Herbs of Gold Ubiquinol 100mg 30 capsules

• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is comprised of two closely related

molecules: ubidecarenone (also known as ubiquinone) and ubiquinol.

Ubiquinone is the fully oxidised state of CoQ10, while ubiquinol is the

fully reduced or active form.

• Ubiquinol is the metabolically active form of CoQ10 that is ready for

use in the body. Other forms of CoQ10, such as ubidecarenone, are

converted to ubiquinol prior to use. Ageing leads to a decrease in

the function of the enzyme that converts ubidecarenone to ubiquinol,

resulting in decreasing ubiquinol levels. For anyone over the age of

40, ubiquinol is the preferred CoQ10 supplemental form.

• Ubiquinol is more bioavailable than ubidecarenone, demonstrating

greater absorption and uptake by the body.

• A randomised, double-blind, crossover study examined the

bioavailability of both ubiquinol and ubiquinone using an acute intake

of 100mg in 10 healthy subjects with 2 weeks between treatments. In

the ubiquinol group, plasma concentrations were significantly higher

compared to ubiquinone at 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-intake

(p<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for ubiquinol 72 hours

post-intake was 4.3-fold greater than for ubiquinone1

.

• The ubiquinol in Ubiquinol 100mg is sourced from world-wide

ubiquinol specialist, Kaneka, who use innovative patented technology

to stabilise ubiquinol (which, under normal circumstances, is readily

oxidised by air and converted into ubidecarenone).

• Ubiquinol 100mg contains ubiquinol produced in a natural

fermentation process by yeast. It is in a rice bran oil base, which

provides a stable base. Rice bran oil has a high content of tocotrienols

(antioxidants in the vitamin E family), which provide greater stability

from oxidation than soy oil. 

Each capsule contains:

Ubiquinol-10 (Kaneka QH™)...................................................................................................................................100mg

Contains sulfites.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Caution with antihypertensive medication – ubiquinol may have

additive effects. Monitor blood pressure.

• Caution with warfarin and other antiplatelet and anticoagulant

medication – conflicting reports have shown ubiquinol may decrease,

increase or have no effect on the efficacy of oral anticoagulants. Use

only under the care of a health professional.

CAUTIONS

• None noted at the recommended dose.

SIDE EFFECTS

• Ubiquinol is generally well-tolerated. Less than 1% of people

experience mild gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea,

vomiting, diarr

Adults – Take 1 capsule daily, with food, or as directed by your health professional.
