What is CoQ10 100 mg UBIQUINONE from Pure Nutrition?
CoQ10 (short for Coenzyme Q10) is an essential element for many daily functions and is required by every single cell in the body. As an antioxidant that protects cells from the effects of aging, CoQ10 has been used in medical practices for decades, particularly to treat heart problems.
Although the body creates coenzyme Q10, it doesn't always do so consistently. A lack of CoQ10, or CoQ10 deficiency, is most often associated with the harmful effects of oxidative stress (also called free radical damage).
CoQ10 deficiency is now believed to be linked to conditions such as cognitive decline, diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia, heart disease, and muscle conditions.
In fact, CoQ10's antioxidant capacity is what makes it one of the most popular anti-aging supplements in the world.
CoQ10 is present in the human body with the highest levels in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. It is stored in the mitochondria of your cells, often called the “powerhouse” of the cell, and is therefore involved in energy production.
It is synthesized in the body naturally and is used for important functions such as providing energy to cells, transporting electrons, and regulating blood pressure levels. As a “coenzyme,” CoQ10 also helps other enzymes work properly. The reason it is not considered a “vitamin” is that all animals, including humans, can produce small amounts of coenzymes on their own, even without the help of food.
Coenzyme Q10 is necessary not only for the production of cellular energy, but also for protecting cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals.
It has been shown to help recycle vitamin C and vitamin E, further enhancing the effects of vitamins and antioxidants already at work in the body.
Although the body has the ability to produce some CoQ10 on its own, CoQ10 production naturally declines as we age – precisely when we need our cells to help protect us the most.
Some factors believed to contribute to CoQ10 deficiency/low levels, besides aging and genetic defects, include:
- The presence of chronic diseases
- High levels of oxidative stress
- Nutritional deficiency of B vitamins
- Mitochondrial diseases
- Taking statin medications
Rarely, a person may suffer from “primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency,” which is a genetic defect that stops the body from synthesizing this compound properly. For these people, CoQ10 supplementation is usually needed to help reverse the brain- and muscle-related symptoms of primary CoQ10 deficiency.
