Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is a substance made in the body. CoQ10's function in the body is to create adenosine-5-triphosphate, which will help muscle contraction and the process of making proteins.

    Protein

  2. Muscular Dystrophy

  3. Since one of the body processes that CoQ10 helps is muscle contraction, CoQ10 can make exercising easier for those with muscular dystrophy.
  4. Heart Disease

  5. Karl Folkers and Denton Cooley are two of many doctors who have found their patients with heart disease had a low amount of CoQ10, and their condition changed when the CoQ10 was replaced.
  6. Cholesterol
