ubiquinol

La description

Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q*0) has been taken as a supplement by millions of people over the past thirty years. Because of its wide availability and popularity as a supplement, ubiquinone is the form of CoQ*0 most recognized by consumers. Because it was not available in nutritional supplements until ***6, ubiquinol is a lesser-known but equally important nutrient.

Ubiquinone, one of the most powerful known lipid-soluble antioxidants, is produced naturally within the body. Its importance in cellular energy production is well established. Ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form of CoQ*0. It also plays an essential but different role in the cellular energy production process*.

Both ubiquinone and ubiquinol are critical to the cellular ATP (energy) production cycle. Without the presence of both ubiquinone and ubiquinol within the bodys cells, cellular energy cannot be generated or sustained*.

Until recently, the only way to increase ubiquinol levels in plasma was to convert it from ubiquinone within the body, which research has shown becomes increasingly difficult with age. Because it was so easily oxidized outside of the body, it took scientists and researchers more than a decade to stabilize ubiquinol for use in supplements.

Ubiquinone will continue to be an important supplement for those who want to maintain good health in their *0s and *0s*. Ubiquinol, however, will be of particular importance for those *0 and older, or with hindered ability to convert CoQ*0
