Coenzyme Q10

summary

Coenzyme Q10 is a kind of fat soluble antioxidant, which can activate the nutrition of human cells and cell energy. It has the functions of improving human immunity, enhancing anti-oxidation, delaying aging and enhancing human vitality. It is widely used in cardiovascular diseases in medicine, and it is widely used in nutritional health products and food additives at home and abroad. But a thing has both effects and side effects. We should treat it dialectically. Let's understand it concretely.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 was discovered in 1957, which is called "the source of cell health". It is the power source of producing collagen, hyaluronic acid, cell tissue fluid and so on. It is because of the continuous generation of these substances that our skin is tender, white and moist. Our body itself is protected by a powerful biochemical enzyme, which can clean up "free radicals", minimize the potential harm and resist aging. They are collectively referred to as antioxidant enzymes, each of which is specific to a certain type of free radicals, and Q10 is one of them. The content of coenzyme Q10 in our skin's epidermal cells is more than 10 times that of dermal cells. However, because the content of coenzyme Q10 will decrease with age, ultraviolet or mental pressure will also reduce the content of coenzyme Q10 in the epidermis, which will weaken skin metabolism, reduce skin elasticity and moisture.

The role of coenzyme Q10 in protecting the heart Q10 is one of the greatest discoveries in the field of heart health care. It is also known as anti wrinkle repair factor. It is a self-synthesized coenzyme in the body. It exists in every cell of the human body. Its main function is to drive human cells to produce energy, especially to strengthen the heart function and alleviate hypoxia. Therefore, it is called "the source of heart vitality".

Side effects of coenzyme Q10 taking a high dose of coenzyme Q10 can cause slight side effects. However, these minor side effects can be avoided by reducing the dosage and increasing the daily frequency of taking. Another way to see the side effects of coenzyme Q10 is how coenzyme Q10 interacts with prescription drugs. We can look at it from two perspectives: first, we should consider how coenzyme Q10 affects our body when we take drugs; second, we should consider how drugs affect coenzyme Q10 levels in our body. The second angle is more important, because coenzyme Q10 is the basic element to produce cell energy. Coenzyme Q10 is very important for organs like the heart, which are heavily dependent on energy. With age, the body's ability to produce coenzyme Q10 decreases. If we further inhibit the production of coenzyme Q10, there is no doubt that it will greatly increase the risk of chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure.

matters needing attention

When the content of coenzyme Q10 in human body drops by 25%, many diseases will occur, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. What's more terrible is that when the content of coenzyme Q10 in human body drops by more than 75%, life will end. The human body lacks coenzyme Q10, and is usually prone to heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. So we usually don't start with enough coenzyme Q10.
