Ubiquinone

 
Description

Coenzyme Q₁₀, or ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like substance found in all plant and animal cells and is an essential part of the mitochondria -- an organelle found in all cells that carries out energy production. Here, it is involved in the synthesis of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which stores energy that is eventually used to power muscle contraction, protein and carbohydrate synthesis, and a number of other processes.

Coenzyme Q₁₀ is a powerful antioxidant. It increases tissue oxygenation, stimulates the immune system as well increases overall circulation, and protects the stomach lining and the duodenum (the initial portion of the small intestine).
