How do you get the benefits of this essential antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10 that slows the rate of aging?
Firstly, CoQ10 is a type of coenzyme. That is, it helps enzymes in the body do their job better.
Normally, coenzymes cannot catalyze themselves, but enable enzymes to do their job.In the case of CoQ10, it plays an important role in causing metabolic chemical reactions that generate energy in cells, which means it helps convert food into energy.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, also helps give vitality to our lives. By boosting your ability to produce ATP, the source of energy, you can expect to reduce fatigue, increase endurance, and improve exercise ability.
Additionally, CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant, helping the body protect against potential damage from free radicals, or harmful molecules. Free radicals are associated with the aging process and can contribute to diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
As we age, especially after age 40, the body's ability to produce CoQ10 decreases. This accelerates aging. Typically, you can only get 3-5mg of CoQ10 from regular meals, which is not enough to meet the daily requirement of 30-60 mg. Therefore, from the age of 30, supplementation with external nutritional supplements is required.
Sufficient antioxidant effects can be expected when consuming 90-100mg of CoQ10 per day, and nutrients have different properties, so when taken together, a synergistic effect can be seen. In the case of CoQ10, the benefits are multiplied when combined with B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, cysteine, and selenium.
