Guide to Vitamin Q

Pharmacies stock a range of products that aim to supplement our bodies with vital nutrients to maintain good health. Coenzyme Q10, also known as "vitamin Q", is a commonly used component in supplements due to its ability to produce energy, protect cells and heart health, and act as an antioxidant. This vitamin-like substance is not actually a vitamin and can be found in natural foods available in supermarkets and markets. To help people benefit from this essential component, we have compiled a list of 9 delicious foods that contain coenzyme Q10 in abundance.  
 
Animal sources of vitamin Q 
 
1. Mackerel
Cold water fish, including salmon, tuna, herring, and mackerel, are the most beneficial animal sources of vitamin Q. The absorption of this component requires a fatty environment, which means that a significant amount of fat is needed to be absorbed by the body. These fish are highly effective in this regard due to their high-fat content, and the more fat a fish contains, the higher the levels of coenzyme Q10. Mackerel is an excellent source of this coenzyme due to its high-fat content, and a serving size of 100 grams of mackerel contains 6.75 mg of vitamin Q. 
 
2. Chicken  
Another great source of vitamin Q from animals is one of the most popular and loved foods in the world. One portion of chicken weighing about 100 grams contains 3.5 mg of the wonderful coenzyme. Also, if you are a regular consumer of it, we recommend that you prefer chicken thighs, because they are considered more satisfying and juicy than other parts of it (for example, the breast), They contain more zinc and are usually cheaper than most other parts.
3. Beef  
Beef is without a doubt one of the leaders in the list of foods rich in vitamin Q. A prominent example of this is sirloin, which is considered a particularly common part in many dishes located in the back of the cow, and about 100 grams of it contains 3.06 mg of vitamin Q. In addition, sirloin is characterized It has quite a few nutritional benefits and is considered rich in vitamin B, iron and zinc. Besides, it should be noted that beef may be saturated with fat, and therefore one should keep an eye on the amount of its consumption.  
 
Plant sources for vitamin Q 
 
4. Peanuts  
Not all foods containing vitamin Q are of animal origin, and you can definitely find particularly rich sources of the coenzyme in plants as well. One of these sources is the basis for delicious and well-known snacks and a particularly popular spread - and we are of course talking about the peanuts.
