How Does CoQ10 Work
Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 (2,3, dimethoxy-5-methyl-6 decaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinone) is the spark plug that ignites the body’s engine by jump starting energy production within all cells. The body then uses that energy to fuel all its vital processes, including muscle contraction and digestion. Therefore, the presence of CoQ10 in the body is fundamental to the sustaining of life. Without an adequate supply of CoQ10, the body cannot maintain normal levels of activity nor can it ward off or fight health disorders.
A quarter of a century of clinical testing showed that CoQ10 was effective in increasing energy levels, in treating heart diseases, in enhancing the immune system, in reversing periodontal disease, in providing antioxidant activity, and in preventing certain side effects of common drugs.
The human body functions optimally through the efficient conversion of food energy. Since CoQ10 has been shown to be an essential substance for the generation of energy, our bodies have to maintain it at sufficient levels. Current lifestyles may promote the production of damaging free radicals. CoQ10 functions as an antioxidant which neutralizes free radicals that damage cellular material. As a result, CoQ10’s properties help protect the integrity of the cell wall, making it an indispensable energy provider that assumes an important protective function for the human body.
