Product Description
There are two forms of Q10, the reduced (ubiquinol) and the unreduced (ubiquinone) form. Natural production is only possible for the unreduced form (ideally via plant fermentation), but both forms are present in our bodies and in foods, and we need both. The reduced form is very sensitive to heat, acid, and light, it is oxidized even by stomach acid. Therefore, we can only get the unreduced form orally. However, our body can convert this form to the reduced form as needed, so even though we can only access the oxidized form, our body circulates roughly the same amount of ubiquinol and ubiquinone. The reduction is carried out by our antioxidant system, which can perform this perfectly with proper nutrition and, for example, a small amount of vitamin C, so taking the reduced form orally would be futile.
Q10 is a crystalline substance that is poorly soluble in aqueous media, but dissolves well in oily media only when warmed up, and its solubility is difficult to maintain, while its absorption is poor due to the lack of crystalline-free state.
In this product, the manufacturer implemented a new solution, a simple one that had not been used by others until now, to address this problem: they created the highest concentration Q10 solution possible, which is capable of keeping the Q10 in a crystalline-free, dissolved state over a wide temperature range. They used MCT oil obtained from sustainable palm kernels, to ensure absorption even in case of insufficient bile production. To ensure stability and support the proper reduction of Q10 within the body, they also added their unique antioxidant system, which includes tocopherols and tocotrienols obtained from supercritical extraction of Greek sage leaves, red palm fruits, and vegetable oils.
The effects of Coenzyme Q10 based on clinical trials can be as follows:
- Improved circulation, blood flow, endothelial function, status of antioxidant-producing enzymes, and even erectile function in studies...
- Exercise improved performance in multiple studies, enhancing VO2 max (VO2 max indicates the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during exercise), sperm quality and motility, as well as overall quality of life.
- Significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, fibromyalgia, Prader Willi syndrome, and Peyronie's disease symptoms in studies.
- Studies have shown that orally taken Q10 can slightly reduce skin damage caused by UV radiation, fatigue, symptoms of Parkinson's disease, muscle injury, the risk of preeclampsia, and blood pressure.
Dosage: We recommend consuming 5 ml (2 tsp) daily, either in one or multiple servings. It is best taken with or without meals. It is advisable to start with just 1 teaspoon in the first few days, as MCT oil may cause mild diarrhea in sensitive individuals initially (this is very rare at doses below 10 ml per day). Over time, this will subside, and the dosage can be increased.
