Home : Active Ingredient : Ubiquinone Idebenone
Ubiquinone IdebenoneTwo of the most powerful antioxidants today are ubiquinone and idebenone. Idebenone is the synthetic variant of ubiquinone. Both antioxidants have proven effiacy in their ability to neutralize free radicals. "I'm trying not to get too excited, but I am convinced this [idebenone] is the best antioxidant I have seen yet," said Dr. Leslie Bauman, associate professor of dermatology at the University of Miami in the January 2004 Issue of Allure. As we age, our body changes, wrinkles develop, skin becomes dry and starts to sag. These signs of aging are called extrinsic (environmentally controlled). Extrinsic aging is responsible for a large amount of skin damage we commonly associate with aging. It is brought on by factors outside our bodies such as pollution, poor eating habits, smoking and sun exposure (radiation). These environmental factors cause our cells to release free radicals. Free radicals damage cells and much like an old car left to the elements, our bodies, if not protected from free radicals, will begin to prematurely "rust".This premature "rusting" or aging process can be prevented with the use of antioxidants. Antioxidants, such as idebnone and ubiquinone, help protect against the damage caused by free radicals in the environment. Why are many physicians so enthusiastic about this new powerful antioxidant? Because studies show that idebenone shields skin from environmental damage, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduces dryness and smoothes skin texture. When tested and compared to most other known antioxidants idebenone proved to be the most potent and effective. In the January 2004 issue of "Dermatology Times" Dr. David H. McDaniel, assistant clinical professor in the division dermatology and plastic surgery at Eastern Virginia Medical School said idebenone proved to be the "most potent" antioxidant he has researched so far. Free radicals are unstable compounds that occur in the body. Free radicals try to “stabilize” by attaching to the nearest normal cell. This results in a chain-reaction because once the free radical attaches to a healthy cell, it too becomes a free radical in search of stabilization causing cellular damage. In the October 2004 issue of "Allure" magazine, Neil Sadick, clinical professor of dermatology at the Weil Medical School at Cornell University said, "Most antioxidants do not have scientific data to back up their claims. Idebenone does-its ability to protect cells and inhibit inflammation has been proven."
