The coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) ensures that our cells are supplied with oxygen and thus energy is produced for the body.
Coenzymes support enzymes by taking on specific tasks in biochemical processes. Well-known coenzymes are "ATP", which is also known as an energy carrier. Also ascorbic acid, which is primarily known under the name "vitamin C".
In simple terms, these are substances that control biochemical processes. Everything that happens in our bodies - from digestion to the replication of genetic information - takes place with the help of enzymes. They trigger and accelerate chemical reactions - which is why they are also referred to as "biocatalysts". As such, they play a crucial role in ensuring that our body functions as it should.
Although coenzyme Q10 (or ubiquinone) is not so well known, it is one of the most important substances in the human body. As a chemical "mediator", it is an important component of the respiratory chain, i.e. the production of energy through the combustion of oxygen that we breathe in.
This means that without coenzyme Q10, the mitochondria - the small power plants in our cells - would not be able to produce any energy. And then basically nothing would work: no muscle activity, no nerve activity, no cell regeneration processes, no immune reactions.
Coenzyme Q 10 is therefore partly responsible for ensuring that we literally do not run out of energy. But it does even more.
Energy production through oxygen combustion is by far the most efficient (in contrast to fermentation or photosynthesis, for example); however, it has one serious disadvantage: the formation of "free radicals", aggressive oxygen compounds that can damage or even destroy cell nuclei and other biological structures.
To prevent this, we need so-called "antioxidants" - substances that neutralize free radicals and render them harmless.
Examples of antioxidants are vitamin C or vitamin E, but also secondary plant substances such as anthocyanins from red wine or catechins from green tea.
However, one of the most important antioxidants is coenzyme Q10, which not only helps to effectively combat free radicals, but also to regenerate vitamin E, which is so important for detoxifying the body.
The cell protection function of coenzyme Q 10 makes it one of the most interesting food supplements of recent years - but only in its natural form, as found in offal (liver), nuts (e.g. pistachios), pulses, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, vegetable oils, cabbage, onions, potatoes, spinach, Brussels sprouts and broccoli.
This is because only natural coenzyme Q 10 can be easily absorbed by the cells and is therefore well tolerated. As an antioxidant, it strengthens the immune system, supports the regeneration of important vitamins and can, among other things, help to positively influence the natural ageing process of the skin, for example.
As the largest human organ, the skin is exposed not only to direct environmental influences but also to strong free radicals. Neutralizing them gives the skin cells more energy. This makes it easier for them to regenerate, which in turn noticeably slows down skin ageing.
Taking natural coenzyme Q 10 as an antioxidant can certainly contribute to this.
