Idebenone is a natural variant of one of the body’s most essential biochemicals - coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is an important antioxidant which surrounds all cells including those within the mitochondria or the body’s energy production plants which power almost every activity. To put it simply without CoQ10 or a good substitute our lives will soon end. It is felt that after nearly 20 years of research that Idebenone is even better than CoQ10. If somebody suffers from a heart attack, stroke or trauma to name but a few there is a chronic reduction of blood flow as a result. This in turn causes cellular and mitochondrial oxygen levels to rapidly drop thus creating huge amounts of free radicals to be formed and discontinued energy production. The two most susceptible areas in this scenario are the brain and spinal cord cells. The main difference between Idebenone and CoQ10 is that under these low oxygen conditions CoQ10 will create free radicals but Idebenone prevents free radical damage and maintains normal energy production. Studies comparing heart tissue from young people with that from elderly people have shown almost no significant mitochondrial dysfunction in young hearts, with significant, often severe mitochondrial dysfunction in elderly hearts. Idebenone is a very potent protector of the mitochondria so its anti-aging and energy enhancing benefits are plain to see. Idebenone has also shown great promise in its studies concerning cognitive enhancement. It has demonstrated its ability to enhance and increase serotonin, dopamine, adrenalin and noradrenalin production. This along with better nerve function and glucose utilization helps with memory and learning abilities and has therefore been used to treat Alzheimer’s Disease and other senile dementias. One of the most exciting advantages of Idebenone use is its power of organ protection. As we grow older the blood flow to our organs diminishes due to arteriosclerosis or impaired heart efficiency. With less oxygen getting to the organs, less repair can occur and more free radicals are created. Once too many cells within an organ are dysfunctional or dead it fails. Once again because Idebenone protects against poor oxygen supply and the formation of free radicals it prolongs the efficiency of the cells and therefore the life of the organs. Idebenone shows so many advantages it ought to be one of the most important energising products in your anti-aging line up. It has a synergy with other anti-aging drugs like Hydergine, Piracetam , Vinpocetine, and Deprenyl so if you are already using such products one tablet a day should suffice. For other more serious conditions the dosage could be increased. As always consult with your medical professional before taking any such products. Approved Uses © IAS Ltd. |
