PHARMA NORD Bio-Quinon Active Q10 30mg (Coenzyme Q10) 30 Capsules

Bio-Quinon Q10 was created in 1990 and was one of the first Q10 preparations on the European market. Lightfast soft gelatin capsules each contain 30 mg of CoQ10 dissolved in vegetable oil. The active ingredient has a very good bioavailability. The oil in which the coenzyme is dispersed has been heated in a special way that allows the particles to dissolve completely. The better bioavailability of Bio-Quinon Q10 has been confirmed in many studies. Many years on the European market make Bio-Quinon Q10 one of the products with the best documented effect.


Bio-Quinon Q10

• It is one of the most sold Q10 supplements in decades due to its extensive bioavailability documentation
• It contains Q10, which is identical to the coenzyme Q10 produced endogenously by the human body
• It contains a natural form that is devoid of synthetic cis isomers. It does not contain any impurities found in other CoQ10 raw materials, most of which are undocumented
• The amount of Q10 in one capsule exceeds the amount of coenzyme Q10 that we usually get from the diet

Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that plays a key role in the metabolism of cellular energy. It actively contributes to the conversion of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, as well as alcohol to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule that stores energy in its chemical form. When a cell needs energy, it splits down the ATP molecule, releasing the energy trapped inside. The entire process takes place inside the cells in small bean-shaped structures called mitochondria. Coenzyme Q10 is found in all mitochondria. Muscle cells are especially energy-dependent and therefore contain far more mitochondria than other types of cells. The heart muscle is a good example of a cell-containing tissue that contains a large number of mitochondria and has a correspondingly high energy requirement. Coenzyme Q10 is also a powerful antioxidant.


Q10 as an antioxidant

• Coenzyme Q10 has the ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that may occur naturally, as by-products of metabolism in the body or as a result of external factors such as radiation or chemical pollutants. Substances with these properties are called antioxidants. Supported by other antioxidants, such as vitamin E, vitamin C and natural enzymes, CoQ10 is a defense mechanism against potentially harmful oxygen compounds.
• Q10 and cholesterol
• Coenzyme Q10 and cholesterol share the same biochemical pathway (cholesterol is also synthesized in the liver). Studies have shown that certain cholesterol-lowering drugs in the body can suppress the natural production of Q10.
• A very safe substance
• Even long-term coenzyme Q10 supplementation does not affect the endogenous production of this compound. There are few side effects associated with the use of CoQ10, which makes it a very safe substance.

There are several biochemical reasons for using coenzyme Q10 supplementation:

• Coenzyme Q10 is involved in energy metabolism, it has been shown that supplementation with this component increases energy production
• Coenzyme Q10 may be the most important lipid-soluble antioxidant in cell membranes and blood lipoproteins
• The synthesis of the body's own coenzyme Q10 decreases with age, even from the age of 20.
• The synthesis of CoQ10 in the body is to some extent related to that of cholesterol, therefore CoQ10 can be used in conjunction with certain types of cholesterol-lowering drugs.
