- COENZYME Q10 :
The coenzyme Q10 is an essential element for our life. It is a necessary
nutrient for the operations of all and each one of celulas of our body.
It is not a vitamin (the body can produce it from other nutrients),
is a mineral nor aminoacido either, but he is vital for our health which
we obtain sufficient from her, and is essential for the production of
energia in each one of ours celulas, allowing the same ones to live
but. This present in the body in universal form, so is asi that science
I name ¨ubiquinona¨ formally. He is not capricious which the
places where greater concentration we have of this substance, are indeed
the liver and the heart (organs which they require great amount of energy)
like thus also in the immunological system. On the other hand several
studies exist that suggest a protective paper of the coenzyme Q-10 in
the cardiac muscle after the oncológicas drug administration
like the adriamicina. On the other hand he has been useful also in cases
of muscular dystrophy and miopatías (we remember that many miocardiopatías
are associate with a weakening of muscles of the skeleton). More recent
studies suggest benefits of coenzime Q10 in cases of periodontitis,
diabetes, deafness and immunodeficiencies (AIDS for example). The fact
that this substance diminishes with the age praises its use in geriatría.
In these cases usually it is associated adaptógenas grass as
the Panax ginseng or Eleutherococus senticosus sinergizando its effects
In normal doses does not present adverse effects. Only some disturbances
gastrointestinales, nauseas or loss of appetite have been indicated,
but in general such they have been observed in very high doses. But
aslo to produce energy, the coenzyme Q10 can protect the organism of
the destructive free radicals and increase our defenses immune, doing
it extremely important to prevent and to treat the disease cardiac,
the diabetes, hypertension, obesity, to cancer and certain neurologicas
alterations. Also can help to delay the aging process. The body this
equipped to make it but its production often is limited by the complexity
of the sintesis mechanisms and by its dependency of other essential
nutrients. By such reason the optimal amount for single coenzyme Q10
can be obtained thru of supplements. The foods contain smaller amounts,
and our organism elaborates doses that never get to be optimal. The
deficiencies, unfortunately, are enough common and they are acreientan
with the aging. The coenzyme Q1o is very valuable in the sportsmen to
be antoxidant and to turn foods energy.
