UBIQUINOL BENEFITS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: LATEST RESEARCH PRESENTED AT APP

MARCH 2019, SYDNEY: Clinical studies that demonstrate the benefits of Ubiquinol supplementation in patients with cardiovascular disease were presented at this year’s Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference and Trade Exhibition (APP), held on the Gold Coast, 7-10 March.

“Ubiquinol, is essential for cellular energy production. It has long been known that CoQ10 deficiency might be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease owing to the high energy requirements of the heart,” said Dr Kaplan.

“Research now indicates that supplementing with Ubiquinol may support the heart health of patients with cardiovascular disease and it shows promise for helping to reduce high cholesterol and high blood pressure,” he said.

Ubiquinol the reduced, more active form of the antioxidant, CoQ10, is beneficial for people over the age of 30 and those who are under high stress or are in poor health.

CoQ10 is converted to Ubiquinol before it can be used by the body. After the age of 30, our conversion ability declines[iii] due to factors such as oxidative stress, increased metabolic demand, disease, and statin use. By supplementing with the more absorbable Ubiquinol, plasma concentration levels of Ubiquinol can be increased, potentially providing greater health benefits.[iv]

APP is The Pharmacy Guild of Australia’s annual national conference and the largest pharmacy conference and trade show in Australia.
