Vitamin Q or Coenzyme Q10
Vitamin Q is often referred to as Coenzyme Q10. One of the coenzymes needed for energy production in the body. A strong antioxidant, it also helps prevent a number of diseases, slow down the aging of the body. Coenzyme Q10 is found in the mitochondria of cells of the heart muscle, skeletal muscle, lungs, liver and kidneys, for which it is also called ubiquinone, from the word "omnipresent", which means "everywhere" in Latin.
Coenzyme Q10 was discovered in 1957 by Dr. Crane and his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin, USA. It is a fat-soluble coenzyme isolated from the mitochondria of cow heart cells. In Japan, coenzyme Q10 has been used since 1975 as a therapeutic agent for myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes, etc. But in 2001, it was approved as a dietary supplement.
In our body, Coenzyme Q10 (Coq10) performs 2 main functions:
- ATP energy production activator. When Coq10 is present in the body in the right amount, energy is produced efficiently and the body easily withstands difficulties.
- Strong antioxidant. It performs the function of protecting the body from damage caused by an excessive increase in active oxygen. Active oxygen is necessary for the human body because it has the function of getting rid of bacteria and viruses, but if its amount is too high, it begins to damage normal cells with its powerful effect, causing diseases and aging of the body. The amount of active oxygen increases due to stress, ultraviolet rays, smoking, overwork, etc.
In addition, Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in maintaining the health of blood vessels - the reduced coenzyme Q10 contributes to the formation of NO (nitric oxide), which is responsible for the elasticity of blood vessels.
Enzymes with antioxidant action, to protect the body from damage caused by active oxygen, are produced by the body itself, but their power decreases significantly with age.
After 40 years, the amount of Coenzyme Q10 in the most important organs also begins to decline rapidly. Its replenishment is the key to a healthy and long life!
The recommended daily dose of Coq10 is 60-100mg. Foods high in Coq10 include beef, pork, liver, sardines and mackerel, spinach, broccoli, soybeans, and cheese. It is difficult to adequately replenish the lack of Coq10 from the diet. For example, in order to consume 100 mg of Coq10, you need to eat about 2.7 kg of beef and about 30 kg of peas. In this case, it is recommended to take Coenzyme Q10 in the form of dietary supplements.
Coenzyme Q10 exists in three redox forms, fully oxidized (ubiquinone), partially reduced (semiquinone or ubisemiquinone), and fully reduced (ubiquinol). The use of the reduced form of coenzyme Q10 is more effective than the use of its oxidized form, since it has 8 times greater tissue bioavailability than the oxidized form.
In addition, NAD + helps the work of coenzyme Q10. It transfers the energy extracted from nutrients in the form of hydrogen (electrons) and passes it on to Coenzyme Q10, which needs it to produce ATP energy. It turns out an effective joint work of NMN (the original source of NAD +) and Coenzyme Q10 for energy production. Therefore, in the latest generation of nutritional supplements, NMN and Coenzyme Q10 are increasingly presented together.
