CoQ10 is also known as ubiquinone, and is a vitamin-like substance found in every cell in the human body and is responsible for extracting approximately 50% of the total energy from the food we eat. The highest concentrations of CoQ10 is in the heart muscle and liver, as they have the highest need and in those tissues that regenerate quickly like the gums. A lack of CoQ10 has been associated with gum disease and it has been shown that heart patients and the obese tend to have low levels of CoQ10.

Although CoQ10 can be made in the body, production declines as we age and a lack of energy in older people may, in part, be a result of that. It has also been shown that cholesterol lowering drugs, called statins, reduce Co-Q10 levels in the body, so people taking statins are increasingly recommended to take a Co-Q10 supplement.

Lamberts natural CoQ10 is dissolved in vegetable oil to aid absorption.
