Description
Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) Supplement contains the enzyme that is naturally found in all human cells and is an excellent antioxidant with free radical scavenging functions. The compound is known to reduce vascular wall lipid peroxidation. As we age, the natural levels within our cells of the coenzyme decrease and the levels may be further reduced when using products to lower cholesterol.
The biological activity of coenzyme Q10 mainly comes from the REDOX property of quinone ring and the physicochemical property of its side chain. CoQ10 is a natural antioxidant and cell metabolism promoter that is produced by cells themselves, and is a non-specific immune enhancer of the body. CoQ10 may provide protection for our skin, i.e. facial wrinkles.
Coenzyme Q10 also plays a role on heart health. Specifically by improving blood circulation, which means helping to supply a sufficient amount of oxygen to the myocardium and lowering adverse risk factors.
Function
People take coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) for a variety of reasons.
- Antioxidant. CoQ10 serves as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This antioxidant activity is vital for overall health and may contribute to the prevention of chronic conditions associated with oxidative stress.
- Energy. The coenzyme is a crucial component in the electron transport chain, a process that occurs in mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. It helps convert nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells.
- Mitochondria. Ubiquinol plays a vital role in maintaining mitochondrial function. As cells age or encounter stress, the levels decline. Supplementation could potentially support mitochondrial health and reduce the impact of aging on cellular function.
- Immune System. The antioxidant properties of ubiquinol may contribute to immune system health by neutralizing free radicals and supporting the body’s defense against infections and illnesses.
- Fatigue. Substances that are commonly used to lower the “bad” cholesterol, can deplete the coenzyme levels in the body, leading to muscle pain and weakness. Coenzyme may alleviate these side effects and support muscle function.
- Blood Pressure. Some studies indicate that CoQ10 supplementation may help lower blood pressure. It can improve endothelial function, which is crucial for maintaining healthy blood vessels and regulating blood pressure levels.
- Blood Glucose. A fair amount of research suggests that ubiquinol may have a role in managing blood glucose levels by improving hormone sensitivity and glycemic control. For instance, a meta analysis in 2018, suggested CoQ10 could improve the sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.
- Heart. Coenzyme Q10 is abundant in the heart muscle, and research suggests that it may support the cardiovascular system by enhancing circulation. A meta analysis of 7 studies found it can be beneficial especially for people for people unable to use other methods.
- Neuroprotective. Coenzyme Q10 supplement has shown promise in protecting the brain from oxidative damage and inflammation. The brain contains high amounts of fatty acid, while it also demands much oxygen, which makes it very susceptible to oxidative stress. Because of this CoQ10 is subject of interest in the prevention and management of neurodegenerative disorders.
- Reproduction. CoQ10 is present in high concentrations in the mitochondria of male reproductive cells, e.g. quality and motility. Correspondingly it may support female health by promoting a favorable environment for ova maturation.
- Cell Growth. Studies have shown the coenzyme may impede malignant cell growth through antinuclear antibodies (ANA).
