Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is part of the cell, more precisely the mitochondria - the energy powerhouses of our cells. This description already indicates an important function of coenzyme Q10.

Coenzyme Q10 is best known from anti-wrinkle creams. But coenzyme Q10 has other properties too.

Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that your body can produce itself. However, this natural ability can be impaired or reduced by various factors. This happens automatically as you get older, for example. It is assumed that the concentration in body tissue continues to decrease from the age of 20.

Coenzyme Q10 was first discovered in 1957 by researchers at the University of Wisconsin.

In your body, coenzyme Q10 is found both as ubiquinol and as ubiquinone. Both are active forms of coenzyme Q10. We use unbiquinone for indyvit. It is obtained through fermentation and is therefore 100% free of animal raw materials. Our Q10 is therefore vegan.

Coenzyme Q10 can be found in various foods, but usually only in small quantities. Good sources of coenzyme Q10 include:

Nuts and seeds (and their oils)
Onion
baby spinach
corn
sardines
mackerel
soybean
broccoli
avocado
Since coenzyme Q10 is a very sensitive substance, the food should be protected from strong light. To achieve the greatest possible effect, you should prepare the food gently or eat it raw if possible.
