Abstract

Coenzyme Q₁₀, present in all cells and membranes, is essential for electron transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, antioxidant defence, and other functions of great importance for cellular metabolism. The essential advantages of CoQ₁₀, combined with its poor and slow absorption, generated the need to develop new technologies for delivery. Therefore, much effort has been expended to design delivery vehicles that can improve its aqueous solubility and overall bioavailability for oral and topical administration. This chapter summarizes the findings available today concerning CoQ₁₀ chemical characteristics, human functionalities, its impact on human diseases, and new techniques developed to enhance its delivery.
