Super Antioxidants

Archive for January, 2010

Ubiquinol Coenzyme Q10 is found in amost every cell of the body, including the brain, heart, liver, and skeletal muscles. It actually is a carrier that transfers electrons through the membrane of mitochondria( the power generator in the bodies cells) to drive the production of adenosine triphosphate( ATP). ATP is fuel that energizes the cells in our body. Heart muscle cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria, 5, 000 per cell.

The older kind of COQ10, called ubiquinone, was Okay when that is all we had available. Ubiquinone absorbed very badly and the conversion to ubiquinol was extremely slow. But today we have ubiquinol, which is approximately eight times more absorbable and can be used by the body practically immediately without conversion. As we age, our bodies can replace less and less. from food sources and our total levels of CoQ10 drop. Also our ability to metabolize CoQ10 into the bio – available form our body really needs drops too and that is why it may be advised to supplement with ubiquinol..

Here are some reasons take into consideration supplementation:

Energy and Body Support

• Chemical catalyst helping energy production
• Increase stamina
• Produces high levels of ATP cell energy
• Ubiquinol is said to be responsible for generating 95 % of total body energy
• Increase exercise capacity
• Boosts memory and brain function
• Ubiquinol increase blood levels of COQ10 greatly.
• Enhances immune system builds antibody production
• Increases oxygen utilization

Heart and Cardiovascular System

• Strengthens cardiovascular system
• Builds heart energy in mitochondria
• Helps maintain energy levels and balance
• Necessary to protect against heart failure.
• Helps maintain and lower blood pressure
• Replace ubiquinol removed by statin drugs
• Protects against oxidation of cholesterol

Antioxidant Power

• Works inside cells crosses blood brain barrier
• Protects DNA, proteins and cells from free radical damage
• Decreases the aging process
• Recharges other antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C and E
• Shown to slow aging in mice by 51 %
