Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 or "ubiquinone" is a fat-soluble molecule that plays an essential role in the proper functioning of the mitochondria, the intracellular organelles that act as precious "power plants" of our cells. Mitochondria play a central role in the cellular respiration process, through which they produce the energy contained in food, transformed and accumulate it in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), preserved and ready for use, which we find present throughout the body and in abundance in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage, helping to strengthen the immune system, which favors the physiological function of the heart and its protection, intervening in the maintenance of neurocerebral health, in the maintenance of male fertility, in counteracting consequences of diabetic states, and has an interesting skin "anti-aging" action. With age, the concentration of coenzyme Q10 decreases, resulting in a decrease in both energy efficiency and antioxidant action, thus favoring the aging processes. Lower levels of this enzyme are also found in the presence of heart disease, diabetes, some neurodegenerative pathologies, and in various other pathologies, but lower Q10 values are also found in athletes, in particular in endurance sports. Coenzyme Q10 is well tolerated and generally does not produce any side effects, but beware that it could reduce the effectiveness of some chemotherapy drugs, antihypertensive drugs and warfarin.
