Wagner Professional Ubiquinol 150mg 60 Soft Capsules

Supports energy levels
Ubiquinol is best known for its role in energy production, where it helps to convert glucose and fatty acids to ATP inside the mitochondria of each cell.2 The highest concentrations of ubiquinol are found in the heart and the liver.3

As we age, ubiquinol production within the body declines. Production starts to decline from the age of 20 onward, with a sharp drop after 40 years of age. At the same time, the body’s capacity to convert ubidecarenone into ubiquinol reduces. This may result in low levels of ubiquinol in the body, and can lead to feeling tired or fatigued as we grow older.4-5

Supports heart health
1.2 million (6%) Australians adults over 18 years of age have one or more conditions related to cardiovascular disease (CVD).6 There are many causes for CVD, including arterial plaque formation caused by oxidized LDL particles adhering to the arterial walls. Studies have shown that ubiquinol can inhibit the oxidation of LDL particles, and can thus be beneficial to support heart health.7

Helps maintain healthy cholesterol
Research shows that taking Coenzyme Q10 supplements can increase HDL levels, even in those taking statin drugs.8

In 2015 almost 30 million scripts for statins were issued in Australia9. Statins stop the production of cholesterol in the body by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA. Unfortunately, this also hinders CoQ10 production in the body.10

This can result in fatigue and muscle or bone pain for those on statin medication. Studies show that 15 – 25% of those on statin medication experience muscle pain, and that up to 60% of statin users who experience these side effects stop statin therapy. This is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes for the patient.11

Research shows that supplementing with Ubiquinol may help reduce muscle pain and fatigue as a result of statin use. Therefore, recommending Ubiquinol may help with customer compliance, and help them achieve better health outcomes.12-14
