What is Co-Enzyme Q-10?

In its pure form, Co-Q10 is a tasteless, odorless, yellow-orange crystalline powder. It is partially absorbed with our food, but is also produced in the body itself. Co-Q10 is naturally present in all human cells and is responsible for the body's energy production.

The energy supplied by food is transformed into body energy in the mitochondria, with the help of Co-Q10. It is only after this transformation that the energy contained in food can be used by the human body. 95% of all bodily energy requirements are transformed with the help of Co-Q10. It's therefore obvious that the organs requiring the most energy - such as the heart, lungs and liver - also have the highest levels of Co-Q10. Co-Q10 is very important for the human organism and cannot be replaced by any other substance.

Co-Q10 diffuses freely into the lipid bilayer, as it is a lipid-soluble benzoquinone with a long isoprenoid chain.

The history of Co-Q10

Co-Q10 was discovered several decades ago. For many years now, this vital substance has been known and appreciated as an essential supplement.

British scientist Peter Mitchell was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1978, following his discovery of the significant role played by Co-Q10 in energy production. Co-Q10 is involved in the respiratory chain, which produces energy that can be used by the cell in the form ofATP.

About product quality:

Production without additives is more expensive than production with additives, and is often associated with manual labor. Dr Clark's (DCRA) motto is: "As far as possible (sometimes a carrier is necessary), nothing more in the products than the active substance. The fewer components, the better". In short: uncompromising quality standards.
