Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10/ yellow to orange crystalline powder/antioxidant, immune support (health function), heart health research, anti-fatigue

Product Description

Coenzyme Q10 (also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinone-10) is a fat-soluble quinone compound that occurs naturally in human cells. Its CAS number is 303-98-0, its molecular formula is C₅₉H₉₀O₄, and its molecular weight is 863.34. It is widely found in high-energy-consuming organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. It plays a key role in the mitochondria—the cell’s powerhouse—and possesses strong antioxidant properties. This product is a high-purity (≥98%, as determined by HPLC) yellow to orange crystalline powder produced via a microbial fermentation process. It offers consistent quality and is widely used in the development of raw materials for dietary supplements, cosmetics, and functional foods.

Key Benefits

The core functions of Coenzyme Q10 are manifested in two aspects: “energy supply” and “antioxidant protection.” Within cells, it serves as a key carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is directly involved in the synthesis of ATP, the cell’s energy currency, functioning as a vital link in the cell’s energy production process. At the same time, it is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps neutralize excess free radicals in the body and protects cells from oxidative damage. It is precisely because of these dual functions that Coenzyme Q10 has long been the focus of research and applications related to energy metabolism and anti-aging.

1. Cellular Energy Support: As a key carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, it directly participates in ATP synthesis, supporting cellular energy supply.

2. Antioxidant Protection: As a fat-soluble antioxidant, it helps neutralize free radicals and reduces oxidative stress-induced damage to cells.

3. Good Fat-Soluble Absorption: With a structure similar to that of vitamins, it has good compatibility in oil-based formulations and is suitable for the development of various dosage forms.

4. Versatility Across Multiple Fields: It is applicable in three major areas—dietary supplements, cosmetics, and food—with a mature and stable market demand.

Applications

Coenzyme Q10 is one of the most widely used health ingredients globally, with a mature market and stable demand. In China, it is one of the top-exported ingredients, widely used in dietary supplements, cosmetics, functional foods, and other sectors, and remains a perennial bestseller for many retailers.

1. Dietary supplement ingredient: Used in the production of energy-support and heart-health supplements in various dosage forms, such as capsules, softgels, and tablets.

2. Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in the formulation of anti-aging and antioxidant skincare products, such as serums and face creams.

3. Functional food ingredient: Used in the formulation of energy drinks, health foods, and other products.

4. Research reagent: Used in scientific experiments related to mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and other areas.

5. Reference standard: Can serve as a standard substance for the development of CoQ10 content testing methods and for quality control.
