Description
Ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a naturally occurring compound essential for cellular energy production, particularly within the mitochondria. As we age, the body's ability to convert CoQ10 (ubiquinone) to ubiquinol decreases, making direct ubiquinol supplementation potentially more beneficial for older adults and those with certain health conditions. Ubiquinol offers superior bioavailability compared to ubiquinone and is primarily known for its role in supporting cardiovascular health, neurological function, fertility, and reducing statin-induced side effects. While generally safe, some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal issues.
