Ubiquinol is the elevated (active) form of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone).
The role of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) in cellular health and in the production of cellular energy has been extensively studied. In 1978, Peter Mitchell was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research on the role of Q10 in energy production mechanisms at the cellular level.
Coenzyme Q10 is found in all cells of the body and mainly in the membranes of the organelles of the cytoplasm, such as mitochondria.
Ubiquinol is an integral component of the electron transport chain during oxidative phosphorylation, contributing to the production of the cell's energy currency, ATP.
According to studies, ubiquinol appears to have faster absorption and bioavailability compared to ubiquinone.
Dosage: 1 capsule per day
Storage: Store in a cool and dry place and protect from light.
Precautions: Should not be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women.
The active form of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone). Ubiquinol is the elevated (active) form of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone). The role of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) in cellular health and in the production of cellular energy has been the subject of extensive research in recent decades. Coenzyme Q10 is found in all cells of the organism and specifically in the membranes of the organelles of the cytoplasm (endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, cytoskeleton and mitochondria). The amount of coenzyme Q10 produced naturally in the organism decreases with age and with the use of various drugs (such as statins). The largest amount of coenzyme Q10 is found in the mitochondria, as it plays a crucial role in energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. The final result of oxidative phosphorylation is the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy currency of the cell (used to meet cellular energy needs). More specifically, ubiquinone is an integral component of the electron transport chain during oxidative phosphorylation. The active form of coenzyme Q10, which results from the reception of 2 electrons (reduction), is ubiquinol (= elevated form of ubiquinone). Subsequently, ubiquinol transfers these electrons (electron donation) contributing to the addition of a phosphate group to ADP, converting it to ATP. In addition to its important role in cellular energy production, ubiquinol's ability to donate electrons and be oxidized to ubiquinone makes it one of the most important antioxidants in the organism. What is therefore the best as a dietary supplement? Ubiquinone or ubiquinol? In recent years, some studies in the international literature have shown faster absorption and bioavailability of ubiquinol compared to ubiquinone. However, it is still too early to say with certainty that aging is accompanied by a decrease in the body's ability to convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol. Following the latest scientific data, Lamberts has added 100mg ubiquinol to its product range, thus providing another alternative to the health professional. Each capsule provides: Ubiquinol 100mg Dosage: 1 capsule per day. Storage: Store in a cool and dry place and protect from light. Allergies: None. Precautions: Should not be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women.
