Background. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is made in the human body. CoQ10 is needed for basic cell function. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and may be low in people with cancer, certain genetic disorders, diabetes, heart conditions, HIV/AIDS, muscular dystrophies, and Parkinson's disease.Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.CoQ10 in the body can be increased by taking CoQ10 supplements.
