Ubiquinol CoQ10 50mg 30 pearls Solaray

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) and ubiquinol are actually two sides of the same coin. Co Q10 exists in two forms:

Ubiquinone (commonly called Coenzyme Q10) and ubiquinol.

They are two physical conformations of the same element. Ubiquinone or active form and ubiquinol or reduced form. Both are very important for sustaining life and both are Coenzyme Q10. Neither of them should be missing, because they are fundamental in the production of energy for cells.

Ubiquinone is an essential molecule for the production of energy in the body. The body can synthesize it, although this capacity decreases with age, and some medications, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins, red yeast rice) and beta-blockers for hypertension and angina pectoris, can reduce its levels in cells. It is present in our diet in red meat, fish (salmon, sardines, tuna, etc.) and soy, among others. Its concentration is higher in those tissues with greater activity, such as the liver and heart, and in those that regenerate quickly, such as the gums.

It has demonstrated its effectiveness in pathologies such as congestive heart failure, gingivitis and helps reduce blood pressure. It also has antioxidant properties, improves oxygen utilization, which increases aerobic resistance, and supports the proper functioning of the immune system.
