What is Q10 and why is it in our GIMMY Energy Gummies?

Coenzyme Q10, also known as Q10 or ubiquinone , is one of the most important substances in the body for your energy production . In our GIMMY Energy Gummies you will find 100 mg Q10 per 2 gummies, a well-considered dose that supports your body without the risk of side effects.
But what is Q10 and what is it for exactly? W hy would you use Q10 in a supplement and who is it suitable for ?

What is Coenzyme Q10 ?

Q10 is a substance that occurs naturally in your body. It is fat-soluble and is found in your mitochondria . There it helps to convert food into usable energy . Without Q10 , your muscles , including your heart, would work less efficiently .

Coenzyme Q10 also works as an antioxidant : it protects your cells from free radical damage . That sounds complicated, but it boils down to Q10 helping to keep your cells healthy , and therefore you too .

Does my body produce Q10?

Your body produces Q10 itself, but this production decreases as you get older . Around the age of 30 it starts to decrease a little and from the age of 40 it suddenly goes faster. Stress, an unhealthy diet and some medicines ( especially statins , cholesterol - lowering drugs) can also lower your Q10 level .

The result? Your energy production decreases and you feel tired or less sharp. It is not as extreme every day , but you notice it more and more often.

What does Q10 do in a supplement ?

When you take Q10 as a supplement , you give your cells extra " fuel" to produce energy more efficiently .

People who use Q10 notice that they :

• have more energy at the end of the day;
• feel clearer ;
• wake up tired less often ;
• recover faster after exercise;
• suffer less from dips .

Why is Co-enzyme Q10 in the GIMMY Energy G ummies?

We chose to add 100mg of Q10 per 2 gummies because this is an effective , safe dosage that :​​

• Supports natural energy production , without caffeine or crashes.
• Gives the body an extra push , especially as you get older or are often tired .
• Can be used without worries , also in the long term. Side effects only occur at much higher doses .

Who can benefit from a Q10 supplement ?

• People with a busy lifestyle or lack of energy .
• People who often feel tired .
• People who use cholesterol -lowering drugs ( statins) .
• Athletes who want to support their physical performance .

Q10 side effects

At GIMMY we consciously choose ingredients in a dosage that is effective and safe . The 100 mg Q10 in our Energy Gummies is well within the safe margins. Clinical studies show that side effects usually only occur at dosages of 300 mg or more per day , and even then they are mild ( think stomach complaints or mild headache ).

The GIMMY approach : smart, effective and safe

At GIMMY we don't put ingredients in a product " because it's something hip ". We want it to work and for you to feel good about it . That 's why we consciously chose 100 mg Co - enzyme Q10 per daily dose , based on what science and practice show us .

That amount is not just plucked out of thin air : several studies show that 100 mg per day is effective in supporting your cells in producing energy . And at least as important : it is a safe dosage that you can take every day without worrying about side effects.

In addition, we use a fat-soluble form of Q10 , so that your body can easily absorb it . This way you get the most out of every gummy.

In short: you get exactly what you need , nothing more, nothing less. Discover it for yourself .
