Active antioxidant form of CoQ10
Promotes cardiovascular health
Reduces migraine frequency and associated nausea and vomiting when taken as a prophylactic treatment
Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form of CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone. Ubiquinol comprises 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 standard CoQ10 supplementation (possibly due to poor conversion of CoQ10 to ubiquinol in the body). Research suggests that it may also be more easily absorbed than 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 ATP production. Furthermore, clinical trials have shown that ubiquinol maintains cardiovascular health by promoting ejection fraction and mitral valve function. CoQ10 also reduces migraine frequency and associated symptoms when taken as a prophylactic treatment. It works by reducing oxidative stress in neurons and maintaining neuronal and mitochondrial function. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of adults with migraines, daily supplementation with 150 mg of CoQ10 for three months reduced the number of headache days by more than 50% for 61% of participants.
