It is vital for producing energy within cells. Although our bodies are able to produce this powerful antioxidant, it can be found in various foods and is also available as a health supplement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-style: inherit;\"\u003eCoenzyme Q10 is found in two forms:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eUbiquinol: The active antioxidant form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eUbiquinone: The oxidized form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eIn general, enzymes receive the necessary support from coenzymes in order to carry out their various biochemical functions. It is present in all cells of the body, and is vital contributor to generating energy within cells. Coenzyme Q10 exists in higher concentrations in organs that require the most energy such as the kidneys, muscles, liver, and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-style: var( --e-global-typography-83682a1-font-style ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-83682a1-font-weight );\"\u003eUbiquinol vs. Ubiquinone\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eIn our bodies, Coenzyme Q10 exists either in its oxidized form, ubiquinone, or in its reduced form, ubiquinol. Coenzyme Q10 shifts back and forth between its ubiquinone and its ubiquinol form in a continuous cycle inside the body depending on the body’s need. In the blood and lymph, Coenzyme Q10 primarily serves as an antioxidant. While in the mitochondria, it supports the energy metabolism by switching between the two forms back and forth many times per second. This is all part of Coenzyme Q10’s role in biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-style: inherit;\"\u003eWhen you take a Coenzyme Q10 supplement in the form of ubiquinol, it changes to ubiquinone and vice versa.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eWhen ubiquinone (the oxidized form) is used by the body, it transforms and becomes ubiquinol. Likewise, ubiquinol (the reduced form) becomes ubiquinone when it carries out its role in the body. So, when you take a Coenzyme Q10 supplement in the form of ubiquinol, it changes to ubiquinone and vice versa depending on the body’s need for either. This indicates that the one form, when encapsulated is by no means more superior to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eTo better understand how this works, we’ll look at Coenzyme Q10 and cellular-energy production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eEvery cell in the body has its own powerhouse, the mitochondria. Here, energy production occurs and this is where Coenzyme Q10 is found. In the process of energy production, electrons are exchanged between electron acceptors and donors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eCoenzyme Q10 acts as an electron acceptor or donor in the chain of reactions that lead to energy production. When oxidized Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) accepts an electron from another molecule in the chain, it becomes reduced (ubiquinol). When reduced Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) donates an electron, it becomes oxidized (ubiquinone). Maintaining this balance is how your body most benefits from CoenzymeQ10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains 1000 mg of Co-Enzyme Q10 in the form of ubiquinone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections for Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake one capsule daily, or as directed by your Health Professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 Capsules - 30 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eSuitable for Diabetics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003ePreservative Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eLactose Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eGluten Free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"\u003eNo Artificial Flavours added\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BIOLIFE NUTRITION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45974878322998,"sku":"6007813000245","price":169.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9136\/3126\/files\/CoQ10.30s.webp?v=1690365746","url":"https:\/\/onelife.co.za\/products\/biolife-nutrition-co-enzymeq10-100mg-30-capsules","provider":"One Life Health Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
