| Biochemical/Physiological Action |
CoQ10 is synthesized in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and produces ATP through aerobic cellular respiration. CoQ10 is essential for optimal immune system function and cardiovascular health. Its anti-inflammatory properties are demonstrated by its ability to inhibit inflammatory gene expression. CoQ10 deficiency, which can occur due to genetic defects or aging, can manifest as suppressed immune function. |
