Bluebonnet Cellular Active CoQ10 Ubiquinol 50 Mg, 30 Ct

Cellular Active CoQ10 Ubiquinol 50 mg Softgels provide the reduced, active antioxidant form of CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) rather than the oxidized form of CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) currently sold on the market, which must be converted to the reduced, active antioxidant form in the body. Bluebonnet's Cellular Active CoQ10 Ubiquinol 50 mg is available in easy-to-swallow softgels for maximum assimilation and absorption. Free radicals are generated by exposure to harmful environmental factors, such as: smog, ozone, chemicals, drugs, smoking and radiation, as well as during normal physiological processes, especially in defense against microbes and other foreign substances. Free radicals can damage DNA, proteins and lipids within cells, altering or inhibiting cellular function. Coenzyme Q10 is a lipid-soluble, vitamin-like substance that is present in nearly all human tissues and is essential for the cellular processes of energy production in the mitochondria. CoQ10 functions as an antioxidant in both the mitochondria and lipid membranes by either scavenging free radicals directly or in conjunction with tocopherol. In the plasma of healthy humans, more than 90 percent of CoQ10 exists in the reduced, active � antioxidant form Ubiquinol and accounts for the largest percentage of CoQ10 found in the heart, intestines and liver. However, many factors have been found to compromise the levels of Ubiquinol in the body: the normal aging process, certain medications, oxidative stress, etc. For example, as the body ages, it not only produces less CoQ10, but it is less able to convert the common, non-active form of CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) to the more readily available, active form (Ubiquinol). Therefore, providing the active antioxidant form of CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) - especially to seniors - will ensure that they are getting a form that their bodies can immediately utilize. Dietary sources high in CoQ10 include liver, beef, chicken and some oils.
