Q10
Q10, also known as coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone, is found in all cells of the body. The highest concentration is found in the heart, brain and muscles, but the intestinal mucosa, kidneys and liver also naturally have a higher level of Q10. The body has the ability to produce Q10 itself, but this ability decreases with age. As animals and plants also produce Q10, we also get it from our diet. The function of a coenzyme means that the substance contributes to the activity of enzymes without itself being consumed, i.e. a coenzyme can be "reused" to activate several enzyme processes in the body.
Energy and reduced fatigue
Vitamin C is a versatile vitamin that affects both energy metabolism and the immune system. In fact, research shows that vitamin C actively contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the maintenance of the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C also helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion, even during and after intense physical exercise.
Extra support from B2
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) also supports energy by contributing to normal energy metabolism and reducing fatigue and exhaustion. Like vitamin C, vitamin B2 has the ability to help protect cells against so-called oxidative stress, the biochemical processes in which the oxygen compounds created by the body itself (a side effect of the vital oxygen we breathe) can damage cells and organs.
