Coenzyme Q10-Health Tips

There are many products on the market, including cosmetics, that protect CoQ-10, but what exactly is CoQ-10? What are its specific functions?

A: CoQ-10 is the abbreviation of Coenzyme, and we call it coenzyme Q10 in Chinese. It is a fat-soluble antioxidant. Coenzyme Q10 is one of the important elements indispensable to human life. It can activate the nutrition of human cells and cell energy. It has the functions of improving human immunity, enhancing anti-oxidation, delaying aging and enhancing human vitality. It is widely used in medicine for cardiovascular diseases. Coenzyme Q10 has two main functions in the body. One is that it plays an important role in the process of converting nutrients into energy in mitochondria, and the other is that it has obvious anti-lipid peroxidation effect. It is an energy converter in cell mitochondria. It participates in the "tricarboxylic acid cycle" by transferring and transmitting electrons to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), that is, energy factor for cell metabolism. At the age of 20, humans have the ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10 independently, and it is widely used in nutritional health products and food additives at home and abroad.

How does CoQ-10 delay aging?

A: Coenzyme Q10 reaches its peak and is maintained until about 50 years old. It will decline year by year in the future, because the mitochondrial DNA material of the cells that store coenzyme Q10 is damaged by oxygen free radicals, resulting in a decrease in the self-synthesis of coenzyme Q10. As a result, the metabolic function of human cells, especially heart cells, declines, and the "senility" is revealed. Clinical studies have shown that oral coenzyme Q10 has significant therapeutic effects on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases related to mitochondrial dysfunction and aging, such as Parkinson's syndrome, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Experiments on the relationship between aging and mitochondrial coenzyme Q10 concentration show that the decrease in mitochondrial coenzyme Q10 concentration is an important aspect of skeletal muscle aging. The decline in immune function with age is the result of free radicals and free radical reactions. Coenzyme Q10 is an effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger. The decline in immune function with age is the result of free radicals and free radical reactions. Coenzyme Q10, as a strong antioxidant, can inhibit the modification of free radicals on the microtubule system related to receptors on immune cells and cell differentiation and activity when used alone or in combination with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), thereby enhancing the immune system and delaying aging. The increase in wrinkles and skin aging are related to the Q10 content. The lower the content, the easier the skin ages and the more wrinkles on the face. Coenzyme Q10 can be taken orally. When the cells contain enough Q10, energy metabolism will be enhanced, free radicals will be removed, and wrinkles will be alleviated.

I saw some colleagues who work night shifts also taking CoQ-10. They said that coenzyme Q10 can resist fatigue and oxidation, is that right?

A: It is a natural antioxidant and cell metabolism initiator produced by the cells themselves. It has the functions of protecting and restoring the integrity of the biological membrane structure and stabilizing the membrane potential. It is a non-specific immune enhancer of the body, so it shows excellent anti-fatigue effect. Coenzyme Q10 keeps cells in a good and healthy state, so the body is full of vitality, vigorous energy, and full of brain power. The antioxidant coenzyme Q10 has been successfully used to prevent and treat chronic fatigue syndrome. The antioxidant property of coenzyme Q10 makes it have a certain inhibitory effect on the formation and development of atherosclerosis. Moreover, its antioxidant property has good effects such as membrane stability, metabolic cardiotonicity and reversal of left ventricular hypertrophy, and its application in cardiovascular disease is becoming more and more widespread.

My friend's father is taking CoQ-10 and says it has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on heart disease. Can you tell me specifically about the benefits of coenzyme CoQ-10 to organs?

A: Coenzyme Q-10 helps to provide sufficient oxygen to the myocardium and prevent sudden heart disease. In particular, coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in myocardial hypoxia.

Auxiliary drugs
Statins inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol and also inhibit the production of coenzyme Q10 in the body. Elderly patients are more likely to have insufficient coenzyme Q10 in their bodies. When using statins, coenzyme Q10 must be supplemented at the same time. It can quickly relieve myalgia and fatigue caused by statins and offset myalgia and liver damage associated with statins.

Enhance energy
Experiments have shown that coenzyme Q10 can greatly promote heart health, and the appropriate amount of coenzyme Q10 in the human body is necessary for proper muscle function. Hard physical exercise reduces the blood content of coenzyme Q10, and daily supplementation of 60mg has been found to improve the skills of athletes. Many overweight people have very low coenzyme Q10 levels, and supplementation can help them lose weight. This is because the role of coenzyme Q10 can accelerate the metabolism of fat, so that the limbs and brain are well supplied with energy and vigorous energy.
Studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 has anti-tumor effects and has a certain clinical effect on advanced metastatic cancer. It has significant effects in preventing coronary heart disease, relieving periodontitis, treating duodenal ulcers and gastric ulcers, enhancing human immunity and relieving angina pectoris.

Safety
Since coenzyme Q10 is an OTC product in the US and European markets, and there are many well-designed clinical trials showing that oral coenzyme Q10 is beneficial for a variety of cardiovascular diseases, based on its efficacy and safe and reliable characteristics, patients can tolerate it well even if they take large doses of coenzyme Q10 for a long time.
