Active CoQH - 60 Softgels

CoQ10, also known as Coenzyme Q10, functions primarily to provide cells with ATP, the primary unit of energy needed to function. CoQ10 also works as an antioxidant in mitochondria and lipid membranes in your body. Active CoQH by Seeking Health provides CoQ10 as ubiquinol, the active form of CoQ10 that can be immediately utilized by the body.

CoQ10 as ubiquinol supports:

• Essential antioxidant function: CoQ10 maintains overall cellular health by preventing oxidation of membrane components and by regenerating other important antioxidants such as Vitamin E.
• Cellular energy: The body requires energy (as ATP) to maintain cell and tissue function. Much of your body’s energy depends on adequate levels of coenzyme Q10 in order to deliver ATP to cells.
• Cardiovascular Health: Under normal conditions, CoQ10 levels are more concentrated in the heart muscle. Research has shown a positive result from administering ubiquinol supplements to patients experiencing chronic heart failure.¹
• May promote weight loss: A recent study conducted at Kyoto University found that using a CoQ10 supplement increases fat metabolism in healthy individuals performing light exercise compared to healthy individuals taking a placebo.²
• Supports healthy aging: Tissue levels of CoQ10 steadily decline with age. As levels decline, so does the ability of cells to maintain adequate energy production and mitigate cell damage as well as they did with adequate CoQ10 levels. Cells This process leads to cell death and ultimately organ dysfunction. When low tissue CoQ10 levels occur, supplementation can restore normal levels.

Active CoQH by Seeking Health provides CoQ10 as ubiquinol instead of more common ubiquinone to meet the needs of individuals who are unable to reduce ubiquinone into ubiquinol, the active form of CoQ10 within the body. Some chronic health conditions may affect the ability to make this conversion, such as diabetes mellitus.

Initial studies suggest ubiquinol has approximately twice the bioavailability of ubiquinone, however, further studies are needed to compare differences between these forms. Active CoQH by Seeking Heatlh provides pure ubiquinol in a vegetable oil base as a natural emulsifying and stabilizing agent. Note: gelatin capsules are animal derived and not suitable for vegetarians.
