Coenzyme Q10 is a type of coenzyme present in the body that supports energy production. Its levels are said to decrease with age, and it is attracting attention in health maintenance and beauty. Although found in meat and fish, Japanese people are said to only get about 5mg per day from their diet, making it difficult to obtain sufficient amounts from regular meals. ■ Research Examples of Functional Ingredient ● Approaching 'Skin Concerns' - Changes in Skin Turnover and Moisture When healthy adult women who perceived skin issues consumed 100mg of reduced coenzyme Q10 per day, significant differences were observed in stratum corneum water content after 4 weeks and in stratum corneum cell area after 8 weeks, compared to those who did not consume it. ● Approaching 'Fatigue' - Changes in Physical and Mental Fatigue When healthy adult men and women with higher stress levels consumed 100mg of reduced coenzyme Q10 per day, significant differences were observed in temporary physical and mental fatigue after 4 weeks, compared to those who did not consume it. *These are examples of representative clinical trial results from studies adopted in research reviews and are not results of clinical trials using this specific product. ■ About Foods with Function Claims ・Foods with Function Claims are not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease, unlike pharmaceuticals. ・Unlike Foods for Specified Health Uses, their functionality and safety have not been evaluated by the national government.
