Coenzyme Q10, also know as CoQ10, exists in the cells of the human body and is involved in the process that produces
cellular energy. As people get older, the amount of CoQ10 in the body may diminish. CoQ10 is naturally present in a variety
of foods, specifically organ meats and beef. You can replenish this important nutrient by adding CoQ10 to your daily regimen.
