Conenzyme Q10 is a product that is a dietary supplement to food. Its action is aimed at strengthening the cardiovascular system, as well as protecting the body from the negative oxidation of free radicals.
The presence of coenzyme q10 is especially important in the body of people involved in active sports. Because it is responsible for producing energy and stimulating muscles during high physical activity.
With age, the production of this coenzyme decreases and its intake into the body is especially important at an older age. After all, it is produced 30% less than at a young age.
Taking this drug is very important to be at your best, full of energy and maintain your vitality at a high level!
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Contained in cellular mitochondria ( organelles that produce energy for the body), CoQ10, ( coenzyme Q10 - ubiquinone ), plays one of the leading roles in a number of chemical processes that provide energy production and oxygen delivery , and also takes part in ATP synthesis , the main process of energy production in a cage (95%).
According to Wikipedia and other publicly available sources, coenzyme Q10 has a beneficial effect on damaged tissues damaged during hypoxia (lack of oxygen), activates energy processes, and increases tolerance to excessive mental and physical stress.
As an antioxidant, it slows down aging (neutralizing free radicals, sacrificing its electrons). Ubiquinone also has a strengthening effect on the immune system and has healing properties for respiratory , heart diseases, allergies , and diseases of the oral cavity.
The human body normally produces coenzyme q10 when it receives all the necessary vitamins (B2, B3, B6, C), pantothenic and folic acids in sufficient quantities. Suppression of ubiquinone occurs when there is a deficiency of one or more of these components.
The human body's ability to produce this important compound decreases with age, starting from the age of 20, and therefore an external source of its supply is necessary.
It is important to remember that taking Coenzyme Q10 can have both benefits and harm if taken in large doses. One study showed that taking ubiquinone at a dose of 120 mg for 20 days led to disorders in muscle tissue , most likely due to increased levels of oxidation .
Sources of income
A significant portion of coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in body tissues, and a relatively small amount is supplied in food products. Most Ubiquinone is found in animal products, mainly meat and fish. After all, the muscles of animals, like humans, need large amounts of coenzyme. At the same time, there is not so much of it in plant foods.
