Heart Health Benefits from Ubiquinol

Ubiquinol for Hearth Health


Ubiquinol supports cardiovascular health. The heart is one of the most energy intensive organs in the body, needing energy to continually pump. Ubiquinol is a key component required for cellular ATP energy production, the body’s primary fuel.

This fuel is used for three basic yet critical heart functions:
Contraction – to keep the heart pumping consistently Relaxation – to allow the heart to rest between beats
Molecular Synthesis – to maintain the heart’s structure by building important cellular components

Ubiquinol is a powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant, reducing free radical damage to the body’s cells, supporting overall health and wellbeing.

 

Ubiquinol helps in the maintenance of healthy blood lipids

Ubiuquinol acts as an antioxidant and helps support healthy cholesterol and blood vessels.

The Australian Heart Foundation reports that 33 percent of Australians have high total cholesterol8 (levels higher than 5.5 mmol/L) – quite a significant number.

Australia has the third highest use of cholesterol-lowering medications in the developed world.1

Statin drugs are the most common class of these medications. They work by inhibiting the body’s production of cholesterol, but in doing so, also deplete natural levels of CoQ10 and other essential vitamins and nutrients.

Ubiquinol supplementation helps to maintain healthy blood levels in the body when taking certain medications.4, 5
