Description

What is Idebenone™?

Idebenone is a dietary substance that is a Nutritional Analog™ of an essential nutrient, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is an important antioxidant component of the membranes that surround all body cells, as well as the membranes surrounding the various organelles (the “little organs” in our cells), such as mitochondria (which are the “power plants” of the cell). Idebenone is thought to enhance brain levels of serotonin and norepinephrine while stimulating Nerve Growth Factor (NGF – main factor in the nervous system responsible for nerve growth).

CoQ10’s pro-oxidant action.

When blood flow is seriously reduced to any part of the body, cellular O2 levels drop in the affected region, causing CoQ10 to produce damaging free radicals. Brain and spinal cord cells are especially prone to damage under these circumstances and may be irreparably damaged or even destroyed within minutes.

Idebenone’s potential nutrient benefits fall into five categories; antiaging, energy enhancement, cognition enhancement, organ protection and protector against excitatory amino acid neurotoxicity.

What are the Benefits of Idebenone?

The anti-aging benefits: Studies comparing heart tissue from young people with that from elderly people have shown almost no significant mitochondrial dysfunction in young hearts, with significant, often severe mitochondrial dysfunction in elderly hearts.

Idebenone can serve as a powerful mitochondrial free radical quencher, lessening the ever-increasing damage that occurs with age. This means much less degeneration of the entire body. Idebenone will work even better than CoQ10 to keep energy production high.

Energy enhancement: Studies have shown that Idebenone can tightly couple oxidation to energy production.

Cognition enhancement:

A variety of studies using brain cells, (animal and humans) have shown Idebenone’s ability to enhance brain structure and function. Keeping your Central Nervous System (CNS) clear of damaging free radicals!

Organ protector:

As our organs age or are damaged, we age and are damaged. Idebenone protects organs in many ways; it cushions them against hypoxic (low O2) and/or ischemic (poor blood flow) damage. Idebenone enhances normal ATP energy generation.

The free radical quencher: Idebenone is a powerful antioxidant, more so than CoQ10, and in some studies is 30 to 100 times more effective than vitamin E or vinpocetine as a free radical quencher within brain cells. Idebenone lessens the free radical induced mtDNA damage that accumulates exponentially over a lifetime, protecting from organ damage and aging.

Protection against excitatory amino acid (EAA) neurotoxicity: Glutamic acid and aspartic acid are the two chief EAA neurotransmitters in the human brain. Yet excessive amounts of EAA’s can accumulate in the fluid surrounding brain cells, causing damage and even death to nerve and glial cells through free radical mechanisms. Idebenone has shown dramatic protective effects against glutamate and other invasive toxicity.

Studies show that Idebenone enhances brain structure and function.
