What's up with CoQ10?

CoQ10, one of the main ingredients in Suvara's amazing air-brush tanning formula, is little less well known than our other ingredients, like organic aloe vera and antioxidants.
Interestingly enough, Coq10 is actually naturally occurring in our bodies.It's a vitamin like substance, and it lives predominantly in our mitochondria, a part of the cell. CoQ10 is part of the very important energy producing process, and starts to break down after you turn 30. By break-down, it means that the cell starts to lose efficiency (energy production) and it's ability to protect against free radicals, which leads to loss of antioxidant power. Ok, ok, so this is isn't science class right? We bet your asking...how does this all add up?





Antioxidant power is an important part of maintaining youthful skin, which is why CoQ10's benefits are so intriguing. Besides all the amazing reported side effects of CoQ10 on the overall body, (everything from lowering blood pressure to preventing cancer and even gingivitis), CoQ10 also has a wonderful effect on the skin. 


So, in a nut shell, what has CoQ10 been reported to do for skin health? 
- Protects against ageing caused by exposure to     
  harmful UV-A rays from the sun.
- Reduces wrinkles
- Nourishes the skin with antioxidants, which destroy harmful free radicals
- Rejuvenates the skin by enhancing cell activity

Here's a quick clip that gives you a view of where CoQ10 lives in your cells.

So that's our science lesson for today! Now you understand the basic principles behind why we've chosen to add CoQ10 in our formula. For more information on memberships, promos and locations, visit our website and friend us on facebook!
