Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule present in human cells. It is widespread throughout the body and for this reason it has been given a name that has to do with its ubiquitous role, it is in fact also called ubiquinone, and also unquinone. Coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in the production of energy through the ATP process that harnesses the energy power inherent in food, and stores it in specific molecules so that the body always has the energy resources available needed to perform physiological functions. Its presence may be insufficient in the presence of events that put a strain on the resources of our body: disease, psychophysical stress, prolonged intake of drugs, or exposure to pollutants or toxic substances. For this reason, its presence in a nutraceutical that strengthens the body’s immune defenses plays an important role in ensuring the energy supply necessary to cope with any exposure to pathogenic agents. Research has shown the positive role played by coenzyme Q10 – also known as vitamin Q – on the cardiovascular system. In addition, coenzyme Q10 deficiency is found in those with chronic migraine, and sufferers in fact derive relief from its intake. Coenzyme Q10 is also recognized to be capable of soothing asthenia and physical and muscular fatigue, and is known to play an important role in reducing oxidative stress due to the presence of free radicals.
