Antioxidant effect of Q10 co-enzyme
The antioxidant effect of Q10 ubichinon is indirect, which is more effective from direct inner- or outer- cells binding of already formed free radical from direct antioxidants. Practically the direct and indirect antioxidants complete their activity, which protects the cells from destruction. The free radicals formation and neutralization process is permanent and namely on the balance between the two processes stands the base of cell surviving. Disorders appear when the balance is disturbed.
Absolute every cell of the organism needs adenosine three phosphate, as we mentioned before a main source is an oxidized-reduced chain. Q10 is an unchangeable element of the chain and have fundamental place, represent limiting stage and possesses high antioxidant activity.
The Co Q10 concentration decreasing in blood with 25% leads to variety of disease risings, but the concentration below 50% is incompatible with life.
It is known that Co Q10 quality decreases with the ages. The visible effect is decreased metabolic capacity of each cell and decreased regeneration ability of cell organelles, DNA, ribonucleic acid or mitotic activity of proliferated cells. From the other side decreases essentially the immune system effectiveness. This leads to decreased resistance to different infection and non-infection diseases and decreased anti-cancer immunity. All this is in consequences of growing older process. The aging is permanent process, which starts from the birth. The reasons for its development are still unknown, but according to a group of scientist in the base of the aging stand decreased synthesis of Q10. The prophylactic with CoQ10 can slows down the growing older process and also assists the healing course after severe illness.
It is very important to be known that there is no diet, which can insure enough CoQ10 intakes. Q10 founds in the major quality in foods with animal origin-liver, fish, meat, but in small concentrations. Namely this is the reason Q10 to be taken in proper oral form, with fatty food.
So far there are no fixed side effects of Co Q10 application in doses not exceeding 500 mg. daily. The preparations can be used for prophylactic and also as a part of the healing course.
