April’s blossoms are intoxicating; it is the height of spring. With spring in full swing, summer is quietly approaching.

 

As the saying goes: ‘Spring drowsiness, summer lethargy, autumn naps, winter hibernation.’ As the weather gradually warms up, have you, my dears, also begun to feel the effects of spring drowsiness and summer lethargy?

 

As temperatures rise in spring, the body’s metabolism gradually increases, leading to a greater demand for energy and higher energy expenditure. Consequently, the body may experience some signs of maladjustment, such as an insufficient energy supply, which results in spring drowsiness and summer lethargy.

In summer, it’s not just our bodies that need a boost of energy—our skin cells need it too!

 

Today, I’d like to recommend a fantastic energy booster—Nanohealth CoQ10.

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like substance found in a variety of foods and tissues. It is the only naturally occurring fat-soluble antioxidant in the epidermis, helping to maintain cellular health and keep the body feeling vibrant and full of energy.

 

Coenzyme Q10 has also been extensively studied as an antioxidant in free radical chemistry.

 

Coenzyme Q10 is found within the mitochondria—the centre of cellular metabolism. The mitochondria are the body’s energy-producing powerhouses; whilst various chemical substances are converted into energy within them, large quantities of free radicals are also produced. Coenzyme Q10 is able to scavenge excess free radicals, reducing cellular exposure to them and thereby protecting the cells.

Coenzyme Q10 activates cellular respiration and promotes the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is why it is referred to by medical experts as ‘the source of cellular energy’.

 

Within the body, CoQ10 can switch between its oxidised (ubiquinone) and reduced (ubiquinol) forms, thereby enhancing the cells’ resistance to damage caused by external oxidative stressors.

 

However, as we age, the levels of CoQ10 in our cells gradually decline. To keep skin cells vibrant, we need to give them a little extra boost.

★★★ Anti-fatigue

 

Coenzyme Q10 is a natural antioxidant and cellular metabolic activator produced by the cells themselves. It protects and restores the structural integrity of biological membranes and stabilises membrane potential; as a non-specific immune enhancer for the body, it therefore exhibits excellent anti-fatigue properties.

 

★★★ Anti-ageing

 

Coenzyme Q10 effectively accelerates cell renewal and energy metabolism, enabling skin cells to actively absorb other nutrients from skincare products. This ensures that skincare ingredients do not simply remain on the skin’s surface; instead, when they penetrate deep into the skin, they rapidly provide additional energy to support the skin’s protective factors.

 

★★★ Antioxidant

 

Through changes in its redox structure, Coenzyme Q10 strengthens the cells’ resistance to damage from external oxidative factors, helping to repair oxidative damage to the skin and reduce wrinkles. Working in synergy with Vitamin E, it enhances cellular efficiency and restores the skin’s vitality. It is commonly used in various formulations designed to reduce wrinkles, repair the skin and improve firmness.

※ It is insoluble in water, making it difficult to incorporate into aqueous formulations;

 

※ It decomposes easily when exposed to light, causing the emulsion to fade in colour.

Suzhou Nanohealth utilises advanced nano-encapsulation technology to produce Coenzyme Q10 liposomes and Coenzyme Q10 nano-emulsions. This resolves the issues of water insolubility and difficulty in application within aqueous formulations, whilst also preventing colour fading. The encapsulation allows for the slow release of active ingredients, extending the product’s duration of action and significantly enhancing its bioavailability.

 

Nanohealth Coenzyme Q10 liposomes retain over 90 % of their Coenzyme Q10 content after 30 days of exposure to light, whilst the retention rate in ordinary emulsions drops to below 70%.

After 30 days at a high temperature of 50 degrees, the retention rate of Coenzyme Q10 in the liposomes remained at over 94%, whilst in a standard emulsion, the retention rate fell to 80%.

Liposome-encapsulated Coenzyme Q10 has a marked reparative effect on cellular oxidative damage caused by H₂O₂, and is capable of enhancing or restoring the vitality of damaged cells. The cell-repairing capacity of liposome-encapsulated CoQ10 is significantly higher than that of the pure substance, with cell vitality restored to nearly 100%.

As the sweltering summer heat sets in, let’s give our skin cells a boost together. Coenzyme Q10 infuses the skin with sustained vitality, getting your cells buzzing!
