Properties:

Mechanism of Action:Electron Transport Chain to Produce ATP: CoQ10, found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is the cofactor for at least three mitochondrial enzymes (complexes I, II and III) that play a vital role in oxidative phosphorylation. It functions as the only non-protein component of the electron transport chain (ETC) in addition to not being attached to a protein itself. This unique characteristic enables CoQ10 to move and transfer electrons between flavoproteins and cytochromes. Each pair of electrons processed by the ETC must first interact with CoQ10, which is considered the central rate-limiting constituent of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Therefore, CoQ10 plays an essential role in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or biological energy, production.
Dosage:recommendations for coenzyme Q-10 supplementation range from 100 mg per day to 3,000 mg (0.1 gram to 3 grams) per day or more, depending on the condition being treated,a list suggestions available at literature data pages.
