DESCRIPTION

Co-enzyme Q 10 is a co-factor on which depend some vitally important mitochondrial enzymes involved in the production of both ATP and therefore also energy. This affects every cell in the body. It is the most important electron donor and receiver in Krebs citric acid cycle, which is fundamental to all life forms. This makes it a vital molecule in oxidative phosphorylation. It is also the most important antioxidant inside mitochondria and plays a signficant role in situations of oxidative stress.
