Benefits
Energy for your skin
Extraordinary for counteracting the loss of skin elasticity and slowing down the formation of wrinkles due to its powerful antioxidant and protective action against peroxides that damage collagen and elastin.
Things
It is a natural lipid substance that is found in every cell of our body and for this reason it is also called ubiquinone. It is essential for the functioning of the cells themselves as it participates in the production of energy and helps maintain good physical efficiency.
It is produced by our body and synthesized by our cells, but this activity decreases with age, with an unbalanced diet, with the intake of some drugs, with the onset of some chronic diseases. This is why sometimes it is essential to integrate it with external sources.
Coenzyme Q 10 has a composition very similar to that of a vitamin, which is why it is called Vitamin Q, with a structure very similar to that of vitamins E and K.
Curiosity
It was discovered only in 1957 (the first vitamin, B1 was identified in 1911) by Prof. Crane of the University of Wisconsin in the mitochondria, the organs responsible for producing energy, in the heart of an ox.
Among the main food sources of Coenzyme Q10 we have soy, whole grains and wheat germ, dried fruit (walnuts), spinach and vegetable oils, fish (salmon, tuna, sardines), meat (especially liver) chicken, beef and pork.
