Ubiquinol: the best form of Q10 in supplements

You may be familiar with them: food supplements with coenzyme Q10, or Q10 for short. Q10 has two variants: an active and reduced form (ubiquinol) or an inactive, oxidized form (ubiquinone). Ubiquinol is the body's own and therefore biologically most active form of Q10. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form of Q10; after ingestion, the body still has to convert it itself before it benefits from the active Q10. In this blog we tell you more about the importance of Q10 and the benefit of ubiquinol.

A good Q10 production in the body is important!

Q10 is a fat-soluble compound and a substance that we produce ourselves in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas and which is then distributed throughout the body. As we get older, the natural production of Q10 decreases considerably. Thus, the ability to convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol decreases with age. The largest decrease takes place in the heart. In addition to aging, there are several factors that can ensure that this conversion no longer proceeds optimally: with intensive exercise more than twice a week, with the use of cholesterol-lowering medication, with prolonged exposure to moments of stress, if you smoke and with an unbalanced diet. .

Little ubiquinol in food

Ubiquinol is present in almost everything we eat, but to get to the recommended 100 milligrams per day, you would need to eat 3.5 kilograms of beef, 120 cans of sardines or 60 avocados daily. Dietary supplements are therefore a good way to maintain the level of ubiquinol in the blood. Research has shown that administration of ubiquinol in both animals and humans results in higher Q10 levels in the blood plasma. The differences are even more pronounced among the elderly than among young people. To determine whether your body needs a supplement of ubiquinol, it is good to discuss this with a health professional.
