What is ubiquinone Q10?

Ubiquinone, also known as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is a naturally occurring compound found in the cells of the human body. It plays an important role in the electron transport chain in mitochondria, which are the energy-producing parts of cells. CoQ10 is necessary in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy source for cellular functions.

Coenzyme Q10 is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage. It is found in small amounts in various foods such as meat, fish and whole grains, and the body is also able to synthesize it to some extent.

Many people take CoQ10 supplements as they age or for specific health reasons. It is often used to support heart health, increase energy levels, and as a general antioxidant supplement.

Cellular energy production

Ubiquinone Q10 is an essential part of the electron transport chain that is responsible for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy source for cellular processes. Ubiquinone helps move electrons and protons in the cell's powerhouse, the mitochondria, which improves ATP production. Ubiquinone Q10 is therefore necessary for the proper functioning of the cells' energy producers, the mitochondria. By supporting mitochondrial health, ubiquinone Q10 can help improve cell function, especially in tissues with a lot of energy, such as the heart, liver and muscles.

Antioxidant and neuroprotective properties of ubiquinone

Ubiquinone Q10 acts as an antioxidant and protects cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It helps neutralize harmful compounds and prevents oxidative stress, which can affect various health problems and the aging process. Ubiquinone has shown potential neuroprotective effects, mainly due to its antioxidant properties and its ability to support mitochondrial function. Ubiquinone Q10 can help protect neurons from oxidative damage, reduce inflammation, and support overall brain health. Some studies suggest that ubiquinone supplementation may be helpful in treating or preventing neurodegenerative problems in the aging population.

Heart and blood circulation

Ubiquinone is found in high concentrations in heart cells, reflecting its importance for cardiovascular health. It helps maintain the energy needs of the heart muscle and promotes optimal heart function. Ubiquinone has been studied for its potential benefits in reducing the risk of heart disease, improving symptoms of heart failure, and lowering blood pressure.
