CoQ10 offers lots of heart-healthy benefits, but standard CoQ10 (called ubiquinone) is not well absorbed by the body. The ubiquinol form of CoQ10 helps maintain healthy blood concentrations better than standard CoQ10, making it more bioavailable.
What Is COQ10?
You need CoQ10 for the production of ATP: the compound your cells use for energy. This makes CoQ10 essential for the cells in high energy-requirement organs such as your heart and liver. The unoxidized form of CoQ10, called ubiquinol, is far more bioavailable, and helps inhibit oxidative stress at the cellular level, further benefiting cardiovascular function and overall health.
Your heart needs CoQ10, but CoQ10 levels decline over time. This formula has 100 mg of bioavailable ubiquinol CoQ10.
CoQ10 Benefits
- Better bioavailability than standard ubiquinone CoQ10
- Helps fight the effects of general fatigue
- Supports heart health
- Supports liver health and function
- Inhibits inflammatory factors to support whole body health
CoQ10 for heart health and cellular energy
CoQ10 (or coenzyme Q10) is an essential nutrient for healthy mitochondrial function, a process that produces adenosine triphosphate—the compound your cells use for energy.1-3 Because of this, it makes sense that CoQ10 is concentrated in high-energy organs such as your brain, liver, kidneys and heart.2-6
CoQ10 also has powerful antioxidant properties, protecting important proteins and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative stress.7,8 Unfortunately, CoQ10 levels decrease over time.9,10
Improved Bioavailability: Ubiquinol
The traditional ubiquinone form of CoQ10 has limited bioavailability once ingested.11 That’s why Life Extension offers ubiquinol CoQ10, shown to have far better bioavailability than ubiquinone forms.12-14 In people taking this form of ubiquinol, high levels of plasma CoQ10 can be achieved in only four weeks.15
CoQ10 and General Fatigue
If you’ve ever felt like you just didn’t have the energy that you used to, you’re not alone. Good news: CoQ10 has been clinically studied to help relieve occasional general fatigue in healthy adults!16,17 Over the course of one 8-day study, the effects of physical exertion were reduced for those taking CoQ10 rather than placebo.16 In another study, subjects feeling general, daily fatigue measured both subjective and objective improvements after taking CoQ10 over the course of the 12-week study.17
