Ubiquinol-QH 100 mg

- Active antioxidant form of CoQ10
- Promotes cardiovascular health
- Reduces the frequency of migraines and associated nausea and vomiting when consumed as a prophylactic treatment
Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form of CoQ10, which is also called ubiquinone. Ubiquinol is comprised of the majority of the ubiquinone/ubiquinol group in the plasma of young healthy subjects, making it particularly important for older individuals, those with higher levels of oxidative or physical stress, or those who do not respond to usual CoQ10 supplementation (possibly due to poor conversion of CoQ10 to ubiquinol in the body). Research suggests that it may also be absorbed more easily than in the ubiquinone form. In the body, the enzymatic conversion of ubiquinone to ubiquinol in the mitochondria is a key step in the respiratory chain and the production of ATP. Additionally, clinical trials have demonstrated that ubiquinol maintains cardiovascular health by promoting ejection fraction and mitral valve function. CoQ10 also reduces the frequency of migraines and associated symptoms when taken as a prophylactic treatment. It acts by reducing oxidative stress in neurons and maintaining neuronal and mitochondrial functions. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of adults with migraines, supplementing with 150 mg of CoQ10 daily for three months reduced the number of days with headaches by more than 50% for 61% of participants.
