Q10

Uses
Q10 (Q10 Coenzyme/Lecithin) is a special dietary supplement for adults that is designed to boost the function of the organs in the body while also energising the cells and acting as an antioxidant. This increase in energy may have something to do with affecting the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphte), a molecule which is used as a coenzyme to transport energy in the cells, thereby boosting energy levels and relieving fatigue.

One of the active ingredients (Q10) plays a vital role in the maintenance of proper organ function. In addition to improving the ability to exercise, patients have also used it for migraine, mitochondrial disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, relieving muscle pain caused by statins, fertility problems, hair loss caused by certain medicines and various other conditions.

The other ingredient in this supplement (lecithin) occurs in soya beans and is widely considered to be vital for the cells of the body. After ingestion, the body converts it into a substance known as acetylcholine. This molecule functions as a neurotransmitter in the nervous system and activates muscles. It is believed by some that problems related to the brain's cholinergic system may contribute to certain Alzheimer's symptoms. This ingredient's affects on the nervous system may be beneficial if used in dementia and Alzheimer's patients.
