Co-enzyme Q10, also called "Co-Q10" is an antioxidant present in many foods, especially meat and seafood-n. Being a soluble compound, it resembles vitamin E and K by their chemical composition and by how they act. However, it does not belong in class vitamins because, unlike them, Co-Q10 is produced by the human body. The role of co-enzymes is to allow that energy production by body cells prevent oxidation of cell membranes. Fingernail infections can be cured using this co-enzyme.

Main method for obtaining Co-Q10 is the fermentation of beet or cane sugar with a special type of yeast. Co-enzyme Q10 began to be widely used in Japan since 1974, when the government approved its use in treating fingernail infections. In addition, co-enzyme Q10 is known and widespread in Europe and Russia, but its popularity has fallen because of high cost.

Currently it is used to prevent fingernail infections such as fungus fingernails, mycosis, or melanoma fingernails. In addition, co-enzyme Q10 is also included to treat the following diseases: diabetes, hypertension, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophy, chronic fatigue, AIDS and male infertility. This co-enzyme can be applied topically to treat periodontal disease and prevent wrinkles.

Several years ago, co-enzyme Q10 was a popular dietary supplement because it is considered that prevent aging, cure cancer and various skin infections and increases energy levels in the body. Basis of these ideas was more theoretical: from the discovery that co-enzyme Q10 level is much higher than those in healthy people age or and sick, was supposed to reduce the amount of antioxidants would cause some manifestations of aging.

Thus, it was concluded that by restoring levels of antioxidants, restoring the body's chemical balance, might get even stop the aging process. The original theory was taken as truth, without being proven in practice. However, in March 2000 the results of scientific testing have shown that anti-aging properties of Co-Q10 are insignificant. Yes, the antioxidant decreases with age, but the administrations of Co-Q10 supplements show no effect.

In terms of prevention of fingernail infections, the role of co-enzyme Q10 has not yet been elucidated. There are studies that have shown that people with certain fingernail infections, presents a lower level of co-enzyme Q10 than healthy. It was also shown that long-term treatment with co-enzyme Q10 in patients with congestive fingernail infections, improves resistance to a small extent effort and quality of life.

Other studies have shown positive effects of the administration of Co-Q10 in patients with angina and hypertension. It was also shown that this antioxidant reduced cardioid toxicity of chemotherapy. Case studies have shown, after administration of co-enzyme Q10, improving body functions in patients infected with Huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy, and strengthening the immune system in people infected with AIDS.

There were however highlighted significant improvements in diabetes and periodontal disease. Clinical trials after administration of co-enzyme Q10 report that there were no serious side effects. Some people had accused the temporary nausea. Food for Thought Stating (drugs that reduce cholesterol) and some oral medicines used to treat diabetes, reduced co-enzyme Q10 levels. For administration, the daily recommended dose of Co-Q10 is 50-200 mg / day.
