Coenzyme Q10

Medicines are common in life. There are many types of medicines. When choosing medicines, we should also base them on the diseases that are suitable for the patients. This will help the patients control their diseases. Common diseases are mainly coughs, allergies, colds, and sore throats. These diseases are not very harmful to the human body, and the treatment is relatively simple. For some complex diseases, we need to choose a variety of treatment methods. What kind of medicine is coenzyme Q10?

Before treating a disease, the choice of medicine is also critical. So what is coenzyme Q10? It is a drug specifically used to treat heart disease. It is very helpful in improving the disease and is also very easy to use.

Coenzyme Q10:

Coenzyme drugs. Coenzyme Q10 is an important antioxidant and immune enhancer. It is mainly used for the adjuvant treatment of heart diseases (such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, etc.), arrhythmia, sinus tachycardia, premature beats, hypertension and cancer, as well as for the comprehensive treatment of acute and chronic viral hepatitis and subacute pulmonary necrosis. In addition, coenzyme Q10 has also expanded into the field of beauty and skin care.

Functional purpose

Anti-aging

Coenzyme Q10 has two main functions in the body. One is that it plays an important role in the conversion of nutrients into energy in mitochondria, and the other is that it has a significant anti-lipid peroxidation effect. It is an energy converter in the cell mitochondria. It participates in the "tricarboxylic acid cycle" by transferring and transmitting electrons to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is an energy factor for cell metabolism. Humans' ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10 reaches its peak at the age of 20 and lasts until around the age of 50. It will decrease year by year in the future because the mitochondrial DNA material of cells that stores coenzyme Q10 is damaged by oxygen free radicals, resulting in a decrease in the autonomous synthesis of coenzyme Q10. As a result, the metabolic function of human cells, especially heart cells, declines, and the "aging" signs begin to show.

Experiments have shown that after coenzyme Q10 in the body becomes alcohol, it directly reacts with peroxide free radicals and can regenerate vitamin E, acting as an antioxidant independently and in conjunction with vitamin E. In vitro experiments have also found that the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 can protect mammalian cells from apoptosis caused by mitochondrial oxidative stress, while tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) or oncogene inhibitors have no such effect. Clinical studies have shown that oral coenzyme Q10 has significant therapeutic effects on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases related to mitochondrial dysfunction and aging, such as Parkinson's syndrome, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of coenzyme Q10, so when choosing such drugs, we can rest assured. However, it should be noted that when choosing such drugs, we must also choose the right amount, so that it will be of great help to improve the disease and prevent the disease from continuing to develop.
