Ubiquinol is an active form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is a vitamin-like essential component of the mitochondria, an organelle found in virtually all cells. CoQ10 helps your cells’ mitochondria to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), your body’s energy currency. In fact, the body cannot function without CoQ10. Therefore, it’s no surprise that organs with the highest energy needs like the heart, liver and kidneys all contain large amounts of CoQ10.
Ubiquinol is a fat-soluble molecule that’s stored in the liver and fatty tissue and provides the necessary amount of energy that your heart needs to function properly. Research shows that CoQ10 helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels and heart muscle strength and support the health of blood vessel walls. The heart is one of the most metabolically active organs in our body and thus a deficiency in CoQ10 usually affects the heart first. It is important to note that pharmaceutical treatment with statins (cholesterol lowering medications) can inhibit CoQ10 activity and lead to a serious deficiency. Supplementing with a daily dose of CanPrev’s Ubiquinol 100 can help restore what’s lost.
Ubiquinol is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect your heart and other organs from free radical damage. Supplementing with ubiquinol can contribute to a renewed sense of energy, as ubiquinol plays a role in the production of Adenosene Triphosphate (ATP), a transporter responsible for generating 90 to 95 percent of your body’s energy.
Using Ubiquinol preventatively may also play a role in migraine prevention. A study at University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland showed that patients taking 300 mg of CoQ10 daily had fewer and shorter headaches and less headache-related nausea. Other studies have shown similar results.* It is recommended that you take CoQ10 for a minimum of three months in order to see beneficial effects with migraines.
After age 30, your body is less able to metabolize CoQ10 on its own. Each capsule of CanPrev’s Ubiquinol 100 contains 100mg of Active Form CoQ10 for cardiovascular support and migraine prevention. Each softgel is formed from a base of medium chain triglyceride oil for enhanced absorption.
For the health of your heart, as a powerful antioxidant and to guard against migraines, make CanPrev’s Ubiquinol 100 part of your daily health regimen, today.
