How effective is Co-Enzyme Q10 in Skin Care?
Wrinkles appear when skin loses its elasticity. This is due to decreased collagen production and collagen cross-linking. Everyday life, cell metabolism, exposure to sun and other environmental factors, toxins, cigarette smoke – all result in production of free radicals. Those overactive pesky molecules or atoms have odd electrons on their orbits and try to find a balance. They either give away the odd electron or find a pair for it, thus making another molecule unstable, turning it into another free radical. While this process is natural and unavoidable as a part of metabolism, too many free radicals cause dangerous chain reactions that destroy cellular compounds and can damage DNA, proteins and lipids (fats). When it comes to skin aging, free radicals interfere with collagen production and cause premature aging. Coenzyme Q10 has exceptional antioxidant properties. Studies show that it can effectively counteract free radical damage and provide significant protection against UVA-induced
