The object of the present invention is to provide a composition which is effective in retarding or preventing the development of energy decrease, appearance change, etc. of humans and animals due to aging, and is highly safe even with a long period of taking.
The present invention relates to an antiaging composition which comprises reduced coenzyme Q as an active ingredient. By feeding mice which develop the aging symptom early (aging-accelerated model mice) with a feed containing reduced coenzyme Q
10
for a long period of time, aging process was prevented and retarded. Furthermore, aging-accelerated model mice fed with reduced coenzyme Q
10
for a long period of time showed no toxic symptom, thus it was found that the antiaging composition comprising a composition containing said substance can be made into a safe antiaging composition capable of being taken for a long period of time.
本发明的目的是提供一种组成物,该组成物能够有效地延缓或预防因衰老而导致的人类和动物的能量减少、外观变化等,并且即使长期服用也非常安全。本发明涉及一种抗衰老组成物,其包含还原型
辅酶Q作为活性成分。通过长期喂养早期出现衰老症状的小鼠(衰老加速模型小鼠)含有还原型
辅酶Q10的饲料,可以预防和延缓衰老过程。此外,长期喂养还原型
辅酶Q10的衰老加速模型小鼠没有显示出有毒症状,因此发现包含该物质的组成物可以制成一种安全的抗衰老组成物,可长期服用。
