Description

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin like substance that is present in every human cell.  It acts as an antioxidant and is involved in key biochemical processes that produce energy. Q-10 is a substance all cells need to live. It is also called "ubiquinone," which is very fitting because it is literally ubiquitous (everywhere) in your body, as well as all living systems. It is one of the vital keys to the process that produces most of your cellular energy.

In recent years Co-Q10 has exploded into the expanding healthcare industry, attracting universal attention.  Coenzymes are cofactors upon which the comparatively large and complex enzymes depend for proper functioning. 
This particular coenzyme is the enzyme for at least three mitochondrial enzymes as well as enzymes in other parts of the cell.  The mitochondrial enzymes are essential for the production of the high energy phosphate (adenosine triphosphate), on which all cellular functions depend.

This potent antioxident is like a spark plug in your car’s engine for without the spark to ignite the fuel, the engine will not be able to run. Likewise, without it, your cells cannot produce the energy needed to live. Moreover, if your car has faulty spark plugs, it runs noisily and inefficiently. So, with insufficient Co-Q10, your body may not be able to function at peak performance. The body can obtain Co-Q10 from the diet.

Foods high in antioxident enzymes include all meats, vegetable oils, nuts, grains, and vegetables. These foods also contain shorter Co-Q molecules, containing less than 10 “isoprenoid” side chains. For instance, plants contain both 09 and 10 molecules. The liver is able to process and piece these chains together to form Co-Q10. Or, it can synthesize its own coenzyme from the amino acids tyrosine and mevalonate. Thus, this ingrediant is not technically a vitamin because the body can manufacture it. However, studies have shown that elderly, malnourished and chronically ill people have lower blood levels of this fat soluble vitamin like substance. Also, the use of Statin drugs may lower blood levels of Co-Q10. Supplementation with Co-Q10 raises and helps normalize low blood levels in people who are susceptible to low Co-Q10 levels. The amount of Co-Q10 found in foods is usually too low to adequately raise blood levels for those who are deficient.

HOW DOES CO-Q10 WORK? Within each cell are components called mitochondria, where energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced. In order for mitochondria to do their work, electrons must continually flow through them, ultimately reaching oxygen molecules. Coenzyme Q10 is a vital link in this electron flow. Without energy, the cell dies. With insufficient amounts of Co-Q10, the electron flow slows down, and the body is not properly oxygenated. Co-Q10 also functions as an ANTIOXIDANT by helping to decrease free radical activity. Free radicals are unstable molecules which can initiate destructive chain reactions in the body. Co-Q10, along with beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidant enzymes helps stabilize free radicals and prevents damage.
