Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as Ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring fat-soluble quinone compound found in virtually all human cells, where it plays a critical role in mitochondrial electron transport and cellular energy (ATP) production. Commercial CoQ10 is produced by microbial fermentation using specially selected yeast strains and appears as a yellow to orange crystalline powder.
It functions as a powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant, protecting cell membranes and lipoproteins from oxidative damage. CoQ10 is one of the most popular dietary supplement ingredients globally, with applications in cardiovascular health, energy metabolism, and anti-aging products. It is also used in functional foods, cosmetic formulations, and pharmaceutical preparations for supporting heart health and cellular energy.
