What is Coenzyme Q10 (Q10) and why is it such an important ingredient for hair care and hair health?

‍

Coenzyme Q10 (Q10), also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring, oil soluble compound found in every cell of the body. Itplays a crucial role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy source for cellular functions. CoQ10 also acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals and protect hair follicle cells from oxidative damage and oxidative stress, the main causes of hair aging.

In the context of hair anti-aging and hair health, Q10 offers several important benefits:

·     Antioxidant Protection: Q10 helps to combat oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage hair follicles and lead to premature aging of the hair as well as hair fall. By neutralizing free radicals, CoQ10 helps to maintain the health and vitality of the hair and can reverse the effects of hair aging.

·     Cellular Energy Production: Q10 plays a vital role in energy production within the hair follicles. Adequate levels of Q10are necessary to support the metabolic processes involved in hair growth and maintenance. By providing energy to the hair follicles, Q10 supports healthy hair growth and reduces the risk of hair thinning or loss.

·     Promotion of Hair Growth: Q10 has been shown to stimulate blood circulation to the scalp, which can promote the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. This enhance dcirculation can help to nourish the hair follicles and support optimal hair growth.

·     Protection Against Environmental Damage:Environmental factors such as pollution, UV radiation, and harsh chemicals can contribute to hair damage and aging. Q10's antioxidant properties help toprotect the hair from environmental damage, reducing the risk of hair breakage, split ends, and other signs of aging.

·     Natural Depletion of Q10 With Age: Recent research has shown that as we age, the natural levels of Q10 contained within our body cells decreases. It is now suggested that this reduction is a primary cause of aging in the human body because the body is less able to defend against environmentally-induced oxidative attack. The hair follicle is particularly susceptible to the effects of oxidative stress, the main cause of hair aging and hair loss.  

Overall, Coenzyme Q10 plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and vitality of the hair. By providing antioxidant protection, supporting energy production, and promoting healthy circulation to the scalp, Q10 can help to combat the signs of hair aging and promote strong, resilient hair.

Our Q10 hair products deliver nano-encapsulated Q10, an oil soluble ingredient, deep into the hair follicle to reduce follicular oxidative stress, increase hair follicle cellular energy levels and reverse the primary causes of hair aging.
