Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is an important factor when it comes to providing your mitochondria with energy. 1 And this can be reflected in your performance during training. And selenium? The trace element can bind free radicals, which in turn protects your cells from oxidative damage 2,3 , and can support your muscles during training. 4
Q10 is a substance produced naturally in the body and stored in the mitochondria of cells. However, it can be useful to supply your body with Q10 from the outside. Why? With increased muscle strain and activity, the need for coenzyme Q10 also increases. And healthy mitochondria are very important because they are the "power plants of your body", help to produce energy and can protect cells from oxidative damage and disease-causing bacteria or viruses. 5 Accordingly, coenzyme Q10 is a natural energy supplier and an important factor in energy production, especially in muscle cells.
Antioxidant
Q10? Check! Selenium? This essential trace element is an essential component of proteins and enzymes and, like Q10, functions as an antioxidant. 6
Keep in mind:Antioxidants protect your cells from oxidative damage, as large amounts of free radicals can attack your cells and even the DNA within them, which in the worst case can impair normal cell functions. Damaged cells do not work very well, which is why oxidative stress and free radicals are rightly associated with a number of health problems. 7
Oxidative stress can reduce muscle function and thus your athletic performance 8 , because impaired mitochondrial function can reduce muscle energy: This makes it harder for your muscles to contract effectively, which impacts your training.³
But no worries:Our ESN Pro Series Q10 + Selenium can support your athletic performance by reducing oxidative stress in the cells 3 and thus maintaining the function of your mitochondria. 9 It can also help you to optimize your performance while supporting your health and regeneration. 10,11,12
