Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol Form)
Heart-energy antioxidant for vitality and recovery
Category: CAM
Overview
In plain language
Ubiquinol is the active, reduced form of Coenzyme Q10 that the body uses directly for cellular energy production. It's more easily absorbed than ubiquinone, making it particularly beneficial for older adults.

Ubiquinol is the electron-rich, reduced form of CoQ10 that plays a critical role in mitochondrial energy production and serves as a powerful antioxidant. Unlike ubiquinone (oxidized CoQ10), ubiquinol doesn't need to be converted by the body before use, making it more bioavailable, especially for individuals over 40 whose conversion ability naturally declines. It's essential for heart, brain, and muscle function.

Health Condition
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, often referred to as the "silent disease," is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density, leading to weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures. As bones become more fragile, even minor falls or bumps can cause serious injuries. While osteoporosis can affect people of all ages, it is particularly common among postmenopausal women and older adults.
