I am full of energy! Eating healthy, exercising regularly and supplementing all help!
You may have seen CoQ10 in health food stores and wondered what all the hype is about. Well many cardiologists are calling it a wonder drug, even though it is an all natural supplement. My own anti-aging doctor prescribes high doses of CoQ10 to his patients with heart issues. He puts the rest of his patients (like me) on a preventive daily dose.
The compound is called ubiquinol and it is the active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) that your body can readily use. This is actually the only form of CoQ10 that humans can use. According to Dr. Mercola, if you are over 25, you need the reduced form of Co Q10, ubiquinol. If you are under 25, your body is capable of converting Co Q10 from the oxidized to the reduced form.
Ubiquinol is CoQ10 that has been converted into a substance necessary for use in cellular energy production. Therefore, supplementing with CoQ10 can help boost your body’s cellular energy production. CoQ10 limits our body’s free radical production and therefore affects the aging process (wow!).
