With longer life expectancy comes a greater need to address age-related decline and the onset of serious disease. Diet, lifestyle and evidence-based supplements aimed at promoting mitochondrial health are gaining traction, and ubiquinol—the bioactive form of CoQ10—plays a critical role in supporting mitochondria, enhancing vital aging and protecting against age-related disease.
Protecting endothelial function is central to a comprehensive cardiovascular care protocol—here’s how ubiquinol helps. With the number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases on the rise, heart health remains a growing concern for practitioners. Over the past three decades, cardiovascular-related deaths have been steadily increasing, and in 2021, heart diseaseRead
How maintaining mitochondrial wellness supports cellular function, offsets declines and helps your patients live longer and better Why do we age? While explanations of biological aging range from telomere shortening and epigenetic malfunctions to inflammaging, current theories essentially fall into one of two categories. Programmed theories suggest aging adheres toRead
The emerging emphasis on oxidative stress, and science-based supplements shown to support conception. Infertility is a widely recognized and rapidly increasing problem, affecting about 15 percent of couples worldwide. In the United States, fertility has largely followed a downward trajectory, falling to a record low in 2020 when 43 states recordedRead
Although both are forms of CoQ10, your body uses each nutrient differently to perform vital functions. Just as your car is powered by gas, your heart and other organs are powered by cellular energy. To create this energy, Ubiquinone, also known as the regular CoQ10, travels down a path inRead
The role of Ubiquinol in restoring depleted levels of CoQ10 and improving ejection fraction1 In case reports of 29 cardiac patients, those patients who switched to Ubiquinol (average of 334 mg/day) from CoQ10 (average 384 mg/day) for 18 months experienced an increase in average serum CoQ10 level from 2.9 µg/mLRead
Ubiquinol plays a supporting role in cellular energy production The mitochondria are responsible for producing 95% of the energy in the cells (aerobic metabolism), and Ubiquinol plays a critical role in the process, shuttling electrons4 CoQ10 is a member of the electron transport chain1 When CoQ10 receives electrons, the structureRead
In an 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center trial, with the primary outcome of change in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in healthy patients with mild-to-moderate dyslipidemia, Ubiquinol significantly improved dyslipidemia-related endothelial dysfunction (P=0.001).
Use of certain cholesterol-lowering medication is increasing over time1 Nine out of 10 adults using a cholesterol-lowering medication take a statin1 Cholesterol-lowering statins can significantly lower the amount of CoQ10 (ubiquinone) in the blood3-6 Statins can lower the amount of CoQ10 in the body, even when a patient has taken a standard doseRead
