When it comes to choosing a CoQ10 supplement, the primary
factor is how many swallowed milligrams actually make it into
your bloodstream. Coenzyme Q10 is a notoriously difficult
nutrient to absorb. A recent study showed that in seriously ill
patients, conventional ubiquinone CoQ10 was hardly
detectable in the blood, whereas the new ubiquinol
resulted in significant blood level increases and subsequent
clinical improvements.
Scientific studies show that ubiquinol absorbs up to 8 times
greater than ubiquinone and that higher levels of ubiquinol
remain in the blood far longer than ubiquinone. In studies
measuring exercise-induced fatigue, ubiquinol was 90% more
effective than ubiquinone. In middle-aged mice, ubiquinol was
shown to be 40% more effective in slowing measurements of aging
compared to ubiquinone.1
Japanese researchers have developed a novel ubiquinol delivery
system that has been shown to double-peak CoQ10 blood levels
(i.e.,100% greater peak absorption) in mice compared to the
original ubiquinol formula. This enhanced ubiquinol formula also
achieved a 66% greater amount of CoQ10 in blood over 24 hours
compared to the original formula.2
Life Extension has been issued an exclusive license to
distribute this enhanced-absorbing ubiquinol.
More humans are supplementing with coenzyme Q10 than ever
before. One reason is the increased awareness that the "statin"
drugs used to lower LDL and cholesterol depletes the body of
CoQ10. What most doctors don't know, however, is that normal
aging may result in a greater reduction in CoQ10 than is caused
by taking statin drugs. For example, while statin drugs have
been shown to reduce plasma CoQ10 by 40%,3
the aging process reduces CoQ10 levels in the heart muscle wall
by 72%.4 What is
particularly frightening is the thought of people taking statin
drugs who fail to supplement with CoQ10. The CoQ10 deficit
caused by the dual affects of aging5
and statin drug use could result in severe depletion of cellular
vitality.
