstrated its benefits forcardiovascular health, as well as for numerous other health issues.

References: Based on a double blind clinical study, daily ingestion of 1 tablet (30 mg) of Biotics Research Corporation’semulsified CoQ10 for 4 weeks was demonstrated to increase plasma CoQ10 levels by 210%, equivalent to90-100 mg of dry CoQ10. Furthermore, dry CoQ10 powder increased serum levels in only 57% of subjects,while the Biotics Research Corporation emulsified CoQ10 produced an increase in serum CoQ10 levels in80% of the subjects.1,2 References: 1.
