“We will all go Q10 together”
In the 1980s and 1990s, a lot of marketing was done about Q10. What is Q10? What are the functions?

Q10 is actually "coenzyme Q10" is the active formUbiquinol. Ubiquinol is derived from the word Ubiquitous which means: “Which exists or is found everywhere.” So coenzyme Q10 is in every cell and in every part of the body. Read below for the features. Ubiquinol is not a vitamin but a coenzyme that was discovered in 1957 by Fred L. Crane. It is a body's own antioxidant and protects the cell. It is also a co-factor in several important conversion steps in the cell, especially energy conversion.

It occurs in greatest quantities in:

• hart
• lever
• muscles
• brain
• pancreas
• nervous system

Many vitamins are a precursor to a coenzyme. A coenzyme enables an enzyme to allow a chemical reaction to take place. These processes work as a kind of chain reaction. You can imagine if certain components are not or hardly present, that this chain is broken. A coenzyme functions in the cell as an on/off switch.
A number of key data at a glance:

• Ubiquinol is fat soluble (preferably combined with omega 3)
• animal sources: organ meats, oily fish and poultry
• plant sources: nuts and dark green leafy vegetables [particularly broccoli, spinach, and soybeans]
• may reduce need for blood sugar lowering blood pressure lowering medication
• 150 mg Ubiquinol (active form) = 1200 mg Ubiquinone (oxidized form) [6-10x higher bioavailability with active form]
• statins, beta blockers, birth control pills, diuretics have a depleting effect on Q10 production
• The more oxidative stress, the lower the ratio between ubiquinone and ubiquinol.
• Ubiquinol from Kaneka has a GRAS status. (generally recognized as safe)
• A lower dose of ubiquinol because it is an active form.

The Functions of Coenzyme Q10, Ubiquinol:

• regulatory effect on the heart
• energy in the mitochondria (heart, muscle, kidney, liver)
• Improving the permeability of cell membranes
• anti-inflammatory
• resistance supporting (increasing)
• reduce side effects of chemotherapy and other medications
• nerve protective
• support of liver function
• improves performance in sports
• mainly bound to LDL in the body
• against fatigue (mice study ubiquinol 150% increase in running time in the wheel, ubiquinone 60% increase compared to no Q10 addition = slight decrease. source: nutranews.org)
• skin protection from the sun, UV damage
• support physical activity (prevents injuries, reduces inflammation and lactic acid levels, improves athletic performance and stimulates muscle recovery
• inhibition of arteriosclerosis
• Q10 + selenium halve the risk of heart attack (Sweden Linköping study)
• recovery heart-lung patients after resuscitation (leichster hospital UK)
• Periodontitis often deficient in Q10, risk of stroke also greater
• influencing gene expression (switching on/off, DNA protocols)

Factors that lower CoQ10 in food:

• preservation methods
• Artificial early ripening (gas)
• Long term storage
• Industrial processing methods
• Wrong treatment at home (cooking too long, baking leads to 14%-31% loss)
• as well as the use of medication. (statins, beta blockers, birth control pills, diuretics)
• and the age, after the 35 years enormous decrease in own production of Q10

When do you use Q10 as a supplement?:

• dyslipidemie
• hypertension (high blood pressure)
• endothelial dysfunction
• atheroslerose
• heart failure
• cardiomyopathy
• metaboolsyndroom &diabetes
• chronic low-grade inflammation
• MS
• non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
• neurodegenerative disorders
• Reduced fertility
• autism
• fibromyalgia
• CVS
• migraine
• kidney diseases and liver diseases
• asthma
• eye problems
• cancer
• traumatic brain injury
• prolonged stress
• (top) athletes
• anti-ageing
• people who are vegetarian…

WITHOUT COQ10 IN THE CELL = CELL DEATH!
