It plays a fundamental role in the mitochondria, the parts of the cell that produce energy from glucose and fatty acids.

It is generally used in addition to, rather than instead of standard therapies. CoQ10 therapy may be quite useful in slowing the progression of neurodgenerative problems. CoQ10 is also used in Heart Attack Recovery.CoQ10 has additionally been proposed as a treatment for a wide variety of other conditions, including, angina, cancer, HIV, male infertility, muscular dystrophy, and obesity, but there is, as yet, no evidence that it is effective.

Safety Issues CoQ10 appears to be extremely safe. No significant side effects have been found. |
