Coenzyme Q, also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in the cells of the body. It plays a crucial role in the production of energy within the mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells. Coenzyme Q helps convert nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy currency of the cell. In addition to its role in energy production, coenzyme Q also helps protect cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals. It is present in various foods, including meat, fish, and whole grains, and can also be taken as a dietary supplement to support overall health and energy levels.
