A word from our specialist: Coenzyme Q10: is it a relevant anti-aging supplement?
The main indication for coenzyme Q10 is its action in our cells for energy production (mitochondria). In this context, its anti-aging aspect is interesting, as well as for chronic fatigue and heart disease. It is also documented in neurological diseases. It is a molecule that we produce naturally, precisely by the mitochondria, the energy factories of our cells. As we age and with certain diseases such as heart failure, we produce less of it, which poses problems. Cholesterol medications, statins, reduce the production of coenzyme Q10. The problem with coenzyme Q10 in Quebec, and only in Quebec, is that it is a substance that, by regulation, is under the control of the pharmacist. Everywhere else, it is a natural product or even a food. If a person has neuropathy, "needle" pain in the fingertips, strange sensations, anesthesia where there is no longer any sensation, coenzyme Q10 will be part of the cocktail of products to restart nerve conduction.
