Here are some more interesting facts about CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is a compound that helps generate energy in cells.
The human body produces CoQ10 naturally, but with age its production decreases.
Health conditions such as: heart disease, brain disorders, diabetes and some cancer conditions are associated with CoQ10 deficiency in the body. NCBI1(National Center for Biotechnology Information United States of America – National Center for Biotechnology US) *
It is not clear whether low levels of Q10 cause these diseases or whether a certain type of disease results in a CoQ10 deficiency. One thing is for sure, many studies reveal the health benefits of CoQ10. This is evidenced by numerous studies published in the US National Center for Biotechnology Information.
What is CoQ10?
CoQ10 is a compound that is produced by the human body and stored in the mitochondria of cells. (NCBI2)*
Mitochondria are responsible for energy production in cells. They also protect cells from oxidative damage (so-called antioxidant action), disease-causing bacteria and viruses. (NCBI3)*
CoQ10 production declines with age. Therefore, older people are more likely to be deficient in this compound.
Here are some of the possible causes of CoQ10 deficiency:
- Vitamin B6 deficiency
- Genetic predisposition and condition in which the human body cannot synthesize and use CoQ10 properly
- Increased demand by tissues and organs as a result of disease
- Oxidative stress of cells due to natural aging processes
- Side effects of treatment with statins (the active ingredient in some cholesterol-lowering drugs)**
Studies show that CoQ10 plays several key roles in the human body.
One of its main functions is the production of energy in cells. It participates in the production of ATP** (adenosine triphosphate), which is responsible for the transfer of energy between cells. (NCBI2)*
Its other crucial role is to serve as an antioxidant and protect cells from oxidative damage. Which is proven by research (NCBI2 strong>, NCBI5) *
Excessive free radicals lead to oxidative damage (damage to cells) that can prevent cells from functioning normally. To some extent, this is the cause of many health problems. (NCBI6)*
CoQ10 is contained in every cell of our body. However, the highest concentration was found in organs with high energy needs, such as the heart, kidneys, lungs and liver. (NCBI7)*
We will present to you the 9 main benefits of CoQ10 for the body:
1. CoQ10 helps treat heart failure
Heart failure in many cases is a consequence of other heart diseases, such ascoronary artery disease and high blood pressure. (NBCI8)*
These conditions can lead to oxidative damage to cells and inflammation of the veins and arteries. (NBCI8, NBCI9)*
Heart failure occurs when these problems affect the heart to the extent that it prevents it from working normally or pumping blood. (NBCI8)*
Some heart failure products have unwanted side effects, such as low blood pressure. Others can even cause a decrease in CoQ10 levels in the body.
In a study of 420 people with heart failure, taking CoQ10 for 2 years improved their condition and reduced their risk of death from heart problems. Research data can be seen here (NBCI11 )*
Another study conducted with 641 people treated with CoQ10 and a placebo proved the beneficial effect of the combination.
The conclusion at the end of the study was that people taking CoQ10 were rarely hospitalized with worsening heart failure and had fewer complications. (NBCI12)*
From the studies conducted, we can summarize that taking CoQ10 can:
- To help restore optimal energy levels
- To reduce oxidative damage (accumulation of free radicals)
- To improve heart function
All of which may aid therapies for the treatment of heart failure ( NBCI8)*.
SUMMARY:
CoQ10 aids in the treatment of heart failure by improving heart function. Increases ATP production and limits oxidative damage (antioxidant effect).
2. CoQ10 and improving fertility
2.1. Female Fertility
Female fertility declines with age due to a decrease in the number and quality of eggs.
CoQ10 is directly involved in this process. With age, CoQ10 decreases in the body, making it less effective at protecting eggs from oxidative damage. (NCBI13)*
Taking CoQ10 as a dietary supplement can help, and even reverse, this age-related decline. Namely – to increase the quantity and quality of eggs.
2.2. Male Fertility
Likewise, male sperm are susceptible to oxidative damage, which can lead to reduced sperm count, poor sperm quality, and infertility. This is evidenced by the research done. (NCBI14< /strong>, NCBI15 )*
Studies done in this area prove that taking CoQ10 can improve sperm quality, activity and concentration by increasing antioxidant defenses. (NCBI15, NCBI16)*
SUMMARY:
The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 can improve sperm quality. (NCBI14, NCBI15)* However they increase multiply the quantity and quality of eggs in women.(NCBI13 a>)*
3. CoQ10 and skin benefits
The skin is the largest organ in the body. This makes it quite vulnerable to external factors that contribute to aging.
