🧬 What is Coenzyme Q10 — Ubiquinol/Ubiquinone?
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble compound naturally produced in the body, widely found in the mitochondria of cells. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, heart health, antioxidation, and anti-aging. Due to its unique bioactivity, CoQ10 has garnered extensive attention in the fields of medicine and nutrition.
🔬 Discovery Process
CoQ10 was first discovered in 1957 by Dr. Frederick Crane in the mitochondria of a cow's heart. While studying vitamins, he unexpectedly found this substance and named it “Coenzyme Q10”, as it was the tenth quinone-type compound discovered in living organisms.
Subsequent research revealed its pivotal role in energy production, acting as an electron and proton carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
🏭 Production Process
The production of CoQ10 has evolved from early chemical synthesis to the more advanced microbial fermentation method, which:
-
Uses specific microbial strains under controlled conditions
-
Produces CoQ10 through natural metabolic processes
-
Results in a purer, more bioactive product
-
Reduces environmental impact and cost
🧪 Composition
CoQ10, chemically known as
2-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone,
exists in two forms:
-
Ubiquinone (oxidized)
-
Ubiquinol (reduced, active form)
👉 In healthy adults, 95% or more of CoQ10 exists as ubiquinol, the main active antioxidant.
