What is CoQ10?& How Does it Work

What is CoQ10?

CoQ10 is one of the greatestnutritional supplements availableon the market today.

It is both extraordinarily beneficial andextremely well-tolerated by the body.

It has been championed by researchers,physicians and popular health experts.

What is CoQ10?

Bryce Wylde, a member of Dr. Oz’smedical advisory board, gave CoQ10(in the form of ubiquinol – more on thatlater) a grade of A in his survey ofnutritional supplements.

So,what exactly is CoQ10and how does it work?

CoQ10 is......a fuel: It aids in the cellular exchange of energy.

CoQ10 is......a fuel: It aids in the cellular exchange of energy.

...a mop: It cleans the body of harmful free radicals.

CoQ10 is a......Co-enzyme in the

Quinone chemical group with

10 isoprenyl chemical subunits in its tail.

To get technical for a moment,

Thus, CoQ10.

CoQ10 is produced in the cells of the bodyand does its work there.

CoQ10 is produced in the cells of the bodyand does its work there.

It is in

EVERY CELL of the body.

CoQ10 is produced in the cells of the bodyand does its work there.

So no CoQ10, no cellular energy.

It is in

EVERY CELL of the body.

Inside these cells,CoQ10 gets to work.

But first, it must be transformed.

Inside these cells,CoQ10 gets to work.

Before CoQ10 can be used by the body,it must be converted into its active form,which is called “ubiquinol”

Before CoQ10 can be used by the body,it must be converted into its active form,which is called “ubiquinol”

Think of it this way:We don’t put crude oil in our cars. We must refine itfirst. So CoQ10 is the crude oil, and ubiquinol is thegasoline our cars can actually use.

But, for the time being,we’ll use the name “CoQ10.”

But, for the time being,we’ll use the name “CoQ10.”

Now,once it gets to work, what does it do?

FUELS

It generates energy.CoQ10 is part of the electron transport chainand generates cellular energy in the form ofATP, a nucleoside triphosphate.

FUELS

It is instrumental in the generation of 95%of the human body’s cellular energy.

FUELS

It should be no surprise then that whenCoQ10 is low, so is energy.

FUELS

One of CoQ10’s great roles is as fuel.But what else does it do?

FUELS

CLEANS

When the body produces its energy, it alsoproduces exhaust, just like a car’s engine.

CLEANS

The byproduct of cellular energyproduction is free radicals.

CLEANS

The byproduct of cellular energyproduction is free radicals.

A free radical is an unbalanced oxygenmolecule that is lacking an electron.

CLEANS

So, in order to balance themselves, freeradicals go around stealing electrons fromother cells, which can damage healthy cells.

CLEANS

Researchers are testing a theory thatfree radicals are actually the primecatalyst behind most aging processes.

CLEANS

CoQ10, however, acts as a natural mop toclean these harmful bits from the system.

CLEANS

Ubiquinol is the active, antioxidant form of CoQ10.

Ubiquinol is the active, antioxidant form of CoQ10.

In this form, ubiquinol has an extraelectron that it can donate to a freeradical, thereby neutralizing it.

Because CoQ10 is so essential for energy, itis no surprise that the highest concentrationsof CoQ10 are found in the organs that requirethe most energy to function:

The heart, liver and kidneys.

Several studies have found that diseased organsare often lacking sufficient concentrations of CoQ10.

Because CoQ10 in the ubiquinol form has onlybeen available as a supplement for a few ybeen available as a supplement for a few years,researchers are racing to discover just how far-reaching its benefits are.

Statin Medication Users Statins lower the body’s ability to make its ownCoQ10 and are prescribed to 1 in 4 Americansover 45 to help lower cholesterol levels.
