There are no food sources for Coenzyme-A as a chemical
compound. Coenzyme-A is manufactured in the body's cell from three
components: adenosine triphosphate (ATP), cysteine, and pantothenic acid
(vitamin B-5). ATP and cysteine are product by synthesis, however, pantothenic
acid is an essential vitamin that the body does not produce. These components by
themselves have food resources and dietary supplements, but you must have an
equal amount of all three to produce CoA. At this time, Coenzyme-A is not commercially available in
the form of a one compound synthetic dietary supplement. Further, it is doubtful
that a compound of Coenzyme-A would be an effective dietary supplement because
the digestive process would break such a compound back down into its components
before it entered the bloodstream. Coenzyme-A is not manufactured during the
digestive process; it is manufactured in the cells of the body!
FYI:
Food sources for cysteine are poultry, wheat, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, eggs,
garlic, onions, red peppers. Food
sources for pantothenic acid are animal protein, raw fresh mushroom, and
broccoli.

The only nutraceutical product right now on the market believed that with a
balanced combination of the active components of CoA will enable the body to
make CoA in the body's cell more naturally.
