FERMENTED, NUTRITIONAL COENZYME COQ10 (naturally produced UBIKINONE), which is naturally found in the heart. Coenzyme Q10 is found in all cells of the human body, especially in high amounts in the heart. Its most important property is that it provides energy and has a significant effect on cellular respiration. It supports heart health and increases energy levels and resistance.

What is Coenzyme Q10?
Q10 is a molecule related to enzymes (hence the name coenzyme). When this vitamin-like substance was first isolated in 1957, it was called ubiquinone (ubiquista = ubiquitous). Because it is almost ubiquitous in nature and is present in every cell of our body. Our body needs 2 forms of UBIKINON and UBIQUINOL, but from UBIKINON our body can already produce UBIQUINOL to protect and energise our cells.
The highest levels of coenzyme Q10 in the human organs are found in the heart, followed in order by the kidneys, liver, muscles, pancreas, thyroid, brain, intestine, lungs, skin and plasma.
What is coenzyme Q10 good for? 7 areas where Q10 helps!
1. increases physical energy and performance by reducing muscle fatigue
2. boosts mental performance, can revitalise the active compounds in vitamin E and vitamin C
3. reduces atherosclerosis by inhibiting harmful oxidation processes in the blood vessel walls
4. increases the elasticity of the vascular walls, thereby reducing high blood pressure
5. protects heart health, improves heart work and workload (helps our hearts beat over 100,000 times a day)
6. reduces bleeding, inflamed gums (if this is the case, take 3000mg of Retard Vitamin C daily)
7. relieves migraine pain (in this case, supplement with magnesium bisglycinate)
Coenzyme Q10 is the spark that ignites the body's engine
Q10 triggers energy production in every cell. The body uses this cellular energy to maintain essential biological processes. Because of its central role in cellular energy production, small changes in CoQ10 levels within the mitochondria have a significant effect on cellular respiration. Thus, a lack of CoQ10 results in reduced energy levels and resistance.
Q10 is an essential, rejuvenating nutrient as it provides energy and aids cellular respiration. Q10 is the reason why we are at our peak at 20 years old. Unfortunately, as we age, it also naturally declines and with it our energy levels slowly diminish.
Fermented Coenzyme Q10 Heart Health
Q10 is found in particularly high amounts in the energy-demanding cells of the heart. Q10 inhibits inflammation-causing substances in the body and, as a powerful antioxidant, it also helps protect the cardiovascular system by neutralising free radicals.
As we age, the amount of it in our bodies gradually decreases. At the age of 40, the concentration of Q10 in the heart decreases by 40%, while by the age of 80 it decreases by 60%. Ubiquinol levels are lower in the elderly, in cardiovascular, neurological, liver and diabetes-related diseases.
Did you know? Omega fatty acids, organic selenium, calcium and magnesium, and potassium support heart muscle health.
Fermented Coenzyme Q10 and gums
No Q10 upsets the bacterial flora of the oral cavity. Q10, also known as the saviour of teeth and gums, is a particularly good choice for oral cavity complaints. It is no coincidence that many mouth sprays and toothpastes contain Q10. Decreasing Q10 status causes gum problems, especially bleeding gums and gingival atrophy - and this is often accompanied by bone loss in the jaw, caused by too much oral bacteria.
6 more interesting facts about Q10
ANTI-WRINKLE
Q10 is an anti-ageing, rejuvenating compound. Most women spend a fortune on anti-wrinkle and skin tightening creams, ignoring the natural anti-aging nutrients that rejuvenate our bodies from within. Although O10 is often mixed into anti-wrinkle creams, it is a much more effective skin rejuvenator when consumed internally.
DIGESTION
"As a 'coenzyme', CoQ10 helps other enzymes to work to digest food properly.
GUM DISEASES
Q10 inhibits the proliferation of harmful bacteria in the oral cavity and relieves pain in people with gum disease, reduces bleeding and inflammation of the gums, and speeds healing in people who have undergone oral surgery.
MIGRAINE
In a 2006 study, 32 migraine sufferers were treated with 150 mg of coenzyme Q10 daily. After three months of therapy, more than 60% of patients experienced an average 60% reduction in migraine days. The frequency of attacks was reduced by more than 40%, with no side effects. Similar results have already been achieved by Hungarian researchers in a three-month study with a very high evidence level.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The researchers concluded that coenzyme Q10 has the potential to reduce systolic blood pressure by up to 17 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 10 mm Hg, but that this requires at least 12 weeks of Q10 supplementation.
EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Cells use CoQ10 to produce the energy they need to grow and stay healthy. It is found in the energy-producing parts of cells and is involved in the production of a key molecule known as adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the main energy source in the cell and contributes to several important biological processes such as protein production and muscle contraction.
The most important properties of Q10 are to supply cells with energy and to maximise physical and mental fitness. The benefits of CoQ10 also include enhancing exercise performance. Supplementing with 60-120 mg of Q10 daily improves muscle concentration, results in maximum oxygen consumption and longer time to exhaustion. Increases aerobic power, anaerobic threshold, exercise performance and/or post-exercise recovery in both trained athletes and amateurs.
