Special Precautions of Ubiquinol
Benefits and uses of Ubiquinol are
Ubiquinol is the antioxidant form of CoQ10 and is essential for mitochondrial synthesis of energy. It is the only known lipid-soluble antioxidant that is endogenously synthesized, protecting biological membranes against lipid peroxidation as well as regenerating other antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Published clinical and experimental research shows that ubiquinol affects cardiovascular health, neuronal metabolism, renal health, and genes related to lipid/lipoprotein metabolism and inflammation.

In foods, there are varying amounts of ubiquinol. An analysis of a range of foods found ubiquinol to be present in 66 out of 70 items and accounted for 46% of the total coenzyme Q10 intake. The following chart is a sample of the results.

|---|---|---|
| Beef (shoulder) | 5.36 | 25 |
| Beef (liver) | 40.1 | 0.4 |
| Pork (shoulder) | 25.4 | 19.6 |
| Pork (thigh) | 2.63 | 11.2 |
| Chicken (breast) | 13.8 | 3.24 |
| Mackerel | 0.52 | 10.1 |
| Tuna (canned) | 14.6 | 0.29 |
