Coenzyme Q10 body's own substance
Coenzyme Q10 (also known as ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring substance that occurs naturally in the human body. It is produced in the liver and plays an important role in your cells. It also occurs in small amounts in foods, such as meat and fish, and can also be taken as a supplement. It occurs naturally in the body and is present in every cell. Research shows that Co-Enzyme Q10 decreases in the body as we age.
What is Coenzyme Q10?
In 1957, during scientific research by the American doctor Frederick Crane into the heart of a cow, he discovered coenzyme Q10. A year later, English professor R.A. Morton managed to successfully isolate this substance. Furthermore, Morton found that CoQ10 occurs in many places in the body. All plant and animal cells contain CoQ10. He therefore gave the substance the name “ubiquinone”, which means “found everywhere”.
Q10 occurs naturally in meat, fish, poultry (especially organ meat), but also in nuts, beans and soy oil. Coenzyme Q10 supplement is a fat-soluble vitamin-like substance that is present in every cell of the human body. A coenzyme is a substance that is necessary for the functioning of enzymes in the body. Q10 levels start at low levels when we are very young, reach their peak in early adulthood and gradually decline after the age of 20.
Co-Enzyme Q10 effect
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is also called 'ubiquinone'. It is converted into ubiquinol in the body. A Q10 supplement is well tolerated by the body because it occurs naturally in the body. Moreover, it is found in some foods such as animal organs, vegetables and legumes. Because CoQ10 production decreases with age, adults aged 20 and over may benefit from taking CoQ10 as a supplement.
How is Coenzyme Q10 made in the body?
Coenzyme Q10 is produced in the human body by a number of different enzymatic reactions that take place in the cells, particularly in the mitochondria. The production of coenzyme Q10 in the body requires a number of different nutrients, including vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid and tyrosine.
The synthesis of coenzyme Q10 takes place in several steps, involving different enzymes.
- In the first step, tyrosine is converted into a substance called 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HB).
- Then 4-HB is converted into another substance called 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHB).
- In the third step, 3,4-DHB is combined with a substance called isopentenyl diphosphate (IPDP) to form an intermediate called geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP).
- Finally, GPP is further converted into coenzyme Q10 through various enzymatic reactions.
It is also possible to obtain it through nutritional supplements. In this case, coenzyme Q10 is not produced in the body, but taken as a dietary supplement.
