Visiting drugstores, many are simply lost from a variety of medicines. The type of the counters forced by bubbles, tablets, capsules causes nearly awe. And very few people guess that the healthy human body itself develops components which will give odds to many drugs. To be convinced of it, we will consider one of similar connections known as vitamin Q (it is coenzyme, ubikhinon and a coenzyme).
What vitamin is?
Explaining what substance is, biochemists always note that this element represents the molecules of the nonprotein nature presented, mainly, in cellular mitochondrions.
If not to press in scientific terminology, then it will turn out that vitamin Q is quite widespread connection which is in structures of the majority of living cells. In pure form it is presented by the dense viscous liquid or fusible kristallika insoluble in water.
On the building this coenzyme is some kind of "colleague" of vitamins E and K. Vzglyanuv on his chemical formula, it is possible to be convinced that it shows complex mix of methyl, the quinone and other components together forming an isoprene chain.
Features of processing are explained by it: at high temperatures ubikhinon, as well as any structure with prevalence of vitamin Q, collapses (the same occurs also at hit on alkaline Wednesday).
Important! This coenzyme is extremely important for those who live in the busy cities or near highways: in addition, it also regulates breath, whenever possible filtering harmful impurity.
Widely raspostranen in the nature: it can be allocated from a cellular layer of plants and mushrooms, microorganisms and animals. In a human body there is a synthesis of this connection too.
However, during a disease such development is minimized. To that there is an explanation: owing to decrease in level of immunity less mevalonovy acid is produced (it also is the main raw materials for "production" of vitamin). Because of it the mentioned substance is not vitamin B his classical understanding.
It will be for certain interesting to you to learn what role vitamins B of life of athletes what vitamins raise immunity play and strengthen nervous a system and also what vitamins the best for growth and sight.
However, it does not affect its unique properties in any way. Many doctors call a coenzyme like Q power source, heart vitamin and nearly a youth elixir. Let's find out, whether so it actually.
Functions and advantage
Transferring electrons through a cellular membrane, ubikhinon it is connected to performance of functions, important for our organism, namely:
- to participation in power education process (it is counted that 95% of energy are activated thanks to presence of Q10);
- to formation of blood cells — erythrocytes;
- to normalization of level of cholesterol, indicators of lipidic circulation and a metabolism in general;
- to support of work of the most "power-intensive" bodies: heart and liver;
- to supply of skeletal muscles with nutritious connections.
Whether you know? Medicine of an ubikhinon was for the first time received in 1958. Then established also its chemical structure.
As you can see, this coenzyme does a lot of things for health. But it is not the full list of properties of natural antioxidant. In medicine (and other spheres) it is widely applied in such purposes:
- prevention of coronary heart disease;
- prevention of complications at patients with diabetes;
- regulation of the haematogenic process;
- normalization of functions of a thymus;
- strengthening of immunity;
- treatment of a syndrome VVD (vegeto-vascular dystonia), violations in work of vascular and nervous systems;
- during recovery of muscles and ligaments;
- if there is a need to take off fatigue or the main symptoms of an asthenic syndrome or a depression;
- support of health of a fruit at pregnancy;
- protection of cages and primary structures of DNA.
We advise to learn what vitamins are necessary for pregnant women and the nursing mothers.
Q10 and for prevention of cell aging undertakes. Thanks to this property ubikhinon it is used for production of the creams and cosmetic mixes designed to adjust a figure. He is not deprived and of attention of athletes: weight-lifters noted long ago gels which when imposing on skin play a role of the relaksant and the power engineering specialist at the same time.
Important! Medicines on the basis of an ubikhinon can be used for treatment of an allergy — in particular hay fever and the complicated asthma. But before their use surely read the instruction: such means have side effects too.
Having learned about unique properties which coenzyme Q10 has, it is logical to ask, and where exactly it contains or rather in what food its concentration will be the greatest.
Where contains: food
Many habitual dishes and products are rich with vitamin Q. For convenience we will break them into two groups, depending on origin.
Vegetable
In this category superiority behind oils: olive and sunflower. Though soy oil will be the unconditional leader here — about 8.5-8.7 mg of a coenzyme are the share of 100 g. It is a lot of it and in red palm (on average 5.4 mg on the same quantity) though this product demands accuracy in use. Among fresh fruits we will note peanut (2.8 mg / 100) and sesame with pistachios. The last contain approximately equal dose of an ubikhinon: from 1.8 to 2.3 mg. The boiled broccolis and a cauliflower in the same state "give" 0.4-0.5 mg of useful connection on the same weight.
Fresh strawberry or citrus (in particular, oranges) contain only 0.1 mg. Though for watery fruits it is very good figure. Nutritionists know that this vitamin is available in wheaten sprouts and other cereal cultures. But more or less exact figures are not removed yet.
Animals
Perhaps, this the first that occurs at a mention of useful substances. Chicken meat and beef, pork and fish along with eggs, a liver and heart — all this is the main source of an ubikhinon for modern people.
Whether you know? The Japanese physicians and biologists were pioneers in development of this coenzyme: they in 1965 began to apply connections of Q type to fight against diseases of heart and vessels.
It will be useful for you to esteem how avitaminosis is shown and what leads deficiency of vitamins to.
The picture which will open at acquaintance with concrete figures is more surprising by that. So, in a 100-gram portion of fried beef there will be only 3-3.1 mg of a valuable coenzyme. The fried chicken delivers in an organism and that less — 1.6 mg. The most useful trout on couple has 1-1.3 mg whereas the hard-boiled egg — only 0.1 mg.