Some of these factors can be internal or external.
Internal harmful factors include cellular damage or hormonal imbalance.
External factors include natural interference, such as: UV rays, pollution ofthe air, etc. (NCBI17 strong>)*
The unfavorable factors listed above can lead to dehydration of the skin and reduce its protection from the harmful effects of the environment, as well as thinning of the skin layers. (NCBI17, < strong>NCBI18)*
Applying CoQ10 directly to the skin can reduce damage from internal and external agents. The mechanism of action is by increasing the production of energy in the skin cells. Promoting antioxidant defense.(NCBI19 strong>)*
A clinical study shows that CoQ10 applied directly to the skin reduces oxidative damage to cells. It can also reduce the depth of wrinkles caused by UV rays( NCBI20)*
Last but not least, people with low levels of CoQ10 are at greater risk of diseases such as skin cancer. (NCBI21)*
SUMMARY:
When applied directly to the skin, CoQ10 can reduce sun damage and increase antioxidant protection. CoQ10 supplementation may also help reduce the risk of skin cancer, as evidenced by the following studies -(NCBI21)*
4. CoQ10 for dealing with headaches
As we noted above, impaired mitochondrial function in cells can lead to:
- Increased uptake of calcium by cells,
- Excessive production of free radicals and reduced antioxidant protection.
This can lead to reduced energy in brain cells and even migraines. This is evidenced by the research done (NCBI22 strong>)*
CoQ10 has been shown to improve mitochondrial function in brain cells and help reduce inflammation that occurs during migraines. (NCBI23)*
A study has shown that taking CoQ10 as a dietary supplement is three times more effective than a placebo in reducing the number of headache occurrences.(NCBI24)*
Migraine sufferers are deficient in CoQ10.
Another study showed that 1,550 people with low levels of CoQ10 experienced fewer and less severe headaches after long-term use of the compound. (NCBI25)*
What’s more, taking CoQ10 may not only help reduce migraine symptoms, but may also prevent them. This is evidenced by the studies conducted (NCBI26 strong>)*
SUMMARY:
Taking additional CoQ10 as a dietary supplement and improving mitochondrial function may help prevent and relieve migraines.
5. The intake of CoQ10 during physical exertion
The accumulation of free radicals can impair muscle function. This can contribute to faster onset of fatigue during exercise and more difficult recovery after exercise. (NCBI27)*
Impaired mitochondrial function can reduce muscle energy, which is the reason for the decline in muscle efficiency during physical exertion. This is evidenced by the research done (NCBI28 strong>, NCBI29) *
CoQ10 supports physical performance by reducing free radicals in muscle cells and improving mitochondrial function. (NCBI30)*
There is a study examining the effects of CoQ10 on physical activity. The people whotaking 1200 mg of CoQ10 per day for 60 days showed a decrease in free radicals in cells (NCBI31)*
Also, taking additional CoQ10 can increase energy during exercise and reduce fatigue. In this way, the effectiveness of the exercises is also improved. (NCBI32, < strong>NCBI33, NCBI34)*
SUMMARY:
Physical exertion can be affected by the accumulation of free radicals and mitochondrial dysfunction (impaired function of mitochondria in cells) in muscle cells. CoQ10 helps lower the levels of accumulated free radicals. Increases exercise efficiency and reduces fatigue.
6. CoQ10 to help against diabetes
As already mentioned, the accumulation of free radicals damages cells. This can lead to metabolic diseases such as diabetes. This is evidenced by the research published on August 15, 2017. (NCBI35)*
Mitochondrial dysfunction has also been linked to insulin resistance. (NCBI35)*
Studies conducted in people with type 2 diabetes have shown that CoQ10 improves insulin sensitivity and regulates blood sugar levels (NCBI36)*
Taking additional CoQ10 as a dietary supplement can help to increase the concentration of CoQ10 in the blood in people with diabetes, who normally have low levels of this compound. (NCBI37, NCBI38)*
A study conducted with people with type 2 diabetes who took CoQ10 for 12 weeks showed improvements in their test scores. Significant reduction in blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C (glycated hemoglobin) levels (NCBI39)*
Taking CoQ10 as a dietary supplement helps break down fat and reduce the accumulation of fat cells that lead to obesity or type 2 diabetes. (NCBI40)*
SUMMARY:
CoQ10 supplementation may help increase insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, as well as protect healthy people from obesity at the cellular level.
