Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule found in all cells of the body and for this reason it is also called Ubiquinone. It is found in particular at the level of cellular mitochondria, where ATP (energy) synthesis takes place, which is essential for the proper functioning of all the cells in our body and consequently for our well-being.

A coenzyme is a non-protein substance that is required for enzymes (protein substance) to carry out their activity. In a nutshell, enzymatic reactions are made possible thanks to the presence of coenzymes, such as the best known A and Q. Coenzyme Q10 has an antioxidant action and acts on free radicals. Coenzyme Q10 delays oxidation giving the face a younger and fresher look.

Coenzyme Q10, in addition to having an antioxidant action, is able to restore the lipid barrier, promoting the proper functioning of cell membranes and carrying out a real protective action. In fact, Coenzyme Q10 is present in the skin not only at the level of the epidermis, but also in the lipids naturally present on the skin surface and constitutes a first barrier to external and internal oxidative attacks. For these reasons we can speak of an anti-aging effect.

Not only that, in recent years coenzyme Q10 has taken on an important role in the clinical and nutritional integration world.
