Your Frequently Asked Questions about Ultimate Nutrition Coenzyme Q10

Q: Why Does CoQ10 Have Antioxidant Properties?   Read...
A: During the energy production, free radicals are produced as a matter of course. Therefore, it is understandable that the nutrient bringing the fats into the mitochondria should be equipped with the ability to scavenge free radicals.

Q: What is the Daily Dose of CoQ10?   Read...
A: Numerous studies have shown that, as a nutritional supplement, a 30mg CoQ10 dosage is sufficient for people to observe beneficial effects. The dosage can be increased in consultation with the primary care physician.

Q: If CoQ10 "Burns" Food, Does it Help in Reducing Weight?   Read...
A: Yes, indeed! Coenzyme Q10 is an essential compound necessary for the transport and breakdown of fat into energy. Clinical studies have corroborated this contention.

This study suggests that overweight people may be deficient in CoQ10 and dietary supplementation with 100 mg daily may help lose weight along with a reasonable exercise regimen.

Q: What is CoQ10?   Read...
A: The human body consists of more than a trillion cells. Each of these cells has mitochondria, which produce energy. It is in mitochondria that the nutrients obtained from the foods are burned in the presence of the oxygen you breathe. In order to produce energy, mitochondria must have CoQ10, which assists several enzymes in this process.

Q: What is a Coenzyme?   Read...
A: The key functions of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in the human body is to provide support to enzymes and coenzymes. Enzymes are molecules that are involved in speeding up the chemical reactions necessary for human physiology. As such, enzymes function as catalysts. Coenzymes, on the other hand, are molecules that help the enzymes in their function as catalysts. Enzymes and coenzymes work to either join molecules together or split them apart by breaking the chemical bonds between them. Thus, CoQ10 supports numerous enzymes in the mitochondria to break down food and generate energy.
