Ubiquinol: The More Effective Antioxidant than Coenzyme Q10

Tauranga, New Zealand (prHWY.com) June 26, 2012 - Life Extension Foundation first introduced Coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone 24 years ago, which was considered as a breakthrough in the science of natural supplementation. After the discovery, CoQ10 supplements were used in Japan as a prescription medication for heart diseases because of its cardio-protective mechanisms. CoQ10 has come a long way to being one of the widely used dietary supplements today. It had also undergone evolution for better delivery into the bloodstream than its previous formulations.

The notoriety of Coenzyme Q10 Supplements in the market was because of its different purposeful benefits for human health. According to scientists, higher concentration of it in the bloodstream is very important in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. For this very reason, the largest CoQ10 manufacturer in Japan has discovered a way to transport the highest possible concentrations in the blood, through Ubiquinol.

First we have to differentiate Ubiquinol and Coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is the super antioxidant present in all the cells of the body needed by the mitochondria to produce energy. On the other hand, Ubiquinol is the reduced and therefore, the ready-to-use form of ubiquinone. The body must firsr convert CoQ10 to ubiquinol before its benefits are fully achieved. Being the bioavailable form of Coenzyme Q10, there are a lot of speculations if Ubiquinol is really better than good old Coenzyme Q10. And a lot of clinical research confirms these speculations, indeed ubiquinol supplements are better than CoQ10 itself.

In clinical studies, Ubiquinol was shown to be up to 8 times more absorbable than plain coenzyme Q10. In fact, out of the total concentration of CoQ10 supplements, only 4% reaches the blood. The absorption also is reliant on the body's levels of Vitamin E. On the other hand, ubiquinol doesn't undergo any of these and is not reliant on any vitamins for absorption. Being the readily available form that the body can use, Ubiquinol delivers better and faster antioxidant protection for the cells against free radical damage. It also allows for more cellular energy production which gives way to all important CoQ10 benefits for the body.

Ubiquinol Supplements are best known for the treatment of heart diseases. It works by improving energy production in the cardiac muscle cells, inhibiting blood clot formation, and as a very potent antioxidant. They also improve serum cholesterol profiles, since high cholesterol levels in the blood has been linked with low ubiquinone concentrations. Ubiquinol was also found to be useful in patients with diabetes who are at risk for developing cardiovascular complications. Other potential ubiquinol benefits include relieving migraine headache, muscular dystrophy, ulcers, and high blood pressure.
