Ubiquinol 50 mg Description

Ubiquinol: The Advanced Co Q-10 You are probably familiar with coenzyme Q-10 (Co Q-10). But did you know that it exists in two forms? Originally, Co Q-10 supplements were only available as Co Q-10 in its oxidized form, ubiquinone. Now the reduced form of Co Q-10, ubiquinol is also readily available in dietary supplements. Co Q-10 is recycled back and forth between these two forms depending on the demands of the body. Ubiquinol is the most common form of Co Q-10 found in the body. In fact, it accounts for about 80% of the total Co Q-10 found in the plasma, intestines and liver.1 As an antioxidant, Ubiquinol helps fight free radicals in the body.* Free radicals can cause oxidative stress which may damage cells.* Supplementing with either ubiquinol or ubiquinone is effective at restoring low blood levels of Co Q-10 to the population average.2 However, ubiquinol may be a better choice for older adults, those with high Co Q-10 needs, or anyone wanting to quickly replenish their Co Q-10 levels.* Ubiquinol supplements have been shown to increase levels of Co Q-10 in the blood by 110% more when compared to regular Co Q-10 supplements.* JUST THE FACTS ON UBIQUINOL Ubiquinol levels in the body reach their peak by age 20 and decrease by up to 50% in different parts of the body by age 80.3 Ubiquinol Levels Statins can lead to a 51% decrease in Ubiquinol plasma levels within 30 days of use.++ Dietary Intake The average dietary intake of Ubiquinol is only about 3-5 milligrams per day.3 Not nearly enough to replenish levels lost due to age-related decline or prescription drugs. How much do I need? Depending on your needs, Ubiquinol supplementation recommendations can range anywhere from 60-600 milligrams per day to increase tissue concentrations. biquinol acts as a key component in our mitochondrial machinery involved in making up a large percentage of the body’s cellular energy. This energy is produced via the electron transport chain in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) across the inner mitochondrial membrane.1 Ubiquinol is vital for the muscle of the heart.2 The reason is due to the heart’s requirement of a constant supply of ATP energy. While blood vessels transport blood, the heart provides the force to pump blood around the body. As a result, Ubiquinol concentration is an important determination of heart function and cardiovascular health.5 Historically, scientific studies evaluating the effects of Ubiquinol have been mainly focused on its potential support to cardiovascular health.9* Ubiquinol supplements can help replenish what is lost with age or what statin medications deplete. However, Ubiquinol is not intended to serve as a replacement for statin therapy, nor should you discontinue taking any prescribed medications while supplementing with Ubiquinol.
