Coenzyme Q10
CoQ10 belongs to a group of substances
known as ubiquinones. These molecules
are known to have cardioprotective,
cytoprotective, and neuroprotective
properties. The antioxidant characteristic
of CoQ10 works in the mitochondriathe
power plantsand in the membranes
of cells, where it prevents oxidation.
It also inhibits the oxidation of
LDL cholesterol, which plays a significant
role in atherosclerosis.
CoQ10 is made by the body and shares
a common pathway with cholesterol.
Levels of CoQ10 decline as humans
age. Additionally, some drugs, such
as the statins used to control cholesterol
levels, inhibit the bodys manufacture
of the enzyme.
Absorption of CoQ10 is relatively
low, especially if a supplement
is taken on an empty stomach. For
that reason it is best taken with
food, preferably containing some
fat. Normally, it takes several
weeks of CoQ10 supplementation to
reach maximal serum concentrations.
Thereafter, daily dosing will maintain
the plateau. |
