Other plant-based products containing CoQ10 include walnuts, peanuts, soybeans, spinach, azuki beans, wheat germ and whole grains. A 1/2-cup serving of boiled, chopped broccoli contains 0.5 milligrams. Eating these foods raw provides the greatest amounts of coenzyme Q10, as heating changes the qualities of the enzyme.
Coenzyme Q10 (or CoQ10) is a natural chemical compound that we make in our bodies and consume in our diets, primarily from oily fish, organ meats such as liver, and whole grains. It resides in the energy-producing part of cells and is involved with producing a key molecule known as adenosine-5-triphosphate (or ATP).ATP is a cell's major energy source and it contributes to several important biological processes, such as the production of protein, and muscle contraction.oQ10 levels tend to be lower in people with a high cholesterol count, compared with healthy individuals of the same age. Whatâs more, certain cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins such as cerivastatin, atorvastatin, pravastatin simvastatin and lovastatin) seem to reduce the natural levels of CoQ10 in the body.
