CoQ10 or Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that is naturally found in every cell of our body. It is a natural antioxidant that fights off free radicals which contributes to the aging process. It also assists in producing needed energy in order to help the heart, kidneys and liver. However, CoQ10 depletes with age. If you have noticed your skin is young and glowing when you are in your 20’s that is because the CoQ10 in your body is in its peak. But once you’ve reached the age of 30, the level of CoQ10 in the body starts reducing.  Stress and other medication can also contribute in reducing CoQ10 in the body. That’s why CoQ10 supplements are recommended.
