Description
NOW Foods Ubiquinol 100 mg is a once-daily softgel that provides ubiquinol, the reduced and active form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), in an MCT oil base. It is available in 60 and 120 softgel bottles.
What is NOW Foods ubiquinol?
Ubiquinol is the reduced and active free radical quencher form of CoQ10. CoQ10 is found in all cells of the body, with especially high concentrations in the heart, and it is essential to mitochondrial energy production. NOW describes it as a powerful, fat-soluble free radical scavenger and says these properties make ubiquinol an ideal supplement for the support of energy production and free radical protection in the heart, vascular structures, brain and neurons.
NOW states that ubiquinol has been shown to be highly bioavailable, and that adding MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) to this product naturally improves its solubility and enhances intestinal absorption.
