CoQ-10 is known to be antioxidant, membrane stabilizer, and is a cofactor in many metabolic pathways. The body normally produces CoQ-10, but additional amounts may be taken in from various foods, such as meats, seafood, and soy bean oil. The greatest benefit from CoQ-10 supplementation is seen in those individuals with the largest deficiency of this agent.
