Coenzyme Q10 is a compound that exists naturally in the human body. It participates in energy metabolism in cells in the form of coenzymes and has an antioxidant effect. It participates in the electron transport chain and aerobic respiration in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. It is a natural antioxidant and cell metabolism initiator, which can maintain the health of various mechanism cells in the body.
In 1970. American scholar Bliznakov proved through animal experiments that coenzyme Q10 can stimulate rat phagocytes and increase the phagocytic rate of phagocytes, the guardian of the body’s immune system, and thus proposed for the first time that coenzyme Q10 has the effect of enhancing immunity.
Later, the scholar further concluded through multiple animal experiments that coenzyme Q10 can enhance the host’s immunity by stimulating the host’s defense system (including cellular immunity and humoral immunity), and enhance the resistance of experimental mice to experimental infections caused by various infectious factors (including viruses, bacteria and parasites, etc.).
Main features:
1. The antioxidant effect of coenzyme Q10 can protect immune cells from damage by oxygen free radicals and other harmful substances, thereby maintaining the normal function and activity of immune cells.
2. Coenzyme Q10 is related to the number and function of T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are one of the important cell types in the immune system that can resist infection and other diseases. Coenzyme Q10 can enhance the overall response ability of the immune system by regulating the function of T lymphocytes.
3. Coenzyme Q10 can also stimulate humoral immunity and promote the production of antibodies. Antibodies are an important molecule in the immune system that can specifically bind to and neutralize foreign pathogens, thereby protecting the body from infection.
