Co Q10is a quinone, which is a substance that helps provide energy to cells in all oxygen-breathing organisms. Researchers first discovered coenzyme Q10 in 1957, and first named it ubiquinone, because it was a quinone that was found in every cell of the body (the prefix ubi means everywhere). Later studies showed that ubiquinone acts as a coenzyme in the body, without which the three enzymes that provide energy to the body cannot function.
Coenzyme Q10 can not only provide power to the heart, but also has excellent antioxidant, free radical scavenging function, can prevent blood vessel wall lipid peroxidation, prevent atherosclerosis, and without any toxic side effects.
Specific role can be expressed in the following four aspects:
1) help protect the heart coenzyme Q10 helps to provide adequate oxygen for the heart, prevent sudden heart disease, especially in the process of myocardial hypoxia coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in improving.
2) Protect the skin long-term use of coenzyme Q10 can effectively prevent skin aging, reduce facial wrinkles.
3) Anti-fatigue coenzyme Q10 keeps the cells in a good and healthy state, so that the body is full of vitality, energetic, abundant brain power. The biological activity of coenzyme Q10 mainly comes from the REDOX properties of its quinone rings and the physicochemical properties of its side chains. It is a natural antioxidant and cell metabolism starter produced by the cell itself. It can protect and restore the integrity of the biofilm structure and stabilize the membrane potential. It is a non-specific immune enhancer for the body.
4) Anti-cancer studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 has an anti-tumor effect and has certain clinical efficacy for advanced metastatic cancer.
