I am full of energy! Eating healthy, exercising regularly and supplementing all help!
You may have seen CoQ10 on the shelves at your local health food store and wondered what all the hype is about. It turns out, it’s not just hype—many cardiologists consider it a “wonder supplement,” despite being completely natural.
In fact, my own anti-aging doctor prescribes high doses of CoQ10 for patients with heart concerns and recommends a daily preventive dose for the rest of us (myself included).
So What Is CoQ10?
The form your body can actually use is called ubiquinol—the active, antioxidant version of Coenzyme Q10. According to Dr. Mercola, if you’re over 25, your body has a harder time converting regular CoQ10 into ubiquinol, so supplementing directly with ubiquinol is key.
Ubiquinol plays a critical role in cellular energy production and helps limit free radical damage, making it a powerful ally in aging well, supporting your heart, and improving overall vitality.
