Supplementing with Ubiquinol vs CoQ10 for Sports Recovery: Here’s what you need to know

Playing sports and being physically active can have high rewards—including feeling and looking fit, as well as improving your overall health.

Despite these obvious benefits, sometimes the discomfort associated with regular sport can leave you feeling fatigued and unmotivated.

While this may be attributed to sore muscles and other symptoms from physical exertion, fatigue and recovery can be assisted through additional dietary supplementation including essential antioxidants like Ubiquinol and CoQ10.

Keep reading to find out more about how these two powerful antioxidants stack up against each other when it comes to sports recovery.

 

CoQ10 for Sports Recovery

CoQ10 also known as Coenzyme Q10—is a nutrient that is found naturally in every cell within the body. Our bodies need CoQ10 to support energy production and assist organ performance. As we age, our naturally occurring levels of CoQ10 begin to deplete and decline. People with low levels of CoQ10 will likely begin to experience fatigue, as their body organs are not receiving as much cellular support.

 

Ubiquinol for Sport Recovery

Ubiquinol is the active and bioavailable form of CoQ10, meaning that it is much more easily absorbed by your body. More than 98% of the total CoQ10 in plasma in a young, healthy body is in the Ubiquinol form.  As one of the strongest naturally occurring antioxidants in the body, it helps to support and increase your energy levels naturally.

Unlike the quick energy boost you would experience from consuming a sugary sport drinks before and after a workout or match, ongoing Ubiquinol supplementation helps support consistent energy levels throughout the day and may improve your sports performance. Ubiquinol has also been shown to reduce post-exercise inflammation associated with sore muscles.

In fact, a German study consisting of over 100 athletes demonstrated enhanced physical performance with six weeks of daily supplementation of 300mg Ubiquinol, as measured by maximum power output. The effect of Ubiquinol supplementation significantly enhanced peak power production in comparison to placebo[i].
