Coenzyme Q10—the energy guardian of the heart

Coenzyme Q10 is known for its role as a proton and electron carrier in cellular aerobic respiration and as a powerful antioxidant in the body. The role of Coenzyme Q10 in lipid membranes is similar to that of cholesterol. It can improve the stability of cell membranes by regulating the mechanical strength and permeability of lipid membranes, thereby maintaining the integrity of cell membrane structure and function. Clinically, it is mainly used for the adjuvant treatment of mild to moderate heart failure, and can also be used for the adjuvant treatment of hepatitis and cancer.

Coenzyme Q10 has two main effects on the heart: one is to help convert nutrients into energy, and the other is to resist lipid peroxidation. Coenzyme Q10 ensures sufficient blood and oxygen supply to the myocardium, preventing sudden heart disease caused by myocardial ischemia and hypoxia; unblocks blood vessels, activates the heart's internal environment, quickly dissolves plaque from the source, repairs blood vessel walls, and smoothes blood flow; it delays aging. The natural antioxidants in the human body can scavenge free radicals, prevent lipid peroxidation of blood vessel walls, and keep the heart young.
