Here at Hangover Heaven, we’re committed to creating products that use fast-acting, high-quality ingredients your body needs to function properly. After all, for the best treatment and results, you need the best ingredients. One of our essential ingredients, CoQ10, is an important part of a healthy diet, but many people don’t know what exactly it is or how beneficial it can be to the body.
To learn more about CoQ10 and its many positive health benefits, read on!
What is CoQ10?
CoQ10 is an enzyme that helps to create energy and prevent oxidative stress. Short for the enzyme Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10 is generated in mitochondria, the powerhouse of a cell that provides them with the energy they need to properly function. CoQ10 also acts as an antioxidant to prevent cell damage and chronic diseases.
CoQ10 is prevalent in a variety of different foods common in most adults’ diets, including organ meats like kidney or liver, meats like chicken and pork, fatty fish, vegetables like spinach and broccoli, as well as different vegetable oils.
However, as we age, our bodies decrease the production of CoQ10. Even though most people can get the amount of this compound in their daily diet, it can be beneficial to add in a dietary supplement of CoQ10 to boost your body’s production. The common dosage of a CoQ10 supplement ranges from 90mg to 200mg. Although the body can tolerate higher-end dosages of this compound around 1,200mg, side effects are more likely to occur with the higher dose, even if side effects as a whole are not common with this supplement.
What are the Health Benefits of CoQ10?
Over the years, CoQ10 has been used to treat a variety of health conditions due to its key roles in the body. CoQ10 supplements can help benefit your body by lowering your blood pressure, improving heart-condition symptoms, reducing headaches, and decreasing oxidative stress from both the environment and individual lifestyle choices.
CoQ10 is also used for:
- Preventative treatment for migraines
- Slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease
- Supporting the metabolism of individuals with type 2 diabetes
- Protecting the lungs against oxidative stress
What Does CoQ10 Do for Hangovers?
A hangover prevention pill is one of the best ways to prevent a hangover after a night of drinking. By taking a hangover prevention pill before you start drinking, you likely won’t experience the severity of the unpleasant symptoms associated with hangovers. CoQ10 helps by neutralizing free radicals that cause oxidative stress, as well as blocking oxidative damage to your liver. Additionally, CoQ10 will help other nutrients depleted from drinking alcohol – such as zinc and vitamins B, D, C and E – recycle and become useful once more.
Hangover Heaven uses CoQ10 in our liver support pills, so you can see for yourself the benefits taurine, alpha lipoic acid, and other vitamins and nutrients have to offer.
