Il corpo umano è una “macchina perfetta”.
In ogni istante avvengono milioni di reazioni biochimiche che innescano processi biologici che permettono la corretta funzione di tutti gli organi vitali.
Queste reazioni avvengono all'interno delle cellule, per mezzo di strutture dedicate che si occupano di
- generare energia (attraverso la respirazione cellulare);
- ottimizzare l'ambiente (attraverso l'eliminazione delle tossine);
- generare cellule giovani e sane (attraverso la rigenerazione cellulare).
Tutto ciò avviene solo e unicamente in presenza di specifiche sostanze, quali enzimi, proteine e altri cofattori biologici.
La maggior parte di queste sostanze sono già presenti nel nostro corpo o vengono introdotte con la corretta alimentazione.
Proporzionalmente all'avanzare dell'età, le sostanze essenziali tendono a diminuire provocando un rallentamento dei processi, fino al punto che la sola alimentazione non rimane più sufficiente a soddisfare le richieste biologiche.
Numerosi studi scientifici hanno dimostrato che mediante una corretta integrazione di specifiche sostanze bioattive, si ripristinano i livelli delle sostanze e si ottimizzano tali processi.
Tra questi, alcuni degli elementi ad oggi più studiati dalla scienza internazionale che dimostrano efficaci sono:
Il Coenzima Q 10, il Resveratrolo, il D-ribosio e altri cofattori biologici come ad esempio vitamine e minerali.
It has a global effect on human health by slowing down the general clock of the aging process and extending longevity. Studies show that it has a positive effect on cellular fitness being engaged in cardiovascular function, reduces cancer-related mortality and delays neurodegeneration. Research also has shown that its supplementation has a positive impact on memory performance in the aging population as it declines the progression to dementia and promotes a cognitive and brain health.
CoQ10:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound, naturally synthesized in the human body. It is found in every cell in the mitochondrial membrane. It is involved in the production of cellular energy. CoQ10 is also the only lipid-soluble antioxidant manufactured within the body. The highest levels of CoQ10 are found in organs with high energy requirements, such as heart, liver and kidneys.
Role of Coq10 in the body:
It is involved in processes which produce more than 95% of energy. It is necessary for converting „food into energy“. Fights free radicals that damage our cells. Regenerates vitamins C and E back to their active, fully reduced forms. It is involved in electron transport chain.
Decrease of CoQ10 levels in the body:
Biosynthesis and concentration of CoQ10 in the most vital organs decreases rapidly with age. The decline starts after the age of 25. Smoking, stress, inadequate nutrition, statin therapy and several other factors additionally affect CoQ10 levels in the body. While endogenous biosynthesis is the major source of CoQ10 in the human body, we also obtain it from the diet. However, the average dietary intake is 3-6 mg, which is not enough to compensate for age- and disease-related decline of CoQ10. Hence, CoQ10 supplementation is often recommended after the age of 30.
CoQ10's properties make it helpful in the preservation of cells and the prevention and treatment of some chronic diseases.
Cardiovascular health
Several clinical studies investigated effects of CoQ10 supplementation on cardiovascular health, the most comprehensive being an international clinical study named Q-Symbio.
Neurodegenerative diseases
Several neurodegenerative diseases have been associated with CoQ10 deficiency. Clinical studies have researched its potential in treating those with impaired mitochondrial function or excessive oxidative damage.
CoQ10 slows the functional decline in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, improves Friedreich's ataxia and mitochondrial myopathies
