CoQnol 100 mg - 60 Softgels

CoQnol™ 100 and CoQnol™ 200 features a unique combination
of ubiquinol, also known as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and
geranylgeraniol (GG) to support mitochondrial and cellular
health.* GG complements the actions of ubiquinol by operating
as an upstream metabolite that helps stimulate the production
of CoQ10 naturally by the body.* Each softgel serving provides
ubiquinol as DuoQuinol™, an innovative patent-pending form of
this molecule, and GG-Gold™, a patented form of GG extracted
from annatto seeds, along with quillaja extract for superior
absorption and bioavailability. Quillaja is an extract from the bark
of the Quillaja saponaria tree, commonly used as an emulsifier
in foods. This proprietary blend creates a stable solution that
prevents crystallization and oxidation of ubiquinol.
Ubiquinone derives its name from the word “ubiquitous” because
it is present everywhere in the human body. It is especially
important for generating energy (adenosine triphosphate) in the
mitochondria, which are the tiny “energy factories” inside most
cells. For this reason, organs and tissues with high energy demands
(such as the heart and liver) have the highest concentrations
of CoQ10. In addition, CoQ10 is one of the body’s most critical
antioxidants helping to protect mitochondrial membranes from
free radical damage and helping to recycle other antioxidants
(such as vitamins C and E).
GG occurs naturally in annatto, flaxseed, sunflower and olive oils, and certain medicinal herbs. GG is crucial for
synthesizing CoQ10, constructing cell membranes, producing energy in the mitochondria, and stimulating the
production of hormones and proper calcium trafficking into the bones.* GG shines in facilitating maintenance
of muscle mass and bone tissue during aging.* GG is needed for protein synthesis and modification, helping
to build proteins and efficiently perform their functions. GG is also required to convert vitamin K1 into the K2
form.* For those who do not consume much dietary K2 (found in egg yolks, liver, and full-fat dairy products),
the human body converts K1 into K2 with the help of GG, and K2 is essential for supporting bone mineralization.*
Why Supplement with CoQ10 and GG?
CoQ10 occurs naturally in certain foods (especially animal foods such as red meat, poultry, and seafood), but
the vast majority is produced inside the body. GG is also produced endogenously, which means inside the
body. This internal synthesis may not always be sufficient, particularly in individuals taking pharmaceutical
drugs that affect the pathway by which CoQ10 is produced. Synthesis of CoQ10 and GG declines naturally
during aging and the use of certain pharmaceutical drugs (particularly for treating high cholesterol and
osteoporosis) inhibit its synthesis, potentially resulting in a need for supplementation.
Recommended Use: Take one softgel per day with a meal, or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
Note: This formula is best absorbed with a meal.
