Coenzyme Q10 is also known as ubiquinone or ubidecarenone. It is a fat-soluble substance present in most eukaryotic cells and is primarily located in the mitochondria. It is a component that participates in the electron transport chain, aerobic cellular respiration, and energy production in the form of ATP. 95% of the human body's energy is created in this way.

Coenzyme Q10 has antioxidant action, as it acts as an energy carrier and is continuously transformed through redox reactions from ubiquinone (oxidized form) to ubiquinol (reduced form). Thus, coenzyme Q10 provides protection from oxidation to lipids, proteins, mitochondrial DNA, and LDL cholesterol. It also helps regenerate other antioxidant components, such as vitamin E.

Coenzyme Q10 appears to have a neuroprotective role and is used in large doses as a component that slows the progression of Parkinson's disease and motor neuron disease. It is also believed to help repair DNA in individuals with Down syndrome, protecting against neurodegeneration that leads to early-onset Alzheimer's-type dementia.

NOW's CoQ10 400 mg is enhanced with vitamin E and soy lecithin for greater antioxidant capacity. NOW uses the natural, 100% all-trans form of CoQ10, which is produced only through natural fermentation. This is considered to be the highest quality and most bioavailable form.
