COENZYME Q10 (UBIQUINONE OR COQ10)
What is Q10?
Coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone is a vitamin-like substance and a fat-soluble antioxidant, which is particularly popular for its anti-ageing effect. Q10 is partly produced naturally by the human body, but must also be taken in with food.
WHAT EFFECT DOES Q10 HAVE?
The coenzyme fulfils various tasks in the human body. Among other things, it has an antioxidant effect and thus protects the cells from free radicals and works closely together with vitamin C and vitamin E. In addition, it also plays a major role in energy production and thus strengthens nerves, heart and muscles.
EFFECT OF Q10 ON THE SKIN
Q10 is particularly popular in the skin care industry because of its anti-ageing effect. It stimulates cell renewal, has an anti-inflammatory effect, strengthens the connective tissue, and fights free radicals, which are decisive for skin ageing processes.
OTHER EFFECTS OF Q10
High blood pressure: Q10 is said to have a blood pressure-lowering effect. In various studies, the blood pressure of patients could be lowered by taking Q10.
Migraine: The coenzyme has also been successful in the fight against migraine. When taken in high doses, it is said to reduce migraine attacks, alleviate pain and shorten the length of an attack by influencing the development of inflammation in the blood vessels.
Fertility: According to studies, Q10 increases the chances of pregnancy by improving egg quality and reducing the risk of pregnancy poisoning. But not only women can benefit from taking Q10 if they wish to have children. For example, an improvement in the motility of sperm has also been observed in men.
SYMPTOMS OF A Q10 DEFICIENCY
Experts disagree about whether there is actually a ubiquinone deficiency. What is clear is that Q10 production steadily decreases with age. As a result, we lose more and more energy with age and protect our cells less from free radicals. Supplementing Q10 in old age, for example, could improve general well-being. Possible symptoms of a "deficiency" are fatigue, tiredness, headaches, muscle weakness, palpitations and poor wound healing.
FOOD CONTAINING COENZYME Q10
Coenzyme Q10 can be absorbed naturally through food. The following foods contain the vitamin: cooking oils, legumes, soy, nuts, fish, eggs, aubergine, broccoli and spinach.
Our Born This Way Vitamins, which is the successor to our Stop The Clock Vitamins, and our new I am Woman Menopause Vitamins also contain coenzyme Q10 to stimulate cell renewal and tighten connective tissue. See for yourself!
NASSIM JAMALZADEH:
"As you can see, Q10 is indispensable, especially for women. Be it as an anti-ageing agent, but also for the desire to have children, Q10 can be used, and its effect should definitely not be underestimated."

FAQs about coenzyme Q10
In case of a strong overdose of more than 500 mg per day, side effects such as loss of appetite, stomach problems or even skin rashes may occur. However, hardly any side effects are known with smaller amounts.
Recommendations range from 30-300 mg depending on whether Q10 is to be taken for an acute problem or simply as a daily supplement. If Q10 is taken for migraines, the recommendations are 300-400 mg.
Yes, excessive dosages, which are far above the recommended amounts, can have various side effects such as headaches or even nausea.
No, Q10 (ubiquinone) should not be taken together with blood thinners. Especially not high doses, as coenzyme Q10 also has a thinning effect.
Experts recommend taking coenzyme Q10 for at least 1-3 months, as it usually takes a little while for the body to absorb enough Q10 again. However, there is nothing to be said against taking Q10 on a long-term basis.
