Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb 100 mg Max Absorption – CoQ10 Ubiquinol – Up to 120 Servings (Softgels) – Supports Mitochondrial Health, Cellular Energy Production & Healthy Cardiovascular Function

Description

Jarrow Formulas QH-absorb features Ubiquinol, the active
antioxidant form of Co-Q10, as its primary ingredient. Each softgel of Jarrow
Formulas QH-absorb provides 100 mg of ubiquinol per serving. Co-Q10 is found
in energy-rich tissues like the heart and helps promote mitochondrial health,
cellular energy production, and healthy cardiovascular function. Ubiquinol,
the active antioxidant form of Co-Q10, has been shown to be better absorbed.
Jarrow Formulas QH-absorb, featuring Ubiquinol, may increase Co-Q10 levels by
222% (100 mg per day) and by 777% (300 mg per day) over baseline. QH-absorb
utilizes Ubiquinol, the active form of Co-Q10, which is better absorbed by the
body. Adults take 1 softgel of Jarrow Formulas QH-absorb 1-3 times a day with
a meal, or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional. At Jarrow

molecules that possess a quinone active center and an unsaturated fatty tail.
Ubiquinones are so named because they are widely distributed (i.e. ubiquitous)
in nature and throughout the human body. Structurally they are very similar to
the menaquinones, like vitamin K2. The quinone group is like a courier for
protons and electrons, which is the critical property that allows ubiquinones
to act as antioxidants and as important intermediates in energy generation.
The fatty tail is composed of isoprenoid subunits, which are five carbon
building blocks that help all living things biosynthesize critical components
like immune modulators, essential oils and hormones. The number of isoprenoid
units in the fatty tail is often denoted in the name of specific ubiquinones.
For instance, ubiquinone-10 is made from ten isoprenoid units. Ubiquinone-10
(aka CoQ10, coenzyme Q10, Q) is more commonly referred to as just
“ubiquinone.” This is because it is the most prevalent ubiquinone in almost
all mammals, including humans.Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb, 100mg, 120 SoftgelsAt

Utilizes the Q-absorb natural, proliposomal delivery system for enhanced
absorption. View larger. Concern about CoQ10 levels is especially important
due to concern that cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) work by inhibiting an
enzyme that is also responsible for CoQ10-ubiquinol biosynthesis. As a result,
anyone taking statins may have reduced levels of CoQ10-ubiquinol.What is
Ubiquinol? Ubiquinone and ubiquinol (aka ubiquinol-10, CoQ10-H2, QH, “reduced”
CoQ10) are intimately related, as their names suggest. Inside the body, Q
(ubiquinone) can only achieve its important functions in energy production ,
cardiovascular health and antioxidant protection with the help of ubiquinol
(QH). In fact, all of the benefits that have been attributed to CoQ10
necessitate QH involvement. The two do their work by shuttling electrons and
protons back-and-forth, cyclically transforming from Q to QH and back again.
In energy production, CoQ10 facilitates electron transfer within mitochondrial
membranes to produce ATP, the body’s energy currency. For antioxidant
protection, QH is the “active antioxidant” form of CoQ10. This means that Q
that has not been converted to QH is inactive as an antioxidant. Perhaps this
explains why circa 80-95 percent of total CoQ10 exists as QH in the blood and
in healthy tissues that require its antioxidant function.Is Taking QH Better
Than Taking Q? CoQ10 is critically obtained from the diet, but it appears that
absorption of Q may entail conversion to QH. This conversion occurs as early
as in the enterocytes, the absorptive cells in the intestine, and may
facilitate the absorption process. Also under normal conditions there are
enzymes that help regenerate QH from Q, in the body. Unfortunately, aging and
illness can lead to both a reduced ability to regenerate QH because of
decreased enzyme activity and a decreased ability to absorb Q itself, possibly
for the same reason. After about age 45, total Q levels and QH levels tend to
decline in various critical tissues. Some physicians have even started to use
blood and tissue ratios of QH to Q as a biomarker for age- and health-related
oxidative stress. So it may not come as a surprise that taking QH can provide
benefits that surpass those obtained from taking standard Q. But where’s the
evidence?QH-absorb Clinical Research Eleven young, healthy adults ingested 100
mg of QH-absorb with food three times daily (100 mg, t.i.d.) for fourteen
days. Blood levels of total CoQ10, oxidized CoQ10 (Q) and reduced CoQ10 (QH)
were measured at baseline and after fourteen days. This regimen of QH-absorb
consumption resulted in a 777 percent mean increase of total CoQ10 levels
compared to baseline and a 100 percent increase in plasma QH levels, the
“active antioxidant” form of CoQ10. Two conclusions can be drawn from these
study results. First, it appears that even young, healthy individuals can
achieve benefits from taking ubiquinol (reduced CoQ10) from QH-absorb that
surpass taking Q alone. Previously, it was presumed that only older
individuals would benefit from taking QH-absorb as it is known that starting
about the age of 40, QH levels begin to decrease in the body. Second, the 777
percent increase of total CoQ10 levels measured after taking QH-absorb is more
than double the levels achieved by even the best Q supplements. This suggests
QH-absorb is at least twice as efficient in raising blood CoQ10
levels.Ubiquinol (QH) is Safe Scientists have understood the value of QH for
decades. It has just taken that long to figure out a way to stabilize QH so it
can be formulated into a nutritional supplement product. Toxicity studies have
shown little concern with taking QH directly, even at high doses. Plasma QH
levels appear to plateau after two to four weeks of daily ingestion and then
return near to baseline two weeks after daily ingestion is discontinued. It
also appears that supplementation with QH does not reduce CoQ10 biosynthesis
in the body. Jarrow Formulas QH-absorb is made with ubiquinol (QH) the more
bioavailable, active-antioxidant form of CoQ10. It utilizes the Q-absorb
natural, proliposomal delivery system for enhanced absorption beyond that of
QH alone.About Jarrow Formulas Jarrow Formulas’ complete line of over 350
