Why use 'reduced CoQ10'?
Because supplementing with standard CoQ10 may not be enough.
Some people have a tough time converting CoQ10 to its active, reduced form. By supplementing with reduced CoQ10, you can more easily support cellular energy and overall health.†
CoQ10 is converted by the body to its active form, QH - an essential step in the production of cellular energy. However, the conversion rate of CoQ10 to QH tends to decline with age.
Why take ActivLife Q10?
Proven bioavailability - your body can use it faster and easier.†
ActivLife Q10 has been demonstrated to increase plasma levels of total CoQ10 up to 62%.†
Up to 8 times the absorption of other CoQ10s.
Proven 2.5 times improvement in energy and stamina.†
ActivLife Q10 is a breakthrough - a stabilized form of reduced CoQ10.
Until now, reduced Q10 wasn't stable in supplemental form. ActivLife Q10 uses patented processing that prevents oxidation and ensures a stable supplement.
Is ubiquinol the same as CoQ10 (ubiquinone)?
Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10) and Ubiquinol (QH) are closely related compounds naturally occurring in the human body. CoQ10 is converted to its active form, QH, as a necessary and essential step in the production of cellular energy. The conversion rate of CoQ10 to QH tends to decline with age, resulting in lower serum levels of QH. A genetic trait in the human population has also been linked to impaired ability to conduct this conversion.
How does stabilized ubiquinol assist the body’s cellular energy production?
Cellular respiration is a multi-step process by which calories from food are converted into cellular energy and stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Ubiquinol is a powerful antioxidant which contributes to this energy production inside cells.†
How is ActivLife Q10 superior to other CoQ10 supplements?
ActivLife Q10 provides stabilized ubiquinol, which is the active form of CoQ10. In this form no conversions are needed for the body to derive the greatest benefit from the oral supplement.†
What is ubiquinol or ActivLife Q10?
Ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Produced naturally within healthy bodies, ubiquinol is CoQ10 that has been converted (“reduced”) for use in the cellular energy production process.† In addition to its critical role in energy production, it is the strongest lipid-soluble antioxidant available, protecting the body’s cells from oxidative stress which can cause damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA†.
If CoQ10 has been around for 30 years, why is ubiquinol just now entering the market?
Since ubiquinol is easily oxidized in the air, it has been difficult to develop a stable supply in a reduced supplement form. However, using advanced technology, scientists at Kaneka Corporation have been able to perfect a stabilization process by which ubiquinol remains in its reduced form outside of the body.
I've heard that ActivLife Q10 sustains natural energy.† What does this mean?
Ubiquinol is required for the body to generate energy. Restoring this vital nutrient to optimal levels in people over 40 will restore the same type of youthful energy the body produced when it could efficiently convert CoQ10 to ubiquinol and maintain adequate concentrations of ubiquinol in plasma and tissues.† Thus, supplementing with KanekaQH™ brand ubiquinol, found in ActivLife Q10, is the ideal way to restore and sustain natural energy.†
How much CoQ10 (ubiquinone) would equal the CoQ10 in ActivLife Q10?
Ubiquinol is the active form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, also called ubiquinone)). Stable ubiquinol has been scientifically shown to increase energy and stamina, enhance healthy blood glucose metabolism, and support healthy aging.†
It is difficult to make an direct comparison between ubiquinone (regular CoQ10) and ubiquinol (the form of CoQ10 in ActivLife Q10) because some people process regular CoQ10 better than others. However, research shows an increase in plasma levels of total CoQ10 up to 62% higher than traditional CoQ10 supplementation.†
