What is Coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10 acts as an antioxidant within cells, protecting our cell membranes from free radical damage.
The Nutrition Encyclopedia guide states:
It provides energy for the growth and maintenance of body cells and plays an important role in the process of cell energy production in the body.
Studies have shown that CoQ10 helps regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamin E, that contribute to heart and cardiovascular health.
Coenzyme Q10 can strengthen the heart function, replenish the heart’s constant supply of missing coQ10, thereby relieving its hypoxia. It is popular with people with heart problems, so it is called “the source of heart vitality”.
As a strong antioxidant, CoQ10 can enhance the ability of the immune system, which is the best natural barrier against various diseases, protecting the heart, liver, kidney and other important organs from bacteria and viruses.
The harm of Coenzyme Q10 deficiency
When the content of coQ10 is less than 60%, it may lead to palpidity, heart distress, fatigue and other symptoms;
Coenzyme Q10 content less than 40%, may lead to myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, coronary heart disease;
When the amount of coQ10 in the body drops by more than 75%, life will end.
The lack of coQ10 in the human body is usually prone to heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
As one of the important substances indispensable to life, the human body must timely supplement coenzyme Q10.
Why does the human body lack Coenzyme Q10?
1, dystrophia
Nutrition is not balanced, through the diet can not get enough coQ10
2, unsynthesizable
The physiological mechanism of coQ10 synthesis in the body is not normal, and enough CoQ10 cannot be synthesized
3, Physical subhealth
The health condition is not good, the consumption of coenzyme Q10 is faster than ordinary people, and the demand is large
4, Middle-aged and older people
For middle-aged and older people, only natural foods to supplement coQ10, can not meet the needs of the body
The role of Coenzyme Q10 in human body
(1) Enhance the body’s resistance
Coq10 can strengthen the body’s immune cells, making them more active and more resistant to disease. When immune cells gain more energy, they can more effectively protect the body and eliminate microbes, toxins and disease-causing mutated cells. Coq10 can also increase the number of immune cells, providing more comprehensive protection for the body.
(2) Human cells need energy
Human cells need energy to build and repair tissues, remove harmful and pathogenic cellular waste or toxins, defend against bacterial and viral infections, and regulate organ function. Coenzyme Q10 is the factor that promotes energy production, lack of coQ10, energy production in the body will slow down.
(3) Protect the heart
CoQ10 helps to provide adequate oxygen to the heart muscle and prevent sudden heart disease,
especially in the process of myocardial hypoxia CoQ10 plays a key role.
(4) Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant
It can prevent the oxidation of LDL “bad” cholesterol and keep the cholesterol in the body at a healthy level.
(5) Coenzyme Q10 can accelerate the metabolism of fat
Make the body and brain energy supply is abundant, energetic.
Coenzyme Q10 is so important in the human body, but unfortunately, coQ10 not continuously produced,
the content of coQ10 in the human body generally reaches its peak at the age of 25, and then gradually decreases rapidly with age, mainly because the aging of the human body leads to the decline of coQ10 synthesis ability, while the aging of cells leads to the increase of coQ10 consumption.
After the age of 40, the self-synthesized coenzyme Q10 can no longer meet the needs of maintaining human organ functions and resisting diseases.
Coq10 is especially reduced in organs with high oxygen consumption, such as the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Just want to supplement through food?
That’s how much you’re gonna eat in one meal
1 grain Coenzyme Q10 capsule ≈ 5 catties sardines ≈ 10 catties of beef
Suitable people: athletes, office workers, middle-aged and older people, poor immunity
Therefore, it is necessary to take it from the outside world in time to make up for the deficiency in the body.
