Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a critical role in how the heart and other organs function. It is also one of the most powerful antioxidants known. Ubiquinone levels in the body vary with age Ubiquinone concentration is highest at the age of 20, when growth is fast and energy consumption is high. After that, the ubiquinone levels of the body start to decrease. At the age of 40, the ubiquinone levels have decreased by half, and at the age of 75 they are only one third compared to the levels of a 20-year-old.
