Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ or adelir, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ubiquinones. These are coenzyme Q derivatives containing a 5, 6-dimethoxy-3-methyl(1,4-benzoquinone) moiety to which an isoprenyl group is attached at ring position 2(or 6). Thus, coenzyme Q10 is considered to be a quinone lipid molecule. Coenzyme Q10 is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Coenzyme Q10 is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
