  Coenzyme Q10 Information - CoQ10 Supplement - Ubiquinone
Coenzyme Q10 was first discovered in 1957 at the Enzyme Institute of the University of Wisconsin when Dr. Frederick Crane isolated the compound from a beef heart.
Chemically, Coenzyme Q10 is actually a two-part compound that is composed of (1) a long, fat-soluble isoprenoid tail that anchors the molecule in the inner membrane of the mitochondria and (2) a quinone that is capable of accepting and transferring electrons through a portion of the respiratory chain.
Coenzyme Q10 is recognized as a crucial component in the process in the mitochondria that converts the energy in carbohydrates and fatty acids into the fuel necessary to drive cellular machinery and synthesis in the body.2 In addition to the important process which provides energy, CoQ10 also stabilizes cell membranes and acts as an antioxidant.
