The CoQ10 is a lipophilic molecule belonging to the ubiquinone family which is widely found in vegetable and animal cells.
Although this is a molecule which synthesises in the body, scientific studies have shown that when taken orally, is absorbed and increases its concentration in a plasmatic level.
Animal studies have shown that with increasing age the concentration of CoQ10 levels decreases in tissues such as the heart and muscles.
Similar research carried out in people demonstrates the same steady decline with age.
It is particularly interesting to contrast CoQ10 concentration in grey and white brain tissue which diminishes from the age of 45, while in the case of myocardial tissue, the level begins to decrease from the age of 20 to 25.
