Miraculous coenzyme: Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a true fountain of health, youth and beauty! This impeccable particle of every cell in our bodies brings us so many good, we can simply call it miraculous coenzyme!

Q10 identity card  

Coenzyme Q10 was discovered 1957. Q10 is a substance, which is very similar to vitamins. It is present in every cell in our bodies, and has essential importance for cell activity.    
Q10 is perfect anti-oxidant. It transforms energy we gain from food into cell energy, which is actually essential energy for all vital procedures. During these procedures human body needs all kinds of vitamins and other substances: body produces the Q10 coenzyme till the age of 25, after that age production starts to drop slowly. Coenzyme Q10 concentration is the highest in most active organs, such as heart, liver, kidney, and pancreas.
Now, here we have an interesting information: with years level of Q10 starts to drop, but body needs for Q10 rise! This is the reason we must consume Q10 with food. Coenzyme is found in meat: beef, sardines, tuna, eggs, and vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, nuts and whole grains.
For illustration: 30 mg coenzyme is found in approximately half kilo sardines, or in one kilo beef, or in one kilo nuts.
Unfortunately, when food is thermally processed Q10 is partially destroyed. In order to get enough coenzyme Q10 it is best to eat raw food or to consume nutritive supplements.

What happens if body doesn’t get enough Q10?

With food in average people enter approximately from 5 to 20 mg of Q10 daily.
If someone would like to replace the lack of Q10, person should eat at least one kilo of fatty meat or would have to drink 20 liters of milk, and that certainly isn’t in harmony with the principles of healthy eating. On the other hand, if body lacks coenzyme Q10, person gets sick: cells without Q10 cannot transform food into cell energy. Consequences are biggest in organs, where highest levels of coenzyme are found.

How can I get enough Q10?
  
Natural coenzyme Q10 is an element, similar to vitamins, and soluble in water. Its natural color is dark yellow. Q10 is found in fatty foods, such as fish, red meat and peanut butter.

Body can profit more from Q10Vital than from natural Q10: Q10Vital cannot be destroyed during cooking or freezing.
