NOW Supplements Ubiquinol

Noticed a difference in my overall appearance when I supplement with these little beauties. I’m not as bloated or feeling puffy. It’s hard to explain, but I appreciate the positive effects. It’s best to take them first thing in the morning before food.

Flu details

Regained normal levels

Very helpful for high heart rate and blood pressure due to influenza. Normally, I have low blood pressure and pulse, but when I had the flu, I experienced high blood pressure of 140/90 and a pulse in the high 80s at rest. After taking ubiquinol and motherwort for a couple of weeks, both returned to normal levels. Research indicates that the influenza virus depletes coenzyme Q10 levels.

I've been using NOW brand for over a year based on my doctor's recommendation to take this CoQ10 variety. Although it is pricier, I'm sorry I stopped using it for a while. I was suffering from leg cramps nearly every day, but once I resumed my supply and took it regularly, the cramps disappeared.

Multiple Sclerosis details

This product works efficiently; Kanaka Rocks! It helps me maintain a high level of energy. After my multiple bypass operation, I felt much better when I used this alongside other treatments. I noticed a significant difference when I forgot it whilst on statins, as it notably reduces the muscle ache associated with that!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome details

Polycystic ovary syndrome has seen improvement on my PCOS journey. The quality is exceptional, the ingredients are beneficial, and the dosage is effective. The taste is minimal, and the formulation is appropriate for ovarian cysts. It has alleviated my symptoms. Naturally, I also use it alongside other products, like Mayo Instol.

Tinnitus details

Reduces tinnitus effectively

I used to take ubiquinol, which made me feel queasy on an empty stomach. However, this one is perfect—high strength and easy to digest. My tinnitus has genuinely improved.

Bacterial Infection details

Heart function restored

As a health coach, I recognise the significance of Ubiquinol for heart health, especially for those on cholesterol medication. After I developed a bacterial infection affecting my heart, I took Ubiquinol, which restored my heart's normal rhythm. I experienced no more ectopic beats and didn't require any drugs. This particular product genuinely works.

After I had covid, I started taking ubiquinol due to weakness, fatigue, and dizziness. The following day I felt more alert. Within a week, my strength significantly improved, and I was pleased to walk long distances, something I struggled with before as I tired easily. The dizziness has nearly vanished, and I've started to sleep better. I now take one capsule daily, hoping it will aid my full recovery.

Liver Disease details

Chronic anaemia improvement

I take this for my liver health in my early 60s, and my symptoms of chronic anaemia have vanished, leaving me less fatigued. The ingredients are trustworthy and the small size makes it easy to take. Highly recommended for those dealing with liver disease.

Angina details

Definitely had an effect; I bought this supplement thinking it would work like a charm, and it truly did. I purchased it for my mother, who suffered from angina for about a decade, experiencing painful episodes once a month. Despite numerous hospital visits, no abnormalities were found, and I was told it was a psychological issue. However, it occurred even during restful activities, like folding laundry or watching television. After a diagnosis of coronary spasm angina, I started her on coenzyme Q10, which I read could be effective. Remarkably, since she began taking it daily over the past year, she hasn’t had any chest pains. Occasionally, if she misses it for a week, she feels a familiar pain, but it subsides before it can develop. I am grateful as it has brought her peace of mind regarding her heart.

Blurred Vision details

Reduced blurred vision

I plan to continue. I am currently on my second tablet, hoping it will benefit my skin as I take one after dinner. However, I’m unsure of the effects of astaxanthin alone, as there are numerous other factors affecting my skin. I have noticed that my blurred vision seems less severe than before. In fact, during the afternoons, I find I can see better without relying on strong glasses.

This is beneficial not just for heart health but also for treating gum infections. If I, or a family member, have gum issues, we take a softgel daily until it resolves, and I apply the liquid directly to the affected area twice daily. It’s crucial for anyone on statins to take Q10/ubiquinol regularly, as it helps mitigate the damage caused by statins.

Arthritis details

CoQ10 shows promise for arthritis

Abdollahzad H, Aghdashi MA, Asghari Jafarabadi M, Alipour B. Effects of Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation on Inflammatory Cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and Oxidative Stress in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Arch Med Res. 2015;46:527. doi:10.1016/j.arcmed.2015.08.006

We explored the effects of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation on individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, a condition characterized by heightened levels of inflammation. Conducted as a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, our study included 44 participants, divided into two groups: one received 100 mg of CoQ10 daily, while the other took a placebo over a two-month period.

