Can I consume enough CoQ10 with food only?
We can consume some CoQ10 with food, but the quantities in food are far too little, to fully substitute endogenous synthesis of CoQ10. Even if we consumed CoQ10 rich food – cooking and drying destroys CoQ10. If we wanted to fully subsitute deficit of CoQ10 with food, we would have to consume at least half a kilogram or one kilogram of meat or 20 liters of whole milk, which is against healthy dietary recommendations.
What is betaglucan?
Beta-glucans are natural polysaccharides or sugars classified as fiber. They are found in the cell walls of yeasts and bacteria, but are also found in mushrooms, grains and seaweed. Beta-glucans are natural stimulators of the cells of the immune system. When Beta-glucan enters our body, it recognizes it as a foreign substance. It also activates other cells of the immune system and the whole response mechanism, for it to become faster and more efficient.
“To put it in simpler terms: Beta-glucans put the cells of the immune system on ‘high alert’ to deal with potential attackers.”
What is vitamin D?
Vitamin D plays an extremely important role in our body. It contributes to the normal absorption of calcium, thereby maintaining healthy bones and teeth. At the same time, it also contributes to the functioning of muscles and the immune system, and its deficiency can lead to many health problems. Vitamin D, also called the “sunshine vitamin”, is formed by the human body when exposed to sunlight (UVB). With sufficient exposure* to the sun’s rays in the summer, people in moderate climates have sufficient amounts of vitamin D. Unfortunately, different seasons come with different amounts of sunlight, which sometimes makes it impossible for us to meet our daily needs for this vitamin. Therefore, we must supplement it with an additional input, something that is also recommended by health professionals.
