Description
Protocol for Life Balance Ubiquinol 200 mg is a high-strength ubiquinol softgel for people who want the active form of CoQ10 in a single daily serve. Each bottle contains 60 softgels, and the label directs you to take it with a fat-containing meal.
What is ubiquinol?
Ubiquinol is the active form of CoQ10 produced naturally within the body, and it plays a central role in cellular energy production. Protocol for Life Balance describes it as having powerful free radical neutralising activity, which is important for protecting biological membranes against oxidative stress and for regenerating antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E. The brand states that scientific studies indicate ubiquinol can help support normal cardiovascular and neuronal functions, and that clinical trials show superior bioavailability compared with other forms of CoQ10.
Key details
- 200 mg ubiquinol per softgel, as listed on the product
- 60 softgels per bottle, a 60 day supply at one softgel daily
- Contains only the natural, all-trans form of CoQ10 produced by fermentation, according to the label
- Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soya, milk, egg, fish or shellfish ingredients
Other ingredients: MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides, from coconut or palm kernel oil), soft gel capsule (bovine gelatine, glycerine, water, carob) and beeswax. It is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens. Because it contains bovine gelatine and beeswax, it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
How to use it
Take 1 softgel daily with a fat-containing meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. CoQ10 is fat soluble, so pairing it with a meal that includes some healthy fats, such as eggs, avocado or olive oil, fits naturally with that direction. If you are taking warfarin or other anticoagulant medicines, consult your healthcare practitioner before you use this product. Natural colour variation may occur in this product.
Choosing a strength
If 200 mg is more than you want, the same brand makes Protocol for Life Balance Ubiquinol 100 mg. To compare another 200 mg ubiquinol, see Solgar Ubiquinol 200 mg. You can also browse our heart health supplements for products people use alongside CoQ10.
Before you buy
Because the label asks for a fat-containing meal, it helps to plan which meal you will pair it with, for example breakfast or dinner. A single bottle covers two months at one softgel daily. Read the label in full before use.
