Do you always feel tired when you diet to lose weight?

Do you always feel tired when you diet to lose weight? Well, so did I until I discovered Coenzyme Q10. Losing weight is never fun, especially when you are fighting your body, which is desperately trying to get you to eat. One of the crafty ways your body tries to sabotage your weight loss is by slowing down your metabolism, which makes you tired, groggy…and basically hangry.

During one of my tired, groggy, and hangry moments, I started to think of ways to boost my energy levels. Then I remembered mitochondria, often described as the powerhouse of the cell. It was time to dust off my biochemistry textbooks to see which supplements could turbo-charge these tiny power stations in my body.

Coenzyme Q10 the secret behind energy

Do you always feel tired when you diet to lose weight? So, did I until I discovered coenzyme Q10. It is a vital component of the electron transport chain, an essential step in producing ATP, the body’s energy currency. It also acts as an important antioxidant, responsible for mopping up those dangerous, wandering free radicals that cause so much damage to our bodies.

Coenzyme Q10 for heart conditions

The more I read, the further down the rabbit hole I descended. I came across numerous studies that demonstrated its effectiveness in patients with heart conditions, where it was able to boost their energy levels. I was also surprised to discover that it is on the Japanese formulary for patients with heart conditions.

Coenzyme Q10 and the Sinatra Solution

One book that sealed the deal for me was The Sinatra Solution, written by the US cardiologist Doctor Stephen (not Frank) Sinatra. This book described many case studies that Dr. Sinatra encountered and treated with coenzyme Q10 in addition to the standard cardiac care practice. His results have been remarkable. I highly recommend his book to anyone wanting to learn more about coenzyme Q10.

What dose of Coenzyme Q10 should I take?

OK, problem solved; I just needed to buy some coenzyme Q10 supplements to regain my mojo. But it wasn’t as simple as that. The first thing is that for coenzyme Q10 to make a difference, you need a larger dose of around 200mg. One of the reasons for this large dose is that it is poorly absorbed, so I could end up spending a fortune (yes, coenzyme Q10 is expensive) and still not get the benefits.

Ubiquinol or ubiquinone, to be or not to be?

I started reading about whether the reduced form, ubiquinol, or the oxidised form, ubiquinone, was better or whether to use nanoparticles or liposomes. I was stuck, so I tried them all. However, after my experimenting, I thought I could do better.

Eureka! The Coenzyme Q10 50mg  transmucosal buccal film

Due to my frustrations with the available formulations’ poor absorption and cost, I returned to the lab to develop a better delivery system for the Coenzyme Q10.

Working with a compounding pharmacist team at APC labs, we developed the transmucosal coenzyme Q10 50mg buccal film. It’s a bit of a mouthful, isn’t it? Let’s break it down.

First, the transmucosal buccal film, or soluble oral patch, as our marketing guys like to call it, exploits a unique delivery system to deliver medicines’ active ingredients into the bloodstream.

The pharmacokinetics of tablets and capsules

When you swallow a tablet or capsule to get to the bloodstream, it first has to swim across the acidic lake in the stomach, then squeeze through walls of the intestine, where it finally encounters the body’s equivalent of customs control, the liver. This is where the body decides what substances are permitted to proceed on their journey into the bloodstream. Anything that fails to pass the customs control in the liver is kicked out of the body in the poo or wee.

Only after successfully navigating this triple gauntlet of stomach, intestine and liver can the drug’s active ingredient reach the circulation where it can exert its beneficial effects. That’s why we have to put so much active ingredient in at the start, because not all of it makes it. It’s like the sidekick in a film that sacrifices himself to allow the hero to complete his quest and get the girl.

The advantages of buccal drug delivery

On the other hand, there is a way we can get the active ingredients of drugs into the bloodstream quickly, through a secret VIP route which does not involve injections and veins. It’s administration of a drug through the buccal mucosa in the mouth. Since this is richly supplied with blood vessels, if we can get a drug to diffuse across the wall of the inner cheek, it makes it straight into the circulation. It’s like getting a Chance card in Monopoly, which sends you straight to “Go” to collect your £200.

The transmucosal buccal film

So, how do we get the drug to dissolve across the buccal mucosa of the mouth? It’s with the clever transmucosal film, which has both mucoadhesive and rapid dissolve technology. Basically, it means it immediately sticks to the inside of your mouth and starts to dissolve straight away. This means that the film has dissolved within two minutes, and most of the drug has made its way into the bloodstream. The great news is that we have managed to put 50mg of Coenzyme Q10 into a soluble oral patch.
