Menopause brings changes that reach well beyond hot flashes. This clinician-facing overview explores how ubiquinol may support mitochondrial function, antioxidant defenses and cardiovascular health as women move through midlife.
Every cell needs energy to function. Learn how mitochondria help make ATP, why they’re abundant in high-demand tissues, and what else these organelles do.
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
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
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).
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
