Coenzyme Q10 is an indispensable substance for the body, essential for the conversion of food energy into bioenergy. This fat-soluble substance is found in the mitochondria (the energy factories) of every cell in the human body. Coenzyme Q10 can be found in foods such as meat (e.g. turkey), fish, grains and nuts. However, the amount of Q10 in our diet has decreased, making it often no longer sufficient.
Q10 is widely distributed in our body, which is why it is also called ubiquinone (derived from the Latin word for 'present everywhere'). Ubiquinone is the biologically active and endogenous form of Q10 and plays a crucial role in the energy production of every cell. CoQ10, the most active form of ubiquinone, is efficiently absorbed by the body.

Copper is an essential chemical element and mineral that is required in small quantities for the well-being of organisms. As an essential trace element for humans, copper plays a vital role in various bodily functions. Because our body cannot produce copper itself, we depend on external sources for its supply. Although it is only needed in minimal quantities, its value is priceless. Copper is involved in the functioning of at least 16 enzymes and is therefore essential for maintaining a healthy body. Although most copper is found in the liver, it is also stored in the brain, heart, muscles, bones and kidneys, and is involved in the formation of red blood cells.

In the Netherlands, this fungus is also known as 'caterpillar killer', 'caterpillar fungus' or 'Chinese caterpillar killer'.
