Appearance: Coenzyme Q10 is a yellow to orange crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and soluble in fat.
Function: Coenzyme Q10 is a compound that is important for energy production in cells. It is a coenzyme that plays a key role in the electron transport chain, which is a series of biochemical reactions that generate energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). High quality coenzyme Q10 also functions as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Application: Coenzyme Q10 is commonly used as a dietary supplement, typically in the form of capsules or softgels. It is often recommended for individuals who have low levels of CoQ10, which can occur as a result of certain medical conditions or as a side effect of certain medications. High quality coenzyme Q10 is also sometimes used to support cardiovascular health, as well as to help improve exercise performance and reduce muscle damage.
Formulas: Coenzyme Q10 is often sold in capsule or softgel form, which makes it easier to swallow and to absorb in the body. The capsule or softgel may contain CoQ10 in a powder or oil form, or it may be combined with other ingredients that enhance its absorption, such as black pepper extract.
