Chemspider 4445197 Coenzyme Q10 C59H90O4 for Improved Athletic Performance

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, ubidecarenone, coenzyme Q, and abbreviated at times to CoQ10 /ko kju tn/, CoQ, or Q10 is a 1,4-benzoquinone, where Q refers to the quinone chemical group, and 10 refers to the number of isoprenyl chemical subunits in its tail.

This oil-soluble, vitamin-like substance is present in most eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. Ninety-five percent of the human body's energy is generated this way. Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements-such as the heart, liver and kidney-have the highest CoQ10 concentrations.There are three redox states of CoQ10: fully oxidized (ubiquinone), semiquinone (ubisemiquinone), and fully reduced (ubiquinol). The capacity of this molecule to exist in a completely oxidized form and a completely reduced form enables it to perform its functions in the electron transport chain, and as an antioxidant, respectively.

Indication:
1 anti-aging:
Decreased immune function of increasing age is the result of free radicals and free radical reactions, coenzyme Q10 as a powerful antioxidant alone or in combination with Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) in combination inhibited the free radicals and cell receptors on immune cells differentiation and activity of microtubule associated modification system, strengthen the immune system, delay aging.

2, anti-fatigue acute and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS):
Body of non-specific immune enhancer, so show excellent anti-fatigue effects, coenzyme Q10 cells to maintain a good health condition, so the body is full of vitality, energy, brain abundant.

3, beauty:
Long-term use of coenzyme Q10 to prevent aging skin and light to reduce wrinkles around the eye, as coenzyme Q10 can penetrate into the skin growth layer of oxidation of reduced photon in tocopherol can start the help of specific phosphorylation of tyrosine kinase to prevent oxidative damage to DNA, inhibition of UV irradiation of human dermal fibroblast collagenase expression, protect the skin from injury, has significant antioxidant, anti-aging effect.

4, coenzyme Q10 for the adjuvant treatment of clinical disease following
Cardiovascular diseases, such as: Viral myocarditis, chronic cardiac insufficiency. Hepatitis, such as: Viral hepatitis, subacute hepatic necrosis, chronic active hepatitis.
Comprehensive treatment of cancer: Can reduce the radiation and chemotherapy cause some side effects.