Despite this, the main part of coenzymes gets to our organism at the use of meat or fish dishes. Everything is simple: losing to vegetable products in percentage, they traditionally are ahead of them in respect of specific weight (after all meat, eggs and an offal are consumed more, than nutlets, cereals and oils).
Having got acquainted with what products and doses contain useful coenzyme Q10, many ask a question what safe norm of its use.
Whether there is a standard daily rate
Let's begin with the fact that nutritionists meanwhile did not remove the uniform standard figure. It is connected with the fact that the organism of the healthy person itself is capable to develop enough a coenzyme (the indicator will be especially individual). Daily it is supplemented by 3-5 more mg of the connection which arrived together with food. Such, let and strongly "average" figure, nutritionists operate.
They with cardiologists consider at the same time that optimum standard daily rate for adults is the dose in 30-45 mg. Besides, this average. So, to office employee there will be enough 10-30 mg whereas the people occupied on hard physical work or to athletes need already 30-60 mg.
Important! The maximum permissible therapeutic dose is in limits of 120-360 mg/days. The concrete number is influenced by a set of factors: beginning from age and finishing early with the postponed diseases.
For the period of rehabilitation and recovery the dose is increased, being guided by a condition of the patient and his weight. The same concerns also future mothers and also women during breastfeeding. Of course, reception has to do well and be safe.
Shortage and surplus
Any biologically active connection demands fair accuracy. Oversights in a dosage or sharp transition to the new menu can entail physiological deviations which remind of themselves characteristic symptoms.
Shortcoming
At synthesis of an ubikhinon in a healthy organism its deficiency is improbable. However in case of a disease the similar development is minimized, and in this plan chronic diseases are the most dangerous. With the present course of events useful substance is practically not produced that is fraught with risk of development of anemia which will hardly be "taken" by other vitamins.
From the same row — system dysfunction of a myocardium (heart failure can result) and dystrophy of skeletal muscles.
Study advantage of A, D, D3, E, F, R, V1, V2, V6, V15, U, H, S vitamins for a human body.
Whether there is an overdose
The surplus can evolve only at the excessive use of medicines from coenzyme Q10 in the form of injections. The organism will react to the overestimated dose with the pulling or cutting pains around a stomach which pass into a stage of problems with a chair over time (usually it is diarrhea).
Whether you know? As separate substance, this connection was revealed in 1940. But its nature was described only in fifteen years.
Emetic desires or nausea meet slightly less often. But they are not excluded at all — the condition of gastrointestinal ways acts as a decisive factor.
Medicines with Q (ubikhinon)
This substance is included into many medical compositions, but at the same time in itself is full-fledged medicine.
It is about the capsules "Coenzyme Q10" which are used for fight against a number of diseases — from chronic asthma to heart troubles. So the broad spectrum of activity is caused by interaction of an ubikhinon with its "amplifiers" (soy oil, a chlorophyll and others).
Other mass drugs on the basis of this coenzyme are:
- "Q10 Vit". In fact, an analog of the described capsules with addition of vitamins of group B, D, K and fat an omega acids.
- Tablets "Kardio Kapilar". Their appointment — prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It is remarkable that here it is four times more ascorbic acid, than the ubikhinon — 40 mg against 10 on a tablet.
- Drops of Kudesang. The all-strengthening solution with vitamin E impurity which is increasing working capacity and slowing down cell aging. Is issued also in the form of tablets.
Important! Pay attention to that fact that any, even the most useful medicine, it is necessary to accept moderately.
- Solgar Nutrikoenzim capsules. Powerful antioxidant which suits practically all (except for pregnant women). Active ingredient is complemented with soy lecithin, oil of rice bran and yellow beeswax. In drugstores one more kind of medicine comes across — with alpha lipoic acid.
All these structures have analogs, but such names most often appear in recipes. No wonder, medical practice proved their efficiency for patients of different age.
Vitamin interaction
Coenzyme Q10 which contains in many structures is very useful, but it is necessary to represent how it interacts with other connections and in what it is shown.
The speed of synthesis and process of splitting are influenced by such factors as presence of other fats which came to intestines with food and also density of bile and the sizes of the intestines. For example, with lipids (which are present at vegetable oils) the coenzyme is acquired very quickly what you will not tell about carbohydrates.
At joint intake of coenzyme with the anticoagulants which are slowing down blood condensation the decrease in efficiency of the last is observed (some hematologists claim that such falling will be at least quadruple). With the drugs lowering the cholesterol level, a reverse situation — they are capable to reduce the maintenance of an ubikhinon in an organism.
Whether you know? Ascorbic acid known to all in its habitual look was synthesized in 1933 efforts of the Swiss biologists.
As for "pure" vitamins of other groups, data on complications after their joint welcome with coenzyme it is not got.
Harm and side effects
Having convinced of advantage of a coenzyme of Q, you should not forget that even such useful means has the contraindications. That they did not turn back complications, it is even up to one reception better to consult to the doctor.
The doctor can impose the ban if there are such problems with health as:
- intolerance of medicines or their components;
- sharp glomerulonefrit;
- delay of warm reductions (50 in a minute and less);
- stomach ulcer at an aggravation stage.
The extra care should be observed to the people inclined to fast turning of blood and pregnant women. For them concrete medicines and doses are appointed only by the treating expert, with caution to the state of health and data of the anamnesis — any self-treatment.
Side effects are shown quite seldom. Generally it is insomnia or heartburn and also nausea. In isolated cases business reaches allergic skin reactions. Now you it is aware, than vitamin Q and what it is obliged by the broad action to is useful. We hope, our readers will note this information, without having forgotten at the same time and about precautionary measures. Health all!
