Choosing the best CoQ10 supplement

January 26th, 2012

CoQ10, Coenzyme Q, Coenzyme Q10, Q10, ubiquinone, ubidecarenone—the list goes on. Coenzyme Q10 goes by quite a few different names, but each one represents the same supplement and to keep things simple we’ll stick with CoQ10 from here on out. CoQ10 is receiving praise in the nutrition industry at the same level as omega-3 fish oil and multivitamins. Basically, if you’re not taking it, you’re missing out on a lot of functional health benefits. CoQ10 is similar to fish oil in it’s ability to affect so many functions in the body such as energy production, heart health, blood pressure, brain function and more.
