Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone or CoQ10, is a vitamin-like substance present in most cells of the human body.
It has two main functions, firstly in the mitochondria, the organelle primarily responsible for energy production, and therefore plays a key role in the production of energy in the form of ATP. The other function it performs is antioxidant, neutralising the free radicals that cause premature ageing of body cells.
It is therefore the organs with the highest energy demands, such as the heart, liver, kidneys and brain, which have the highest concentrations of this substance.
Why is it so important?
Coenzyme Q10, as mentioned above, plays a fundamental role in obtaining energy as it is present in the cellular mitochondria, being an essential component in cellular respiration and the generation of energy in the form of ATP, and also in combating oxidative stress.
Given that 95% of the body’s energy is produced in the form of ATP, a deficit of this is associated with symptoms such as fatigue, muscle pain and weakness, depression of the immune system, increased risk of heart problems and neurological problems such as tremors, cognitive impairment…
With age, certain genetic defects or due to the consumption of certain drugs, the quantities in the body may decrease due to increased demand, decreased production or low consumption of chemical precursors necessary for synthesis.
Supplementation can therefore be important in preventing a decrease in the body’s levels and the onset of ailments.
Who can benefit?
This supplement may be especially beneficial for some population groups such as:
- People taking statins: some studies showed that supplementation with coenzyme Q10 reduces the likelihood of statin side effects such as muscle aches and weakness.
- People with heart problems: coenzyme Q10 may help improve heart function and reduce fatigue, studies suggest it may improve symptoms of congestive heart failure, improve recovery in people undergoing bypass surgery, valve surgery…
- People with chronic fatigue: they may benefit from improved energy levels and also benefit from the antioxidant properties.
- Athletes: these people have higher energy demands, so supplementation could improve endurance and muscle recovery by optimising mitochondrial function.
- Elderly people: as synthesis is impaired with age, supplementation can improve levels and may help to maintain energy naturally and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or prevent cognitive decline.
- Migraines: some studies suggest that it may help reduce episodes in people with migraines.
Nutralie Coenzyme Q10 Complex
Our supplement Q10 Complex, contains 5 active ingredients that will synergistically improve health:
- Coenzyme Q10: contains 200 mg of this very interesting active ingredient for its antioxidant action and also to maintain adequate energy levels.
- Vitamin E: fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant function, which will help its absorption and enhance its antioxidant activity.
- Vitamin C: powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
- Vitamin B2: involved in energy metabolism, promoting the metabolism of food and thus helping to produce ATP.
- Black pepper: improves the absorption of coenzyme Q10, as well as helping to reduce inflammation naturally.
Therefore, you only need to introduce one capsule a day into your routine before a meal that includes a fatty food, to promote absorption.
Coenzyme Q10 recharges your life with energy
Coenzyme Q10 is an essential support for those who wish to optimise their cellular health, maintaining adequate daily energy levels and preventing the deterioration associated with ageing, both people who may have more specific health problems and those who wish to look after their wellbeing in the long term.
