Coenzyme Q10 increases oxygen use at the cellular level, improves the function of heart-muscle cells, and boosts the capacity for aerobic exercise. The main problem with it is its bioavailability -- how much gets into your system and used. New softgel and emulsified forms are much better than other forms in this respect but still need to be taken with a meal that contains fat. Recommendation: 60 milligrams a day of CoQ10.
