Decaren 100 mg capsule

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone and ubidecarenone, is often described as a vitamin or at least a vitamin-likesubstance. However, it is not strictly a vitamin as it can be synthesised in the liver. CoQ10 is synthesised from the amino acidtyrosine (this synthesis in turn requires other vitamins and minerals) but is also absorbed from a wide variety of foods.There has been a proliferation of research results showing possible causes of deficiency. It is possible to evaluate these to tryand identify indications for supplementation in health and disease. Evidence of benefit from supplementation is harder to find.As with other vitamins and dietary supplements the strongest case for use can be made in conditions where deficiency isassociated with disease and where supplementation corrects or prevents the disease. It is more difficult to establish benefit inhealth maintenance and disease prevention.
