CoQ10 is a vitamin-like compound that is produced naturally in the human body and is also found in most living organisms.

CoQ10 plays an important role in your body’s energy production and is an essential component of the mitochondria, where it helps to metabolize fats and carbohydrates and maintain cell membrane flexibility.
