Pure Encapsulations Ubiquinol-Qh 100mg - 60 Softgels

PURE ENCAPSULATIONS UBIQUINOL QH 100MG

• Supports cardiovascular health


• Reduces frequency of migraine headaches and associated nausea and vomiting when taken as a prophylactic

Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form of CoQ10, which is also known as ubiquinone. Ubiquinol comprises the majority of the ubiquinone/ubiquinol pool in the plasma of healthy young subjects, making it especially important for older individuals, those who experience greater levels of oxidative or physical stress, or individuals who appear not to respond to regular CoQ10 supplementation (possibly due to poor conversion of CoQ10 to ubiquinol in the body). Research suggests that it may also be more readily absorbed than the ubiquinone form. In the body, the enzymatic conversion of ubiquinone to ubiquinol in the mitochondria is a key step in the electron transport chain and the manufacture of ATP. In addition, clinical trials have reported that ubiquinol maintains cardiovascular health by supporting healthy ejection fraction and mitral valve function. CoQ10 also helps reduce the frequency of migraine headaches and associated symptoms when taken as a prophylactic. It acts by decreasing oxidative stress in neurons and maintaining neuronal and mitochondrial function. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving adults with a history of migraines, daily supplementation with 150 mg of CoQ10 for three months reduced the number of days with headache by over 50% in 61% of participants.

How CoQ10 Ubiquinol Can Help

Uses of Coenzyme Q10 in Cardiovascular Diseases

Heart Health – If you have any kind of heart health concern – or even a family history of it, CoQ10 ubiquinol should be one of the supplements in your daily regimen; the clinical evidence supporting CoQ10’s effectiveness in most cardiovascular concerns is vast. Study after study links CoQ10 deficiency to heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, nigh cholesterol and more.

CoQ10 ubiquinol Protect From bad LDL cholesterol

High Cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart attacks and stroke. The “bad” cholesterol is harmful because it is far more prone to oxidative damage from free radicals than the “good” HDL cholesterol. Once oxidized, LDL cholesterol then damages arteries, causing lesions to form, eventually causing the arterial blockages that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. CoQ10 can prevent this. As a fat soluble antioxidant, CoQ10 ubiquinol/ubiquinone can protect the bad LDL cholesterol from free radicals, as it too is a fat. Water soluble antioxidants such as vitamin C or selenium are unable to do this to the same extent, which makes CoQ10 the ideal nutritional supplement.

CoQ10 supports healthy blood pressure

high blood pressure is sometimes called a “silent killer” as it often goes unnoticed until a major cardiac event. It can occur for a variety of different reasons, including high viscosity of the blood, narrowing of the arteries, and weak heart muscle. CoQ10 can help support healthy blood pressure by addressing each of these concerns. It helps the blood to be less viscous, thus making flow through arteries and veins with less force being exerted on blood vessel walls.

By reducing the oxidation of cholesterol, CoQ10 reduces the progress of the narrowing of the arteries. In addition, as the most important muscle in the body, the heart requires Q10 more than any other. The heart is always pumping and needs a steady supply of ubiquinone / ubiquinol to continue its thousands of beats per day. Since CoQ10 is the spark plug for all muscular contractions, it is crucial for the heart to pump blood effectively. Without enough CoQ10, the beating of the heart can be erratic or even causing palpitations, causing blood pressure to rise. The preferred form in treating high blood pressure is the ubiquinol form; it has been clinically proven to reduce high blood pressure quicker and more effectively than standard ubiquinol.

Statins are a common class of medication prescribed by conventional doctors to reduce high cholesterol. While they are indeed effective in keeping it low, they have a few nasty side effects, the most common one being muscle pain. People taking this medication experience statin-related muscle pain and fatigue because their CoQ10 is being depleted! These side effects normally will subside with the addition of 100-400mg of Coenzyme Q10 per day.

Coenzyme Q10 Anti Aging Benefits

It has anti-aging properties because as an antioxidant it protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that and lead to aging. The free radical theory of aging is generally accepted as one of the major external causes of the aging process. With CoQ10’s ability to stabilize free radicals, it can make a dramatic difference in reducing the DNA damage free radicals cause that can lead to the premature aging of tissues and the individual cells of which they are made. In addition, Coenzyme Q10 helps to improve circulation, which improves the flow of nutrients and oxygen to tissues, thus keeping them healthier longer.


Risk Information: Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking blood pressure medication or blood thinners. Consult a healthcare practitioner if migraine frequency increases, or if associated nausea and vomiting persist or worsen. Keep out of the reach of children.
