Coenzyme Q10

Why take coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule naturally present in the body's cells. The terms "ubiquinone" and "ubiquinol" both refer to coenzyme Q10. When it is already bioavailable in the body, it is called ubiquinol. Present on cell membranes, it plays an essential role in their permeability, fluidity, and stability. CoQ 10 participates in the transfer of electrons within the mitochondrial respiratory chain (ATP). Mitochondria ensure energy production within cells, particularly those of the heart, brain, muscles, and liver.

What is Q10 for skin?

Coenzyme Q10 is one of the nutricosmetic active ingredients known to help the skin delay the appearance of the first signs of aging. As we age, the natural synthesis of CoQ 10 decreases. This decline begins at the age of 25 and drops by 25% from the age of 50. A CoQ 10 intake through dietary supplements can therefore be recommended to compensate for this loss. The nutricosmetic active ingredient coenzyme Q10 restores the skin's lipid barrier and promotes the proper functionality of cell membranes.

When to take coenzyme Q10?

This dietary supplement, based on Pyrroloquinoline Quinone, Coenzyme Q10, DMAE, DMG, and vitamin B2, is the first of its kind on the French market. This dietary supplement combines essential elements for the proper functioning of mitochondria. Biocyte's PQQ FORTE is intended for people experiencing a drop in energy and seeking help to combat cellular aging. Taking coenzyme Q10 as a dietary supplement should not replace a healthy, balanced diet. It is also possible to find sources of coenzyme Q10 in food.
