Ubiquinol CoQ10

If you’ve been reading about the huge health benefits of Ubiquinol and Ubiquinone you may be wondering how you could get a good dose of the stuff by eating the right foods, rather than taking it as a dietary supplement.

You could start your day with a big piece of salmon or perhaps a large helping of spinach in the form of perhaps Eggs Florentine.  A pile of sardine sandwiches midway through the morning will help, along with a bag of peanuts followed by a big juicy steak for dinner.

If you’re a vegan or vegetarian you’re kind of stuffed, only a small amount of Ubiquinol is present in fruit and vegetables. And you are under 21? Why do I ask? Because if you’re older than that your body has probably stopped being able to process ubiquinone, you need the more readily assimilable form which is Ubiquinol. You can eat all the things mentioned above, you’ll just have to eat more of them if you’re an adult.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with trying to get all our vitamins and minerals from our diet, but for most of us who eat a typical Western diet and lead stressful, busy lives, it’s nearly impossible to get enough Ubiquinol.

Most people are suffering from supplement-overload. Every day it seems that there’s some miracle-breakthrough-amazing pill that we absolutely must take so we can live longer, healthier lives, but how many of them actually live up to over 50 years of testing and research? Ubiquinol does.

Japanese scientists first started looking at ubiquinone back in the early 1950s but it’s only been a few years since they have been able to find a process that can turn ubiquinone into Ubiquinol. Before that it took a long time for the body to process this vitamin-like substance, which has similar antioxidant qualities to Vitamins E and K – only better.

Over 12 million Japanese have now been prescribed Ubiquinol to help combat heart disease, and American physicians are now realizing its benefits as a supplement for people with high cholesterol who take statins, which can decrease the amount of Ubiquinone in the liver by up to 40%.

Ubiquinol could easily replace many dietary supplements as it has a myriad of powerful functions. Overall it improves cell health by combining with ATP to create energy. It’s also a powerful antioxidant, helping to eliminate free radicals which can cause cardiovascular disease cancer and other diseases.  It is also used in the treatment of migraines and arthritis, and research is continuing on its benefits for warding off brain diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Take a long look at the supplements you’re taking. You can finish off the Vitamin C and replace those pills with a glass of fresh orange juice. Get rid of the Vitamins K & E – Ubiquinol is better. It’s also good for oral and visual health, migraines, arthritis and muscular pain. In fact it’s good for every cell in our body and could replace a whole medicine cabinet full of pills and potions. Who likes boiled spinach for breakfast anyway!  Ubiquinol could replace it all!

We all know by now that eating a healthy diet will help us fight aging, make us look and feel better and help our bodies fight disease, but what can Ubiqinol do that has created such a buzz?

Firstly, what impressed us the most about Ubiqinol is the huge amount of clinical research that has been done all around the world. In some cases, over 10 years of research has been conducted and the results and benefits are all positive. There aren’t too many other coenzymes that have undergone this kind of scrutiny! Of course, when it actually comes to reading any of those clinical papers it’s nearly impossible to understand what they’re going on about. So here we’re going to explain a little about how antioxidants, especially Ubiqinol, work.

Antioxidants are found mostly in fruits and vegetables and whole grains, and generally the more colorful the fruit or vegetable, the higher the content of vitamins A, C and E, which are all antioxidants.

As we age, oxidization occurs when the body loses electrons to electrically charged molecules of oxygen in the bloodstream, known as free radicals. If you’re under 21 the body has ways to fight these free radicals, but if you drink, smoke, sunbathe regularly, get infections or spend time in a toxic environment, free radicals increase and can leave the body susceptible to disease and the aging process increases.

Ubiqinone has been proven to fight this process. It is found naturally in the foods we eat, including oranges, fish, broccoli and all kinds of meat but many of us are simply not getting enough of it to make a big difference. It is most concentrated in organ meats such as chicken hearts and in beef and pork and other sources include meats, fish, oil, nuts, and vegetables.

The USDA recommends we eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day and about 10 servings of whole grains in order to benefit from naturally occurring free radical fighting antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, but who can do that every day! By taking Ubiqinol in supplement form daily, we can ensure that we get the recommended requirement of 0.5 grams per day.

Although you can’t treat any condition such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer’s by taking a daily supplement of Ubiquinol, we can help our bodies fight the free radicals that may actually cause these kinds of diseases.  It maintains tissue health in the brain, heart, kidneys and all other organs of the body, including the skin.

Therefore this amazing supplement can help maintain healthy gums, reduce the signs of aging by fighting wrinkles and help maintain blood pressure levels by keeping heart muscles healthy. Ubiquinol has also been proven to increase mental clarity and helps to maintain a healthy immune system.

The benefits of taking a daily Ubiquinol supplement are enormous, so if you want to stay healthy, look younger, help your body fight disease and the signs of aging, this will probably be one of the wisest decisions you’ll ever make.

Ubiquinone, in the form of Ubiquinol has now been around for over 5 years and is rapidly becoming the number one supplement in the US for a wide variety of reasons.

Oral health? It’s not something most of us consider apart from when we rinse and smile into the mirror a couple of times a day. I don’t know if doctors still do this, but when I was kid one of the first things my doc told me to do was stick out my tongue.  She would then examine the inside of my mouth and it has only just occurred to me why doctors did this all those years ago!

It’s all to do with systemic health, or the health of our entire body from what goes in to what comes out, so the teeth, gums, tongue and mouth are incredibly important.  If you have rotten teeth and bad breath you are constantly ingesting toxins, some of which are known to affect cardiac health. There is also evidence that other diseases can be caused by poor oral health too, such as diabetes, respiratory problems, and arthritis!

So what can taking a daily supplement of Ubiquinol do to improve oral health?  It’s all back to the term systemic. If you have gum disease (periodontitis) you have inflammation of the gums. This destroys the collagen in the gums, causing teeth to be weak and possibly resulting in tooth loss.

But the inflammation doesn’t just stop in the mouth, all that bad stuff is carried throughout the body, eventually ending up in the liver as a protein that badly affects cellular mitochondria.  Without getting into too much medical-speak, taking a daily supplement of Ubiquinol can raise immunity and lower susceptibility to substances known to cause inflammation in the liver and other major organs.

In a 2003 meeting of the Vitamin Society of Japan the results of a clinical trial were presented showing that Ubiquinol improved antioxidant levels in the saliva, thereby reducing inflammation and improving oral and overall health of test subjects.

Now researchers are looking into the benefits of Ubiquinol for eye health too.  Eye tissue and particularly the retina contain the lowest levels of dry tissue in the body and the retina has the highest rate of oxygen metabolism in the body.  Free radicals cause cell stress by reducing the effectiveness of cells to produce energy – another reason to take a Ubiquinol supplement as CoQ10 fights free radicals, thereby increasing energy throughout all the body’s cells.

You may want to try and read some of the studies that have been conducted all around the world on Ubiquinol for cardiac health, oral and visual health, lowering blood pressure, counteracting the effects of statins, improving memory and brain function, improving the look of aging skin etc., etc., but take our word for it, taking a good quality Ubiquinol supplement daily can do so much for a body, we really want to call it the miracle coenzyme.
