Coenzyme Q-10 is a naturally-occurring compound found in every cell in the body. Also known as ubiquinone, which comes from the word ubiquitous, meaning “found everywhere.” CoQ10 plays a key role in producing energy in the mitochondria, the part of a cell responsible for the production of energy in the form of ATP.
