Your body&#8217;s energy production relies on CoQ10. Your cells individually need\u00a0CoQ10\u00a0for growth and maintenance. Your skin needs CoQ10 for renewal of collagen, production of beneficial collagen types, and elastin. CoQ10 can protect against UV damage, reduce skin inflammation, improve skin elasticity, and brighten all skin tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levels of\u00a0CoQ10\u00a0in your body decrease by 1% per year after age 30. CoQ10\u00a0levels are deficient in people with certain conditions, such as heart disease, and in those who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins. CoQ10\u00a0is found in meat, fish and nuts. The amount of\u00a0CoQ10\u00a0found in these dietary sources, however, often isn&#8217;t enough to significantly increase\u00a0CoQ10\u00a0levels in your body. CoQ10\u00a0dietary supplements are available as capsules, chewable tablets, liquid syrups, wafers and by IV.\u00a0Because CoQ10 helps reduce the LDL cholesterol, blood flow to the skin improves, and thus CoQ10 indirectly helps many skin functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research on\u00a0CoQ10\u00a0use for specific conditions besides skin health and activities shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Heart conditions.<\/strong>&nbsp;CoQ10&nbsp;has been shown to improve symptoms of congestive heart failure.
