CoQ10

CoEnzymeQ10 *:: The most efficient manner in which to protect the skin from lipid peroxidation is now available in this vegetable ester, from glucose, form which not only will deliver the nutrients of CoQ10 but also impart skin smoothness and hydration.

What is Lipid Peroxidation?::

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is a free radical-related process that is associated mostly with cellular damage as a result of oxidative stress. It is the reaction of fats and oils with oxygen to form peroxides. As the skin is the third most fatty organ in the body, it is little wonder that the effects of lipid peroxidation should manifest itself as wrinkles and brown age spots, which are a direct by-product of lipid peroxidation.

What is CoEnzymeQ10?::

CoQ10, as it is often called, has at least three important roles in the body. It is part of the inner membrane of the mitochondria, which is the power station of the cells. It is also involved in the formulation of the energy-storing adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) in the citric acid cycle. CoQ10 is one of the most powerful, natural, antioxidants. It helps neutralize harmful free radicals, which is a key function in the prevention, and treatment, of premature aging.

When do I need it?::

Various factors, such as aging, stress and some medications, can lower the levels of CoQ10 in the body. As a result, the ability of cells to withstand stress and regenerate declines. Unfortunately, the levels of CoQ10 in the body almost inevitably decline with age. In fact, CoQ10 is regarded as one of the most accurate biomarkers of aging since its decline correlates so well with the aging process. In some studies, rodents treated with supplemental CoQ10 lived up to 30 percent longer than their untreated counterparts. In most people over thirty, levels of CoQ10 in the skin are below optimum, resulting in lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin and other important skin molecules. CoQ10-depleted skin is more prone to damage by free radicals, which are particularly abundant in the skin since it is exposed to the elements.

* even though we are a cosmetic facility and do not offer any materials for consumption (internal use) we will always source only top quality materials and especially nutrients (vitamins) which will always be pharmaceutical / food grade because the grade or purity of any material, but most especially true for nutrients, is of equal importance for skin care as it is for internal use or consumption
... do not be fooled by low priced nutrients as they may be industrial grade and intended for lab use and testing only and will not deliver performance or nutrition in skin care or consumption (internal use)
... just because it's CoQ10 and will even have the same CAS RN does not mean that any two are equivalent or equal in quality or purity
