Ubiquinol: The Pure Form of CoQ10
You may have heard of CoQ10—an antioxidant that is found in every cell of your body. It provides you with energy and protects you from damaging molecules. What do you know about ubiquinol? Ubiquinol is an active form of CoQ10 which is produced naturally in our bodies. Although more expensive than CoQ10, ubiquinol is easier to absorb into the body, thus delivering superior results. With a long list of health benefits and a proven ability to fight against aging, ubiquinol is one supplement you’ll want to learn more about.
Healthy Heart
Through studies it was found that people with heart disease had a decreased amount of CoQ10 in their tissue. Upon supplementation, the same people experienced an increase in CoQ10 and heart function. Since there is a correlation between low levels of CoQ10 and heart disease, it may be beneficial to take an ubiquinol supplement, especially as you become older and your body produces less of this nutrient than when you were younger.
Low Blood Pressure
Along with heart disease, many people suffer from high blood pressure later in life. In many cases, doctors are unsure of the cause of high blood pressure, but some factors can be; age, diet, stress, smoking, or other underlying health conditions. Whatever the cause, high blood pressure can be dangerous. Supplementing with ubiquinol showed a decrease in blood pressure in study participants with high blood pressure who were currently taking medication. This finding was believed to be a result of ubiquinol balancing insulin response and decreasing oxidative stress.
Good Gums
Gum disease is a scary and uncomfortable condition that many adults suffer from. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and usually the result of poor dental hygiene. The bacteria in the plaque infects your gums and teeth, and in worse cases, the gum tissue and bone. This infection leads to pain, inflammation, and damage or loss of teeth. However, early stages of gum disease can usually be reversed by regularly brushing and flossing teeth and gums, and by making routine visits to the dentist. A strong immune system can also aid in fighting off bacteria. It has been suggested that ubiquinol can help strengthen the immune system. This may be why in a study where people with gum disease supplemented with ubiquinol, they had a decrease in oral bacteria.
Although, in studies, ubiquinol has been found to improve quality of life, and has proven to be a positive support in battling many age-related diseases, it should not be used in lieu of needed medication or healthy living. Like with any supplement, it is best to consult with your doctor to determine usage and dosage for your particular body.
