Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound that is found in every cell in the human body. It plays a crucial role in producing energy within cells and is also a powerful antioxidant.
The chemical formula for CoQ10 is C59H90O4. It has a molecular weight of 863.36 g/mol. The structure of CoQ10 consists of a benzoquinone ring attached to a long, hydrophobic tail made up of isoprene units.
Function: CoQ10 plays an essential role in the production of energy within cells. It is a key component of the electron transport chain, which is responsible for generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main energy currency of cells. Pure Coenzyme Q10 also acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
Application: Pure Coenzyme Q10 is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support heart health and boost energy levels. It is also used topically in skincare products to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
