Coq10 is found in plants and animals and is considered a "non-vitamin nutrient," which means that we can take it from food and the body can synthesize it itself.
Coq10 is found in meat (such as sardines and other seafood, or beef, chicken), nuts (such as peanuts, walnuts, cashews, etc.) or vegetables (such as spinach, broccoli, etc.), but food processing and cooking processes (such as oxidation, heating) can cause damage.
Coenzyme Q10 is a coenzyme in mitochondrial ATP formation and plays an important role in human body.
Metabolism is the basic characteristic of human life activities. Energy metabolism in living organisms is mainly carried out in the mitochondria, which produce 95% of the total energy of the human body.
Coenzyme Q10 is an energy conversion agent, which exists in the inner membrane of mitochondria and participates in the energy production of cells. It can promote the synthesis of ATP, significantly increase the oxygen content of myocardium, increase the vitality of organisms, and prolong the life of myocardium.
Coq10 is also an antioxidant.
According to the theory of free radical senescence, the main cause of body senescence is the oxidative damage caused by free radicals to cells, which accumulates with age and damages cell function, leading to the decline or loss of cell function, and ultimately the body senescence.
Coenzyme Q10 can remove free radicals, prevent atherosclerosis, and strengthen the cell lining to resist the damage of external oxidizing factors. It is the only fat-soluble antioxidant that exists naturally in the human body and can be regenerated in the human body.
