Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenously synthesized coenzyme and plays an essential role in ATP synthetic pathway. In Europe and America, CoQ10 has been consumed as supplement for more than 10 years, and recently it was approved in Asian countries.

In hypertension, several clinical trials indicated that ingestion of 100-200 mg/day CoQ10 for 8-12 weeks significantly decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Endothelial dysfunction is a functional prestep in athero-sclerosis, and administration of CoQ10 showed improvement of endothelial dysfunction in the patient with manifest endothelial dysfunction.
