There's simply no substitute for eating healthy unprocessed whole foods.
However, there are a few supplements I consider highly beneficial for nearly all adults.
One of these is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
Co Q10 has been available for decades, but now there is an amazing new form of Co
Q10 called ubiquinol.
Why is this so significant?
I believe one of the key elements in the aging process is free radical production. These
free radicals are oxygen atoms deficient in electrons that become highly reactive. This
in turn causes potential damage to your tissues and DNA.
If there was something you could do to limit the free radical production, then you could
affect the aging process.*
One nutrient that can help you do just that is Co Q10. The problem is your body
requires the reduced form of Co Q10 (ubiquinol) to help you limit free radical
production.
Now, if you're less than 25 years old, this is not an issue -- your body is capable of
converting Co Q10 from the oxidized to the reduced form. However, if you're older, your
body becomes more and more challenged to convert the oxidized Co Q10 to ubiquinol.
Another very important reason for using a Co Q10 supplement is to help boost your
body's cellular energy production.*
Co Q10 helps facilitate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy
"currency for all your cells.* But if you're over 25, you need the reduced form of Co
Q10, ubiquinol, to efficiently do this.
So even if you do your best to eat wholesome unprocessed foods, your body's
capability to produce Co Q10 and convert it to ubiquinol declines over time.*
So you need a smart way to help turn this process around...
Ubiquitous Ubiquinol... Everywhere in Your Life
Grandparents
Critical Co Q 10 levels decline as you age. So I believe this is a must-have supplement!
Co Q10 by itself is also known as ubiquinone. To benefit from the form of the nutrient
needed to produce cellular energy and help you reduce the typical signs of aging, your
body must convert the ubiquinone to ubiquinol.
Ubiquinol exists everywhere there is life... it's ubiquitous!
The challenge you face as you age is this -- your body levels of CoQ10 continue to
diminish.
In addition, your capability to convert Co Q10 to ubiquinol also declines. It becomes
more and more difficult for you to produce the ubiquinol you need due to:
Increased metabolic demand
Oxidative stress
Insufficient dietary Co Q10 intake
Deficiency of factors required for biosynthesis and ubiquinol conversion
Potential effects from illness and disease
Age-related changes in your genes
And any combination of these factors