By measuring important markers like malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) before and after the intervention, we aimed to assess how CoQ10 might influence oxidative stress and inflammation.

The results indicated a significant decrease in serum MDA levels among those who took CoQ10, suggesting improved oxidative stress levels. Additionally, we noted a suppression of TNF-α, a key inflammatory cytokine. However, we found no significant changes in TAC or IL-6 levels between the two groups, which indicates that while CoQ10 seems to offer some benefits in reducing certain inflammatory markers, its overall effect on oxidative stress and other pro-inflammatory cytokines may be more limited than anticipated.

Thus, this study highlights the potential of CoQ10 as a supplementary treatment for managing inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, although further research is needed to fully understand its role compared to other forms such as ubiquinol.

Autoimmune Disorder details

I have been using this product for 5 years, and for the last 3 years I have purchased it from iHerb. At 52, I experienced serious health issues related to menopause, including weight gain, swollen legs, and shortness of breath. Along with hypertension medication and acupuncture, I incorporated ubiquinol, which alleviated these symptoms. I now take 2 capsules daily, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy diet. Proper nutrition and exercise are essential; without them, supplements are a waste.

Cancer details

Ubiquinol aids radiation gut health

Eraqi WA, El-Sabbagh WA, Aziz RK, Elshahed MS, Youssef NH, et al. Gastroprotective and microbiome-modulating effects of ubiquinol in rats with radiation-induced enteropathy. Anim Microbiome. 2024;6:40. doi:10.1186/s42523-024-00320-9

In a fascinating exploration of how ubiquinol may aid in managing cancer-related issues, we investigated its effects on radiation-induced enteropathy—a condition that can severely impact patients undergoing radiotherapy. Using a well-structured study design, we divided male albino rats into four groups: one that received only radiation, and three others that received varying treatments with ubiquinol either before or after exposure to radiation.

Our findings revealed that the rats treated with ubiquinol showed marked improvements in gut health when compared to those that only experienced radiation. We saw indications of enhanced healing in their intestinal tissues, including the recovery of important cells and reduced inflammation markers. Notably, the gut microbiomes of the ubiquinol-treated groups began to resemble those of healthy control rats, indicating that this treatment may help restore balance to the gut flora disrupted by radiation.

This research highlights the potential of ubiquinol not only to protect the gut from radiation damage but also to support overall health in cancer patients by aiding in the recovery of gut microbiota diversity. It seems that ubiquinol could indeed play a significant role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals undergoing cancer treatments, particularly those affected by gastrointestinal side effects.

Excellent ubiquinol. It is the reduced form of Coenzyme Q10, meaning it is absorbed more efficiently. This potent antioxidant is often lacking in our diets, especially after 30, leading to quicker skin aging and potentially diminishing organ and cognitive function. Ubiquinol is crucial for countering free radicals, which can cause cellular dysfunction and elevate cancer risk. Sufficient intake can avert various diseases, from cancer to Alzheimer's. Ubiquinol has also proven effective in treating COVID-19 and its aftermath. I highly recommend it for regular use and therapeutic purposes!

Hypertension details

Ubiquinol shows partial benefits

Kuropatkina T, Pavlova O, Gulyaev M, Pirogov Y, Khutorova A, et al. Sex-Dependent Protective Effect of Combined Application of Solubilized Ubiquinol and Selenium on Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Wistar Rats. Antioxidants (Basel). 2022;11. doi:10.3390/antiox11030549

We explored the impact of ubiquinol on pulmonary hypertension using a model that mimics this serious condition. In our study, rats were injected with monocrotaline, a substance known to induce pulmonary hypertension. Over the course of the experiment, we provided various groups of these rats with different treatments, including solubilized ubiquinol and selenium, to see how these substances could protect against the effects of the disease.

The results were quite enlightening. We observed that ubiquinol administered intravenously had a protective effect, especially in male rats. This treatment reduced the right ventricle hypertrophy and lung mass commonly associated with elevated blood pressure in the lungs. Interestingly, when we combined ubiquinol with selenium, we found a less severe increase in right ventricle systolic pressure in males but not in females, indicating a sex-dependent effect that suggests females may not experience the same benefits from this combination treatment.

