Coenzyme Q10 is not a vitamin or a mineral. It is a fat-soluble compound that your body produces naturally and requires for the most fundamental process in cellular energy production. SodaPeak includes CoQ10 because of its central role in this process.
Inside your mitochondria, CoQ10 shuttles electrons between protein complexes in the electron transport chain. This chain is responsible for generating approximately 95% of your body’s ATP. Without adequate CoQ10, this chain operates less efficiently.
Your body’s natural CoQ10 production peaks around age 20 and declines steadily thereafter. By age 40, levels may be 30% lower than peak. By 60, potentially 50% lower. Statin medications further deplete CoQ10.
Your heart is the most metabolically active organ, beating roughly 100,000 times daily. It has the highest concentration of mitochondria and the greatest demand for CoQ10. This is why research consistently links CoQ10 to cardiovascular support.
