Coenzyme Q10 is a compound that exists in all cells of the human body providing vitamin-like benefits. It is present in the cell’s energy producing structures called mitochondria, where it is used to convert fats and carbohydrates into cellular energy called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This essential compound can also maintain healthy cell membrane by offering potent antioxidant protection.

- CoQ10 is an essential nutrient for energy production. This vitamin-like nutrient is used by the cell’s mitochondria to produce energy in the form or ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) from carbohydrates and fats to supply the different organs to carry out their functions. ATP is needed by the heart for its pumping action, muscles for movements, brain for memory and learning, immune system for active defences against infections, and liver for effective detoxification. Low energy levels compromise these organs which can lead to a wide range of health problems and diseases.
- Coenzyme Q10 helps the body to maintain enough energy to counteract fatigue. Fatigue can be an effect of mitochondrial failure, wherein the mitochondria poorly produce energy that can be poor supply of its raw materials including CoQ10. Getting enough of this compound to provide the cells with more materials to energise the body and maintain stamina.
- Research found that CoQ10 sustains normal blood pressure levels in patients with Diabetes. There are also studies suggesting that it can control blood glucose levels for effective diabetes management. CoQ10 supplements can enhance the beneficial effects of low-carb diet, and regular exercise at normalising the blood sugar levels to relieve the symptoms of diabetes. Additionally, this nutrient may help reduce the risk for developing cardiovascular complications such as hypertension and stroke related to increased blood glucose levels.
- CoQ10 can strengthen your body’s antioxidant protection against free radicals. This natural compound can prevent free radical damage to the cell’s DNA, RNA, mitochondria, and cell membranes all throughout the ageing process. It can also recycle the antioxidant vitamins C and E so they can continue providing antioxidant protection for the body.
CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) was the first ever anti-ageing nutrient introduced in the market in the 1970s. Since then, it has been the topic of a multitude of scientific research all over the world on how it works at providing the body with potent anti-ageing benefits. To date, CoQ10 has satisfied different clinical studies on cardiovascular health specifically on blood pressure control, cholesterol management, and triglyceride balance. Another area to which CoQ10 has excelled in the field of energy production being it is a raw material for the production of energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the unit of energy storage being used by the major organs like the brain, heart, muscles, and liver to perform their specific biological functions in order to maintain health. CoQ10 supplements have been suggested to relieve the symptoms of mitochondrial failure, where the cells’ energy producing units fail to produce enough energy. Common symptoms of mitochondrial failure include memory loss, cognitive deterioration, heart failure, liver disorders, and premature ageing.
