Ever wonder what keeps us going? Life-sustaining force is produced within tiny cellular power generators, the amazing mitochondria. These little engines rely on coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 to create energy. Also known as ubiquinone, this vitamin-like molecule is found in nearly every cell.

In addition to its pivotal role in energy production, CoQ10 works double duty as a free radical fighting antioxidant, protecting our cells and even DNA from oxidative damage. CoQ10 comes from your body’s own internal production and diet. However, you can only find abundant CoQ10 in uncommon foods, such as organ meats, with much smaller amounts in everyday fare like beef, pork, and fish.
