CoQ10 is naturally
present in our cells,
where it is essential
for
cellular respiration
and energy production. |
However, our supplies become
depleted as we age, and
replacing them from food is
marginally practicable. As an
example, it would require two
gallons of chopped spinach daily
to provide 30 mgs of CoQ10.
Not only do we have less CoQ10
in our bodies as we age, but
since it is a potent
antioxidant, under conditions of
oxidative stress - for example,
pollution, smoking - available
supplies of CoQ10 are used first
to answer that need, and less of
it is therefore available to
supply the needs of the cell.
