Coenzyme Q10 – instructions for use, indications, doses

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that is involved in energy production and is also an antioxidant. It helps against cardiovascular disease because it improves energy production in the heart muscle tissue, prevents the formation of blood clots and provides protection against damaging free radicals. This remedy is also taken for rejuvenation and increased energy.

Coenzyme Q10 is an effective remedy for hypertension, heart problems, chronic fatigue

Coenzyme Q10 is also called ubiquinone, which translates as “ubiquitous.” It was named so because this substance is present in every cell. Ubiquinone is produced in the human body, but its production declines with age, even in healthy people. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for aging. Find out how to treat hypertension, heart failure and chronic fatigue with this remedy. Read about skin creams containing CoQ10 that are available in the beauty industry.

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 .
