Life Extension was the first organization to introduce
the remarkable ubiquinol form of coenzyme Q10 that absorbed up to eight
times greater and slowed aging markers in middle age mice 40% better
than conventional CoQ10.1 We
are now pleased to announce the availability of a new delivery system
that provides even more ubiquinol CoQ10 to the bloodstream. This
patented absorption technology has been licensed exclusively to Life
Extension and, due to advances in production technology, it costs less
than the original ubiquinol.
Over the past five years, scientists have discovered that higher
doses of CoQ10 are needed to achieve optimal results. This originally
caused a dilemma with consumers, as they were faced with having to
swallow many expensive CoQ10 capsules to derive the desired benefits.
With the advent of stabilized ubiquinol, consumers could affordably
achieve the high blood levels of CoQ10 that scientific studies showed
provided optimal benefits.2
Life Extension is pleased to announce the discovery of an enhanced
ubiquinol delivery system that has been shown to double peak CoQ10 blood
levels in mice compared to the original ubiquinol formula. Equally
impressive is the ability of this enhanced ubiquinol formula to achieve
66% greater total amount of CoQ10 in blood over 24 hours than the
original formula.
Human and animal research document improved benefits when higher
amounts of CoQ10 are delivered over a more sustained period of time.
This new enhanced-absorbing ubiquinol may therefore provide greater
biological effects than any previous CoQ10 supplement.
More humans are supplementing with coenzyme Q10 than ever before. One
reason is the increased awareness that the "statin" drugs used to lower
LDL and cholesterol depletes the body of CoQ10. What most doctors don't
know, however, is that normal aging may result in a greater reduction in
CoQ10 than is caused by taking statin drugs. For example, while statin
drugs have been shown to reduce plasma CoQ10 by 40%,3
the aging process reduces CoQ10 levels in the heart muscle wall by 72%.4
What is particularly frightening is the thought of people taking statin
drugs who fail to supplement with CoQ10. The CoQ10 deficit caused by the
dual affects of aging5 and
statin drug use could result in severe depletion of cellular vitality. |