However, it's worth noting that the relative mass of the right ventricle did not show significant differences across all treatment groups. This suggests that while ubiquinol can be beneficial, particularly in males, the overall benefits may be limited and not as pronounced in females. Magnetic resonance imaging further revealed impaired lung perfusion in most rats tested, with signs of pulmonary fibrosis only present in the group receiving ubiquinol.

Overall, while ubiquinol shows potential in addressing pulmonary hypertension, its effectiveness might vary based on sex and should be approached with cautious optimism.

Ubiquinol shows promise in stroke

Jia Z, Yu X, Wang X, Li J. Therapeutic Effects of Coenzyme Q10 in the Treatment of Ischemic Stroke. Curr Nutr Rep. 2024;13:679. doi:10.1007/s13668-024-00568-2

We explored how ubiquinol, a form of coenzyme Q10, may help in treating ischemic stroke. The brain is particularly vulnerable after a stroke due to oxidative stress, which can lead to further damage. Thus, the potential of antioxidants like ubiquinol becomes very interesting.

Recent studies suggest that ubiquinol can protect the brain in several ways. It works against oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death, potentially offering a multi-faceted approach to treating ischemic stroke. Evidence has been gathered from multiple angles—laboratory experiments, animal studies, and clinical observations—to highlight these protective effects.

Our findings emphasize the promising role of ubiquinol in neuroprotection following ischemic stroke. Given the significant deficiency of its reduced form in the brain, ubiquinol could serve as a valuable candidate for treatment and prevention strategies moving forward.

There are improvements. About eight months ago, my heart problems worsened. Appointments yielded no results, and I developed swollen lymph nodes. I had to figure it out myself and discovered Ubiquinol. After three days of taking it, I felt an improvement. To say I am delighted is an understatement; I no longer wake up at night feeling suffocated, and my sleep has improved. My energy levels have returned. Previously, neither sleep nor rest helped me regain my strength. At 60+, I believe I can manage the issue with Ubiquinol.

Diabetes details

Mitochondrial cocktail shows promise

Mokhtari B, Høilund-Carlsen PF, Chodari L, Yasami M, Badalzadeh R, et al. Melatonin/nicotinamide mononucleotide/ubiquinol: a cocktail providing superior cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in a common co-morbidities modelled rat. Mol Biol Rep. 2023;50:3525. doi:10.1007/s11033-022-08189-0

We aimed to understand how a combination of melatonin, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and ubiquinol could provide heart protection during episodes of reduced blood supply, known as ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, especially in older rats with diabetes.

Our study involved male Wistar rats, aged between 22 and 24 months, that were induced with type-2 diabetes through a combination of a high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin. We carefully organized the rats into different groups to receive various combinations of treatments, evaluating their heart health after inducing I/R through a temporary blockage of blood supply.

The results showed that the combined treatment notably improved heart function and reduced damage from I/R injury. Not only did this trio enhance mitochondrial function, but it also increased the expression of important genes related to mitochondrial health.

While we didn't isolate the effects of ubiquinol alone, the promising outcomes associated with this mitochondrial cocktail suggest it could be beneficial for heart protection, particularly in older diabetic patients.

Ubiquinol is great for heart health and helps with gum infections. I take one softgel daily for gum issues and apply it directly to the affected area. If you’re on statins, it's vital to supplement with Q10/ubiquinol due to the damage statins can cause.

Heart Attack details

SCIENTIFIC SCORE

Likely Very Effective

Based on 2 Researches

Mitochondrial cocktail enhances heart protection

We designed a study with male Wistar rats, aged 22-24 months and induced with type-2 diabetes, to investigate how a combination of three mitochondrial agents—melatonin, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and ubiquinol—could provide protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, especially in the context of aging and diabetes.

The rats were split into groups receiving different treatments, including some that received the cocktail of supplements just during the reperfusion phase after inducing I/R injury. Over 28 days leading up to the tests, rats received NMN, while melatonin and ubiquinol were administered as the heart was being revived after ischemia.

The results indicated that the combination therapy notably enhanced heart protection and improved mitochondrial function and biogenesis in these aged diabetic rats. While ubiquinol was an important part of this cocktail, it is essential to view its role as one among several synergistic agents. This points to exciting possibilities for improved heart health strategies, particularly for older individuals with diabetes.
