Solgar Ubiquinol 100 mg - 50 Softgels

What is Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble substance found naturally in all cells of the human body. It plays a fundamental role in cellular energy production, especially in organs with high energy demands such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. With age, CoQ10 levels decrease, which can affect normal energy metabolism. CoQ10 also acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals that cause oxidative stress.

There are two main forms of CoQ10: ubiquinone (oxidized form) and ubiquinol (reduced form). Ubiquinol is the active form that the body can use directly, without the need for conversion. Solgar Ubiquinol 100 mg provides this reduced form in softgels for optimal absorption.

Science-backed Benefits

Coenzyme Q10 has health claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Specifically, it has been established that CoQ10 contributes to normal energy metabolism (ID 1508) and contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage (ID 1509).

Solgar Ubiquinol offers these benefits in a 100 mg per softgel presentation, with vegetable oils that promote its assimilation. As it is the reduced form, the body can use it immediately, which is especially relevant for older people or those with absorption problems.

Additionally, this product is free from gluten, wheat, dairy, yeast, sugar, and sodium, as well as artificial flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. Solgar, with over 70 years of experience, manufactures its supplements in small batches using selected raw materials.

Ubiquinone vs. Ubiquinol: Which to choose?

Ubiquinone is the oxidized form of CoQ10, the most common in supplements. Once ingested, the body must convert it to ubiquinol to be able to use it. This conversion process can become less efficient with age or under certain health conditions.

Ubiquinol, on the other hand, is the reduced, bioavailable form that the body can use directly. For this reason, ubiquinol supplements are considered a more effective option for those seeking rapid and loss-free absorption. Solgar Ubiquinol 100 mg offers this advantage in an oil-based softgel, designed to maximize absorption.

For young and healthy individuals, ubiquinone may be sufficient, but if a more direct supplementation is desired or if there are conversion problems, ubiquinol is the optimal choice. Consult a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable form according to your needs.

Recommended dosage and how to take it

The recommended daily dose of Solgar Ubiquinol is one softgel per day, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve its absorption (e.g., with breakfast or the main meal). Each package contains 50 capsules, equivalent to a 50-day supply.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Keep the product in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
