Coenzyme q10 Capsule

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, also known as coenzyme Q10) is a benzoquinone compound (similar in structure to vitamin K), which was first isolated from bovine heart mitochondria in 1957 by Frederick Crane in Wisconsin, USA. The identification and synthesis of the chemical structure was completed in 1958.

Coenzyme Q is a naturally occurring coenzyme that exists in tissues and cells of all species. It is mainly located in the inner membrane of mitochondria and is composed of a benzoquinone ring and a hydrophobic isoprenoid chain. The length of the side chain varies with species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mainly CoQ6). In human mitochondria, coenzyme Q mainly contains 10 isoprenyl groups, so it is named coenzyme Q10.

Coenzyme Q10 is an important intermediary role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, mainly involved in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides energy for muscle contraction and other important cellular functions, so it can affect all cells, especially those with high energy requirements, such as The heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas and adrenal glands are extremely important for health
