Transcript:

Ubiquinol has been commercially available since 2007, and since that time, hundreds of studies have been conducted on the ingredient.

Evidence from research studies on Ubiquinol CoQ10 show that:

  • Ubiquinol promotes heart health 1,2,3
  • Ubiquinol is more bioavailable and better absorbed than conventional CoQ10
  • Ubiquinol is essential to promoting and maintaining cellular energy 4
  • Ubiquinol is the only form of CoQ10 that also functions as an antioxidant 3,4
  • Ubiquinol replenishes CoQ10 levels depleted by cholesterol medications 5,6
  • Ubiquinol promotes healthy aging and improves quality of life in older women 7,8
  • Short-term Ubiquinol supplementation can reduce oxidative stress associated with strenuous exercise 9

This promising research only scratches the surface of our understanding of Ubiquinol, and more health benefits may emerge as more research is conducted. To learn more about the clinical research regarding Ubiquinol, visit www.ubiquinol.org/clinical-studies.
