CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Ubiquinol 100mg

CoQ10 can exist in either its oxidized form, ubiquinone, or its reduced form, ubiquinol. Although the body can convert CoQ10 between these two forms, some research suggests the reduced form of CoQ10, ubiquinol, may offer improved body accessibility.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble compound required for mitochondrial ATP synthesis. CoQ10 functions as an antioxidant in cell membranes and lipoproteins and has anti-inflammatory properties. Tissue levels of CoQ10 can decline with age and cholesterol-lowering medications may affect circulating levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 may support cardiovascular function by impacting heart muscle function, blood pressure, and endothelial function. This compound is recommended to be taken with a fatty meal to maximize absorption. *
