CoQ10

This naturally occurring, vitamin-like compound is present in almost every cell and is crucial for generating energy within the mitochondria, while also acting as a potent antioxidant. Its highest concentrations are found in organs with high energy demands like the heart and liver, though the body's production tends to decrease with age. While obtainable in small amounts from dietary sources like meat and fish, it is often taken as a supplement to support cellular energy and potentially benefit conditions related to heart health or aging.
