Co Enzyme Q10 - 60

Co Enzyme Q10 properties

The Co enzyme Q10 optimizes the electron transport chain within the mitochondria to produce the primary and essential energy fuel for each cell. The mitochondrion is located inside each of our billions of cells and ensures the combustion of food with Co Enzyme Q10 to produce the fuel essential to their functioning.

The heart is more than an organ. It's a real muscle, very rich in mitochondria. The mitochondria, like energy cells for the cell, have an absolute need for Co enzyme Q10 for their functioning.

Co enzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant. It protects our cell membranes (rich in fatty acids) from oxidation. Every second, our membranes, cells and their internal components (mitochondria, cell nucleus, lysosome, peroxisome) are under attack by particularly aggressive free radicals.

Co enzyme Q10 also protects other antioxidants from aggression such as vitamin E and vitamin C and allows their regeneration by maintaining the reduced molecular structure of these two antioxidants. We thus find a real synergy and cooperation between essential nutrients in order to protect the different components of the cell and its membrane and thus ensure optimal protection, functioning and energy status.

The organs richest in mitochondria, which are major consumers of oxygen and suppliers of energy, are :

• the heart

• the brain

• the pancreas

• the kidney

• the muscle

Supplying Co enzyme Q10 ensures that organs and cells are optimally protected and function. The management and use of carbohydrates, fats and oxygen is optimised thanks to Co Enzyme Q10.

Oxidation, aging, stress and unbalanced nutrition lead to fouling and asphyxiation of the mitochondria. The mitochondria can no longer function at a rate that allows minimal energy production to the body's cells due to an inability to synthesize sufficient Co enzyme Q10.

Co Enzyme Q10 and brain function

The brain is the organ that uses the most oxygen. It is therefore the site of strong oxidation and its antioxidant needs are very high.

The Co enzyme Q10 provides the prime fuel for the "substantia nigra" area of the brain rich in dopaminergic neurons. This area regulates neuromuscular control and is the site of high activity that requires abundant Co Enzyme Q10.

Oxidation, aggression by heavy metals or micro-organisms of the "substantia nigra" leads to an elimination of the Co enzyme Q10. This allows to restore the functioning and energy potential of the mitochondria due to asphyxia. The Co enzyme Q10 optimizes :

• the use and combination of food for the production of energy by cells

• optimal use of oxygen by and for the cells
