It is now well-known that the body’s highest concentrations of Coenzyme Q10 are found in the heart, where a constant supply of chemical energy is imperative. In addition, this ubiquitous compound also functions as a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect vascular structures (and other tissues) from oxidation and free radical attack.* Under ideal conditions CoQ10 is converted within the body into Ubiquinol – the easily utilized reduced form of CoQ10. In light of CoQ10’s ever-evolving popularity, it is Ubiquinol that accounts for more than 80% of the body’s total CoQ10 supply. As our bodies age, biological processes that assist in the conversion of CoQ10 to Ubiquinol can gradually begin to wane in effectiveness, resulting in less CoQ10 being converted to active Ubiquinol.

Over time, the body’s diminishing availability of Ubiquinol can affect those systems which depend on it for many basic cellular functions. Considering the role it plays in virtually all of the body’s cells, it is important for older individuals who supplement CoQ10 to select a form that can be converted into its biologically-active state. NOW® Ubiquinol 200 mg is a high-potency cardiovascular support formula that contains the more easily-absorbed, reduced form of CoQ10. We’ve added MCT Oil (medium chain triglyceride) to this innovative formula to naturally improve solubility, while further enhancing intestinal absorption and augmenting its overall biological value.
