Coenzyme Q-10 is naturally occurring throughout your entire body. Every cell in your body has what we call the mitochondria, or the factory, and the factory (in the cell) produces Coenzyme Q-10. However, Coenzyme Q-10 is also procured from animal products and some plant sources. Its primary purpose is it is an anti-oxidant by nature, but it is also absolutely essential for every metabolic function in the body. Without Coenzyme Q-10, none of the functions can occur. It helps to create, or catalyze, all of the metabolic functions, especially the production of energy.