7. CoQ10 to help with the prevention of malignant formations
If your body is unable to fight the accumulated free radicals, the structure of your cells can be damaged, increasing the risk of malignancy (some forms of cancer) (NCBI41, NCBI42)*
As we have repeatedly mentioned above, CoQ10 can protect cells from the accumulation of free radicals and stimulate the production of cellular energy. In this way, it promotes and protects their healing. (NCBI42, NCBI43)*
People diagnosed with cancer have decreased levels of CoQ10.
Low levels of CoQ10 are associated with up to a 53.3% higher risk of cancer. As a consequence of k10 deficiency, the prognosis of various types of malignant diseases is: (NCBI43, NCBI44, NCBI45 )*
A study has shown that supplemental CoQ10 intake may aid in the reductionof recurrence of malignant disease. (NCBI46)*
SUMMARY:
CoQ10 has an important role in the protection of cellular DNA and the preservation of cells, which are strongly related to the prevention and protection of the recurrence of malignant diseases.
8. CoQ10 supports brain function
Mitochondria are the main source of energy in brain cells.
Mitochondrial function declines with age. Overall dysfunction of the mitochondria can lead to the killing of brain cells and cause diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. (NCBI47)*
Unfortunately, the brain is very susceptible to the accumulation of free radicals in the cells, due to its high content of fatty acids and high need for oxygen.
This accumulation of free radicals increases the production of harmful compounds that can affect memory and physical function. (NCBI48 , NCBI49)*
With its antioxidant action, taking CoQ10 can reduce the formation of these harmful compounds. It may also slow the development of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The following studies prove this: (NCBI50< /strong>, NCBI51 )*
SUMMARY:
CoQ10 supplementation has been shown to help protect brain cells from free radical build-up. It reduces the effect of harmful compounds that can lead to brain diseases.
9. CoQ10 helps protect the lungs
Of all the organs in the human body, the lungs have the most contact with oxygen. This makes them very susceptible to the accumulation of free radicals.
The modern polluted environment and the accumulation of solid particles in the air lead to an increase in oxidative damage in the lungs. Poor antioxidant defenses and low levels of CoQ10 in lung cells can lead to lung disease. Some of these are asthma, various forms of bronchitis, complications from colds and flu, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (COPD)** ( NCBI52)* Read more about COPD here – COPD
People suffering from these conditions have been shown to have lower levels of CoQ10. (NCBI53, NCBI54)*
A study has shown that taking additional CoQ10 as a dietary supplement reduces inflammation in people suffering from asthma, as well as their need for steroid medication to treat it. (NCBI55)*
Another study showed that supplementing CoQ10 with people with COPD improved their physical performance. The reason for this is the better antioxidant action taking place in the tissues and the improvement of heart rate. (NCBI56)*
SUMMARY:
As a result of a polluted environment, the release of solid particles in the air and the presence of numerous sources of harmful emissions, our lungs are subjected to constant stress and pollution. For this reason, it is recommended to take CoQ10 as a dietary supplement. As shown in the studies described above, CoQ10 can reduce the accumulation of free radicals in lung cells that lead to various lung diseases.
Doses and side effects
When taking 1200 mg of CoQ10 for 16 months, no side effects were observed, threatening the overall function of the cells and the body. (
A standard dose of CoQ10 ranges from 90 mg to 200 mg per day. Doses up to 500 mg are also well tolerated by the body. A few studies have even used higher doses without side effects. (NCBI59, NCBI60, NCBI61)*
CoQ10 is a fat-soluble compound and is absorbed slowly by the body. Taking it with food can help the body absorb it up to three times faster than taking it without food.(NCBI2, NCBI62)*
CoQ10 Food = CoQ103
CoQ10 – Food = CoQ10
The human body does not store CoQ10. For this reason, it is recommended to take it for a long time in order to feel its benefits. CoQ10 is one of the few dietary supplements that can be taken year-round within the recommended daily intake.(NCBI58, NCBI66)*
CoQ10 supplementation is well absorbed by the human body and has very low levels of toxicity. (NCBI58)*. This toxicity was observed in a study of people taking 1200 mg of CoQ10 for 16 months. (NCBI51)* Due to for this reason, when side effects occur after taking CoQ10, it is recommended to reduce the daily dose to 3 smaller doses.
SUMMARY:
Since CoQ10 is fat soluble, it is recommended that it be taken with food or combined with oils to improve its absorption.
