Hubert Czerniak attributes a possible beneficial effect on ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis to coenzyme Q10.
- Coenzyme Q10 is found in large amounts in the heart, and its structure resembles that of vitamin E.
- According to Henryk Różański, vitamin E is a natural antioxidant and supports healthy muscles and the protection of mitochondria.
- Hubert Czerniak says that coenzyme Q10 protects vitamin E from oxidation, and through it indirectly protects cell membranes.
What the authors write
Henryk Różański
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant and supports healthy muscles and the protection of mitochondria.
„Vitamin E is essential for maintaining healthy muscles and fertility. It is a natural antioxidant that removes free radicals and peroxides. It slows the aging process and muscle deterioration. It speeds up the removal of toxic nitrosamines and components of tobacco smoke from the body.”Witamina E jest niezbędna do utrzymania prawidłowego stanu umięśnienia ciała oraz płodności. Należy do naturalnych antyoksydantów, wymiataczy wolnych rodników i nadtlenków. Spowalnia procesy starzenia i degradacji mięśni. Przyśpiesza wydalanie z organizmu toksycznych nitrozamin i składników dymu tytoniowego.
Hubert Czerniak
Coenzyme Q10 is said to protect vitamin E from oxidation and, through it, indirectly protect cell membranes.
„Coenzyme Q10 protects vitamin E from oxidation. Vitamin E is embedded in cell membranes and prevents it from being oxidized. So, by “protecting” vitamin E, ubiquinone indirectly protects cell membranes. It also has a protective effect, preventing the oxidation of lipids—both those in membranes and those inside blood vessels.”Koenzym Q10 chroni witaminę E przed utlenianiem, która jest zanurzona w błonach komórkowych i zapobiega jej utlenianiu. Ubichinon zatem „chroniąc” witaminę E, chroni pośrednio błony komórkowe. Ponadto działa protekcyjnie, nie dopuszcza do utleniania lipidów – tych błonowych, jak i wewnątrz naczyń.

A possible beneficial effect on ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis has been attributed to coenzyme Q10.
„Scientific studies have shown that ubiquinone may have beneficial effects on fibromyalgia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, fertility, Huntington’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, ischemic heart disease, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis. It improves cholesterol levels, helps with menstrual disorders, protects the liver, and helps prevent periodontal disease, infectious diseases, and cancer.”Badania naukowe wykazały, że ubichinon może mieć korzystny wpływ na fibromialgię, cukrzycę, stwardnienie rozsiane, chorobę Parkinsona, płodność, pląsawicę Huntingtona, zespół przewlekłego zmęczenia, chorobę niedokrwienną serca, nadciśnienie tętnicze, miażdżycę, poprawia profil cholesterolowy, pomaga przy zaburzeniach miesiączkowania, działa hepatoprotekcyjnie, zapobiega parodontozie, chorobom zakaźnym czy nowotworom.
Hubert Czerniak
Coenzyme Q10 is found in large amounts in the heart, and its structure resembles that of vitamin E.
„The heart contains the most ubiquinone and the greatest number of mitochondria—about 2,000 per cell—with ubiquinone bound to their membranes.
The structure of ubiquinone is similar to that of vitamins K and E. Plastiquinone, found in chloroplasts, has a similar structure too.”Właśnie w sercu jest najwięcej ubichinonu i największa ilość mitochondriów – ok. 2 000 na komórkę – z których błonami tenże ubichinon jest związany.
Struktura ubichinonu jest podobna do witamin K i E. Podobną budowę ma też plastochinon wykryty w chloroplastach.

„People who took vitamin E supplements had an approximately 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease. Nearly 40,000 men and 87,000 women took part in the study. The more vitamin E they took, and the longer they took it, the less cardiovascular disease they experienced. Such effective amounts of vitamin E simply cannot be obtained from diet alone. [9] Points to Remember: * Two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling estimated that the rate of heart disease would be reduced by 80 per cent if adults in the US supplemented with 2,000 to 3,000 mg of vitamin C each day.”Persons taking vitamin E supplements had an approximately 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease.

„Vitamin E and selenium reduced the risk of death from any cause by about 0.2%, and also reduced the risk of serious cardiovascular events by 0.3%. Vitamin E reduced the risk of serious cardiovascular events by 0.7%. But what you were told—and just about all you were told—was: “Vitamin E causes cancer!” The oldest political trick in the book is to create doubt, then fear, and then conformity. The pharmaceutical industry knows this full well. No one wastes time and money attacking something that does not work. Vitamin E works, and the evidence is abundant.”Vitamin E and selenium reduced risk of all-cause mortality by about 0.2%., and also reduced the risk of serious cardiovascular events by 0.3%.
