Ubiquinol 400mg

Ubiquinol Canada - 400mg

When it comes to antioxidants, coenzyme Q10 (most commonly referred to as CoQ10), stands out thanks to the unique and impressive health benefits it offers. Indeed, CoQ10 is one of the most significant lipid antioxidants known to man and has been shown to halt the production of free radicals and, in turn, prevent damage to proteins, lipids and DNA. Ubiquinol is the preferred form of CoQ10 and there are many of these supplements at 400mg potency in Canada.

Interestingly, CoQ10 is a fat-soluble enzyme that we naturally produce in our bodies and which is distributed throughout our cells and tissues, but especially concentrated in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. Foods containing CoQ10 include meat, fatty fish and even though in smaller amounts, in whole grains, nuts and vegetables. Unfortunately, our ability to produce CoQ10 on our own slows down rapidly as we age (as early as age 20, in fact), often leaving us with dramatically low levels by age 40. This is important because low levels of CoQ10 are associated with the onset of heart disease, age-related neurocognitive conditions as well as type 2 diabetes, migraines, and decreased physical and mental performance.

Who Needs Ubiquinol From Canada?

Anyone who has heart disease or risks for cardiovascular disease (high cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, diabetes, smoking, poor diet, and family history) would be a good candidate for CoQ10 supplementation. So would those on statin drugs (for high cholesterol) because these medications further decrease CoQ10 levels in our body, which creates a vicious cycle by increasing risk of heart disease. CoQ10 supplementation can also be of great benefit to anyone looking to bolster their antioxidant protection and protect brain health and cognition, as well as those starting to notice blood sugar management difficulties including sugar cravings, pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and central obesity. Another common application for CoQ10 is in athletes and fitness enthusiasts to help boost their energy, improve physical performance, and speed up post-exercise recovery.

Most brands recommend a daily dose between 90–200 mg, but certain health conditions require a higher dose, especially those living with a cardiovascular or neurocognitive condition. Speak to your health care practitioner to discuss which dose is appropriate for you.
