Ubiquinol and CoQ
- Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form of CoQ10.
- It has an additional two hydrogen atoms and comprises the majority of the ubiquinone/ubiquinol pool in the plasma of healthy subjects.
- Ubiquinol may be especially important for older individuals, for those under oxidative or physical stress, or for individuals who appear not to respond to regular CoQ supplementation.
- In a preliminary case report, plasma CoQ levels doubled for one 52-year-old woman after supplementation with 300 mg ubiquinol in divided doses for one month.
- Ubiquinol supported a healthy ratio of CoQ to lipids in the body.
- In another case, a 65-year-old male not responding to CoQ supplementation experienced a 4-fold increase in plasma CoQ after ubiquinol.
- Ubiquinol supported healthy ejection fraction and mitral valve function while supporting overall physical activity and quality of life.
