Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is very similar to a vitamin and can be found in every cell in your body.  It’s actually an important enzyme as your body makes CoQ10 and uses it for energy and cell growth and maintenance.  As we get older, the levels of CoQ10 produced in the body actually begins to fall so this means that the need for CoQ10 becomes even greater and as a result you need new ways to get it into your body.  This can be done by eating foods or supplements containing CoQ10, as there are a number of foods that contain it in small amounts.  While CoQ10 is an important enzyme in your body, just what exactly does it do and why should you ensure you get enough in your diet?
