Health+ Coenzyme Q10, 90 capsules
Coenzyme Q-10 is known to many not only as a dietary supplement, but also as an ingredient in face creams for skin rejuvenation and as an anti-aging agent. It is a yellow-orange, odorless and tasteless powder that HEALTH+ offers as dietary supplement capsules. Structurally, it is similar to vitamins K and E. It is also a derivative of quinones (ubiquinone-10), which is an important group of organic compounds.
In the body, the coenzyme Q10 contributes to energy production . In all body cells there are mitochondria, which are also known as small "power plants" and convert the energy that we take in into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) with the help of oxygen, among other things. The coenzyme Q10 is involved in this process and thus ensures our energy supply .
Q10 as a dietary supplement
The coenzyme Q10 is rich in the flesh of organs, for example in the liver, as well as in fatty fish such as mackerel or sardines. Nuts such as pistachios, legumes and kernels as well as spinach, broccoli and cabbage also have a natural presence of Q10, so that it can also be ingested through food without any problems. However, the coenzyme can be destroyed by heating, as happens during cooking. How convenient that the HEALTH+ capsules are now available!
A Q10 deficiency is relatively rare, but the content in the organs decreases with age.
Skin and face creams for mature skin therefore usually contain the coenzyme in order to avoid a deficiency that increases with age and to ensure the breakdown of harmful radicals. If the body does not have enough Q10 available, the mitochondria cannot produce enough energy in the form of ATP. Free radicals are also increasingly formed, which damage cell health.
The HEALTH+ Q10 capsules as a dietary supplement can therefore make a valuable contribution to covering needs.
Note:
People who take anticoagulant medication should refrain from taking Q10 as a dietary supplement. Pregnant women and children should also avoid taking it.
The Q10 capsules are FREE OF magnesium stearate and titanium dioxide and are filled in vegetable capsule shells.
