Q10 coenzyme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coenzyme Q10<\/strong> represents a fundamental element for the proper functioning of mitochondria, intracellular organelles<\/strong> that play a central role in the process of cellular respiration, through which they produce energy in the form of ATP.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coenzyme Q10, is most abundant in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas<\/strong>, is present in every cell of the body, not surprisingly, the scientific term by which it is indicated as ubiquinone, from the Latin ubi, meaning everywhere. It is also referred to as vitamin Q but, because it is synthesized by the body, it cannot be considered a true vitamin.<\/p>\n

Q10 levels become depleted with age and the use of certain medications<\/strong>. Each body requires different amounts of Q10 depending on health, age and lifestyle. CoQ10 is a natural antioxidant that activates cellular energy production.<\/strong> This function is particularly important for organs with high energy demands, such as the heart, liver and kidneys<\/strong>. CoQ10 concentration tends to decrease with aging resulting in a decrease in energy efficiency and antioxidant activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Low levels<\/strong> are also recorded in the presence of certain chronic conditions<\/strong>, such as those resulting from heart problems, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy,<\/strong> diabetes, cancer, AIDS and statin therapy.<\/strong> Lower Q10<\/strong> values were also found in athletes involved in endurance sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n
