Coenzyme Q10 is a natural antioxidant that the body produces. However, with age, he makes it less and less. It is a very important antioxidant because it performs several functions in the body. In fact, your cells need CoQ10 produce energy3as it is used in the mitochondria or “powerhouse” of the cell.

Like other antioxidants, it neutralizes free radicals, but also protects against them lipid peroxidation4, the process by which free radicals damage skin cell membranes. In addition, coenzyme Q10 protects mitochondrial membranes and restores other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, which, as we discussed above, are equally important for skin health.
