Ubiquinol

CoQH 100mg for Cardiovascular Health

DESCRIPTION

Ubiquinol is the reduced (electron-rich) from of Coenzyme Q10. It is identical to the CoQ10 produced by the body and is already activated, bypassing the need for conversion.

FUNCTIONS

Ubiquinol is an integral part of the body’s antioxidant defense system. Antioxidant nutrients are necessary to protect the body from the destructive effects of harmful molecules that cause oxidation. As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, it actively eliminates peroxyl radicals, hydroperoxyl radicals and lipid peroxides in biological membranes. Ubiquinol also regenerates oxidized vitamin E, restoring its antioxidant function. Supplementation with ubiquinol has been shown to increase the resistance of LDL cholesterol to oxidation in human subjects. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress contributes to the development of many common health problems, including atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Ubiquinol is also a carrier of electrons in the mitochondrial electron transport chain that plays a role in ATP synthesis. It is present in large quantities in tissues with very high metabolic demands, such as cardiac muscle. Numerous studies have shown that supplementation with ubiquinol may support cardiac health.*

INDICATIONS

Ubiquinol may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support mitochondrial or cardiovascular health or enhance antioxidant protection.
