How It Helps
50 mg Coq10 Ubiquinol supplement (also referred to as Coenzyme Q10 or Coenzyme CoQ-10) is a powerful antioxidant found in virtually all body cell membranes and tissues. Its primary function is to serve as a catalyst to convert food into energy. The highest ubiquinol concentrations are in the heart, kidney, pancreas and liver. CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age. Levels have also been shown to be low in patients with diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
The ubiquinol form of CoQ10 is the antioxidant form of CoQ10 (whereas the ubiquinone form is the oxidized version of the nutrient). The body naturally converts the ubiquinone form of CoQ10 into the ubiquinol form to produce cellular energy, but this conversion becomes less efficient by age 40. When the ubiquinol form is consumed, it’s readily available without going through the conversion process first. Ubiquinol is also called the reduced, active form of CoQ10.
Supports Optimal Heart Health
CoQ10 50 mg Ubiquinol helps support optimal heart health by helping to provide the cellular energy the heart requires. Ubiquinol is critical in producing the antioxidant adenosine triphosphate (ATP) used for three critical heart functions – contractions, relaxation, and molecular synthesis.
Supports CoQ10 Blood Levels Depleted by Statin Medications
Statin medications have been shown to lower CoQ10 levels. Adding CoQ10 Ubiquinol supplements can help support healthy aging and replenish levels that may be depleted by cholesterol-lowering statin medications.†
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology reviewed records on more than 10,000 current and former statin users, and roughly 30 percent reported muscle pain. While statin drugs help keep cholesterol in a healthy range, they deplete the body’s level of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 50 mg Ubiquinol may reduce muscle pain with or without muscle weakness and fatigue associated with statin medications.
Physicians often recommend 100 to 200 mg CoQ10 daily for patients on statin medications. 50 mg CoQ10 Ubiquinol supplement is recommended for individuals taking Basic One Iron Free and Basic One With Iron multivitamins as these formulations do not contain CoQ10. The 50 mg level allows individuals to titrate to the best level for their circumstances.
Supports Cellular Energy Production
Ubiquinol is required for 95 percent of cellular energy production and provides the heart, lungs, and other organs the energy needed to function at optimal levels.† The mitochondria requires CoQ10 to create energy. Ubiquinol is naturally made in the body and is important in creating cellular energy. However, starting at around age 40, the body makes less of this heart-healthy nutrient, which neutralizes and protects the body from free radicals. CoQ10 levels in the body may be affected by age, environmental stressors, certain conditions, some medications, and exercise.
Helps Prevent Damage from Oxidative Stress
As an antioxidant, CoQ10 Ubiquinol helps protect cells against the damaging effects of oxidative stress. And it plays a vital role in supporting healthy mitochondrial function.
Ubiquinol is a more bioavailable form of Coenzyme Q10 than the more common ubiquinone form. The body converts ubiquinone to Ubiquinol naturally, but that process becomes less efficient with age.
The daily recommended serving is one (1) softgel or as your physician recommends. Each bottle contains 60 50 mg ubiquinol softgels, which are gluten-free and non-GMO.
