Description
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has a critical role in cellular energy production and overall health. CoQ10 is vital for the mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells (1). Insufficient CoQ10 levels have been linked to various health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation, and oxidative stress (1). Testing helps identify deficiencies, enabling targeted supplementation to improve energy production and potentially alleviate symptoms. Moreover, CoQ10 acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage (1). Regular testing ensures optimal CoQ10 levels, promoting vitality, cardiovascular health, and potentially reducing the risk of age-related diseases.
