CoQ10 is an antioxidant used by cells to protect against free radical damage. CoQ10 is necessary for energy production by cell mitochondria. Every cell in the body that produces energy must have CoQ10 in order to function. CoQ10 is vital to the production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP. CoQ10 is produced by the body for the production of ATP. Without CoQ10, ATP cannot be produced. Cells that require the highest energy requirements will have the most ATP producing mitochondria and the highest CoQ10 requirements as CoQ10 is absolutely necessary for ATP production. Therefore, CoQ10 levels are essential in the high activity cells, such as heart muscle cells, brain cells, and in the immune system cells. CoQ10 is also referred to as Ubiquinone, because it is ubiquitous being found in every cell of the body and necessary for life itself. CoQ10 is a large fat soluble molecule that a form of it is believed to cross the blood brain barrier to provide for the energy producing demands of high activity brain cells.
Coenzyme Q10 acts as a powerful antioxidant, much like vitamin E and beta carotene helping to neutralize cell damaging molecules known as free radicals. An Antioxidant neutralizes free radical compounds which lead to oxidative damage to the body's cells. This oxidative damage contributes to the aging process of cells and the body.
CoQ10 is found in the diet, but in small amounts. It would be necessary to consume: one pound of sardines, two pounds of beef, or two and ½ pounds of peanuts to obtain 30 mg of CoQ10. CoQ10 has no known toxicity or side effects. CoQ10 is also synthesized in all tissues of healthy individuals.
Our bodies have the ability to regenerate CoQ10. CoQ10 is closely linked to Vitamin E and serves to regenerate the reduced (active) a-tocopherol form of Vitamin E. As we age, there is a significant reduction in CoQ10 levels. At this time CoQ10 is used primarily to promote an improved cardiovascular system. CoQ10 has been shown to promote improvements in:
- Congestive Heart
- Diastolic Dysfunction
- Ischemic Heart
- LDL Cholesterol Oxidation
- Hypertension
- Post Operative Cardiovascular Surgery
CoQ10 supplementation takes time to work. Increased levels of CoQ10 in the body are detectable within weeks and increases for about six months. As with any dietary change, involving the use of supplements, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor.
