Anti-Wrinkle Protection: Coenzyme Q10. by Natalie Katsman

Coenzyme Q10 was discovered in 1957. This vitamin-like

substance, present in every cell of the body, is vitally

important for cell functioning: it plays a major role in

energy production and is a powerful antioxidant.

Doctors and researchers around the globe have been

investigating CoQ10, and now it is used for a variety

of ailments and as a part of preventive care:

* CoQ10 is needed for anything that requires energy:

heart and liver functioning, sperm production, muscle

activity

* it boosts immune system

* shown to be effective in treatment of gum diseases

* lowers blood pressure

* it is used for cancer treatment and was noticed to reduce

tumors.

Human body has the ability to make its own CoQ10, but after

the age of 20 the production level declines, but the demand

grows. Foods highest in coenzyme CoQ10 include beef,

spinach, sardines, albacore tuna, and peanuts. Unfortunately,

high temperatures that we use to cook meals will affect the

coenzyme. That is why older people and those who want to use

CoQ10 for therapeutic effect will benefit from taking it as

a supplement.

How effective is CoQ10 in skin care?

Wrinkles appear when skin loses its elasticity. This is due

to decreased collagen production and collagen crosslinking.
