Although it is found throughout the body, CoQ10 is at its highest levels in the heart, kidneys and liver.
CoQ10 comes in two main forms: ubiquinone and ubiquinol. Ubiquinone is the oxidized version and ubiquinol is the reduced version. While the body converts these two forms back and forth as needed, both forms are necessary. However, ubiquinol is found in higher levels in the blood. Supplemental CoQ10 is more often found as ubiquinone.
CoQ10 naturally occurs in fatty fish like sardines and salmon, organ meats, and nuts and legumes. It is also found in lower levels in meat, some grains, dairy, oils, fruit and vegetables.
