Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 / ˌ k oʊ k j uː ˈ t ɛ n /), also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring biochemical cofactor (coenzyme) and an antioxidant produced by the human body. [1] [2] [3] It can also be obtained from dietary sources, such as meat, fish, seed oils, vegetables, and dietary supplements.
The International Coenzyme Q10 Association is a nonprofit association originally based in Ancona, Italy and currently in Seville, Spain.Since its establishment in 1997, it has promoted biochemical and clinical research on the substance Coenzyme Q10 in an attempt to increase the body of knowledge about the preventive and therapeutic health effects of Coenzyme Q10.
A ubiquinol is an electron-rich (reduced) form of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone). The term most often refers to ubiquinol-10, with a 10-unit tail most commonly found in humans.. The natural ubiquinol form of coenzyme Q is 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-poly prenyl-1,4-benzoquinol, where the polyprenylated side-chain is 9-10 units long in mammals.

It is known that the ability of the human body to synthesize CoQ10 declines with age [10] and that it may therefore be necessary to supplement the diet of senior citizens with Q10. Alehagen et al. have reported on the results of the Kisel-10 study, a five-year prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial among Swedish citizens ...
Mitoquinone mesylate (MitoQ) is a synthetic analogue of coenzyme Q10 which has antioxidant effects. It was first developed in New Zealand in the late 1990s. [1] It ...
The purpose of the new institute was to increase the understanding of the importance of the substance Coenzyme Q10 to human health. [ 3 ] Folkers encouraged Judy to do, first, preclinical studies of Coenzyme Q10 absorption and bio-availability using live dogs, which were not put to sleep during the experiments and were not sacrificed after the ...
