What substances is coenzyme Q10 extracted from?

Coenzyme Q10 is typically extracted from two main sources: one involves extracting ubiquinol from discarded tobacco leaves and then synthesizing coenzyme Q10. The other method, which is the safest and most advanced, uses microbial fermentation, often from pig heart, liver, or kidneys, to extract coenzyme Q10 from the fermentation broth. The extraction methods include microbial fermentation, chemical synthesis, cell culture, and bio-extraction.

Coenzyme Q10 acts as an energy protector for the heart, primarily providing power to prevent atherosclerosis and combat fatigue. It’s also a strong antioxidant that helps protect body cells from damage caused by free radicals, with no toxic side effects.
