Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone): Mitochondrial Electron Carrier and Antioxidant
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble quinone that functions as an essential electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (complexes I–III). It is also a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant, protecting cell membranes and lipoproteins from oxidative damage. Endogenous CoQ10 synthesis declines with age, which has driven interest in supplementation.

Applications
CoQ10 is primarily used as a dietary supplement for cardiovascular health. Clinical evidence supports its use as an adjunct in heart failure management, where the Q-SYMBIO trial demonstrated reduced major adverse cardiovascular events. It is routinely recommended alongside statin therapy to mitigate statin-associated muscle symptoms, as statins inhibit the mevalonate pathway shared by CoQ10 biosynthesis. CoQ10 is formulated in softgel capsules, tablets, and liquid preparations, with solubilized/ubiquinol forms offering improved bioavailability. It is also used in cosmetic formulations as an anti-aging antioxidant ingredient.
