Coenzyme Q10 has two isomers, namely, reducing coenzyme Q10 and oxidizing Coenzyme Q10. The three-dimensional structure of the two are mirror images of each other. When reducing coenzyme Q10 removes free radicals and prevents the peroxidation of lipids and proteins, oxidizing coenzyme Q10 is generated. So what are the differences between the reduced and oxidized coenzyme Q10 capsules? It mainly lies in the aspects of absorption and effect. Let's have a detailed understanding of the difference between the two and the role of reductive coenzyme q10.

First, the difference between the reduced and oxidized coenzyme Q10 capsules

1. Oxidizing coenzyme Q10

Oxidized Coenzyme Q10 is the coenzyme Q10 product we usually buy, which is also the common coenzyme Q10 product, the English name is "Coenzyme Q10", the product identifier is "Co-Q10", also known as panquinone.

2. Reducing coenzyme Q10

Reduced Coenzyme Q10, called "Reduced coenzyme Q10", is often shown as "Reduced Coenzyme Q10" on product packaging labels, and is also known as panthenol. It is a new product developed by nutritionists on the basis of oxidized coenzyme Q10.

3. The effect of reducing coenzyme Q10 is more direct

In order to understand the reducing coenzyme, we should first understand the principle of coenzyme Q10 after entering the human body. After the ordinary coenzyme Q10 capsule enters the human body, it can not be directly used by the body temporarily after being absorbed by the stomach and intestines. The human body also needs to undergo a conversion of dehydrogenase. The converted form is called the reductive form, which is more direct and effective for human use. Therefore, compared with oxidized coenzyme Q10, reduced coenzyme Q10 plays a more direct role in human metabolism.

4. Good absorption of reductive coenzyme Q10

Therefore, it can be seen that compared with ordinary coenzyme Q10, reduced coenzyme Q10 has higher absorbability, higher bioavailability, and can reach the same in vivo level with a smaller dose, and faster.

5. The effect of reducing coenzyme Q10 is good

And the reduced-form products are aimed at people over 40 and those with chronic health conditions that require high doses. For example, for elderly people with chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the effect of taking reduced products is relatively better.

Second, the role of reducing coenzyme q10

Reductive coenzyme Q10 has been widely used in health food and skin care products in developed countries.

1, heart brain cells add energy

CoQ10H2 can improve the utilization of oxygen molecules in myocardial and brain cells, and promote the formation of mitochondrial ATP, which is suitable for the treatment of ischemic heart disease and encephalopathy.

2, super anti-oxidation

CoQ10H2 actively meets the electron demand of free radicals and inhibits the formation of superoxide, which not only prevents the oxidative reaction of vascular endothelium, but also prevents the oxidative damage of blood reperfusion.

3. Neuroprotective agent

In the treatment of Parkinson's disease, the reduced coenzyme Q10 can inhibit the destruction of nerve tissue by dopamine, maintain the gradient concentration difference of proton inside and outside nerve cell membrane, and protect calcium ion channels.

4. Immune enhancers

CoQ10H2 activates the granulocyte -- monocyte system, improves the number and activity of T cells, B cells, granulocytes, macrophages and NK cells, enhances immunity, and has an enhancement effect on radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

5, hypoglycemic, hypoglycemic, lipid lowering

CoQ10H2 has insulin-like function, which can reduce blood glucose concentration.

CoQ10H2 prevents oxidative damage of vascular endothelial cells, promotes release of NO and PGI2, relaxes vascular smooth muscle and reduces peripheral resistance. Some antihypertensive drugs have damage to myocardial cells, and CoQ10H2 supplementation can reduce the side effects of such antihypertensive drugs.

CoQ10H2 inhibits low density lipoprotein content. Statins lipid-lowering drugs inhibit the self-production of coenzyme Q10 by the human body. Clinically, statins have been used in combination with CoQ10H2, which is known as a statin companion.

6, protect the liver and kidney

CoQ10H2 can resist the liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride, improve the activity of liver cells, promote the self-repair of liver cells and liver glycogen formation.

CoQ10H2 alleviates the influence of fluid pressure on the glomerular permeable membrane and maintains normal filtration function.

7. Prevent atherosclerosis

CoQ10H2 protects vascular endothelial cells, reduces blood LDL content and prevents atherosclerosis.

8. Improve chronic respiratory diseases

Supplement exogenous CoQ10H2, promote sputum thinning and exhalation, improve respiratory function. Reducing the amount of histamine in the lungs of asthmatic patients can help to control asthma by forcing allergens away from target cells.

9. Beauty and skin care

Oral administration of CoQ10H2 can prevent skin collagen from being degraded, ensure skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and whiten skin.

There are many reductive coenzyme Q10 brands on the market. Although the price is much more expensive than ordinary coenzyme products, the quality is also much higher, and the cost performance is still good. If economic conditions permit, it is suggested to give priority to the reduced prototype products. For specific effects, you can also go to the coenzyme Q10 zone to learn about the product information and the feedback of the effect of users, and choose according to your own situation.
