Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb 100 mg - 60 Softgels - High Absorption Co-Q10 - Active Antioxidant Form of Co-Q10 - Supports Mitochondrial Energy Production and Cardiovascular Health - Up to 60 Servings

Product Description Ubiquinol, the reduced, active, antioxidant form of Co-Q10, is significantly better absorbed than regular Co-Q10. Jarrow Formulas’ proprietary QH-absorb formula has been shown clinically to increase Co-Q10 levels by 222% (100 mg per day) and by 777% (300 mg per day) over baseline. Amazon.com Ubiquinones are a series of homologous molecules that possess a quinone active center and an unsaturated fatty tail. Ubiquinones are so named because they are widely distributed (i.e. ubiquitous) in nature and throughout the human body. Structurally they are very similar to the menaquinones, like vitamin K2. The quinone group is like a courier for protons and electrons, which is the critical property that allows ubiquinones to act as antioxidants and as important intermediates in energy generation. The fatty tail is composed of isoprenoid subunits, which are five carbon building blocks that help all living things biosynthesize critical components like immune modulators, essential oils and hormones. The number of isoprenoid units in the fatty tail is often denoted in the name of specific ubiquinones. For instance, ubiquinone-10 is made from ten isoprenoid units. Ubiquinone-10 (aka CoQ10, coenzyme Q10, Q) is more commonly referred to as just "ubiquinone." This is because it is the most prevalent ubiquinone in almost all mammals, including humans. Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb, 100mg, 60 Softgels At a Glance: The active antioxidant form of CoQ10 Supports heart function and antioxidant status* Utilizes the Q-absorb natural, proliposomal delivery system for enhanced absorption Designed for those who seek the superior absorption of ubiquinol (QH) for cardiovascular and antioxidant health* Particularly useful to older consumers who may not activate CoQ10 sufficiently or whose levels may be very low* Supports heart function and antioxidant status*. Utilizes the Q-absorb natural, proliposomal delivery system for enhanced absorption. . Concern about CoQ10 levels is especially important due to concern that cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) work by inhibiting an enzyme that is also responsible for CoQ10-ubiquinol biosynthesis. As a result, anyone taking statins may have reduced levels of CoQ10-ubiquinol. What is Ubiquinol? Ubiquinone and ubiquinol (aka ubiquinol-10, CoQ10-H2, QH, "reduced" CoQ10) are intimately related, as thei
