Next-generation wellness supplement

Healthy living is trending. Between lifestyle bloggers, boot camps and green juices, it seems people everywhere – young and old, male and female – are determined to get the most from their body. But sometimes, a little extra help is required to maintain energy levels and counter the effects of stress on the body.

Kaneka Nutrients from Japan has introduced a cutting-edge wellness supplement. By optimising the well-known supplement CoQ10, Kaneka has developed Ubiquinol to help boost energy, increase heart power and assist in anti ageing.

What is CoQ10?

CoQ10 is a label commonly seen on pharmacy shelves, with promises to boost energy and support the heart and brain – but what exactly is it?

It stands for Coenzyme Q10, which is a substance found naturally in every cell of the body. The enzyme helps generate energy for cell growth and also functions as an antioxidant, helping mop up damaging free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

CoQ10 in supplement form is not a new thing – it has decades of research backing it, and there are several different types of the enzyme.

Ubiquinol (as used in the latest Kaneka product) is a reduced form of CoQ10 that is more readily absorbed into the body – affording superior results, faster. It is the purest, or most active, form of CoQ10 and Kaneka Ubiquinol is the world’s first and only Ubiquinol product available as a nutritional supplement.

‘The heart needs that steady supply of energy to support every other organ in the body so it’s essential tat the type of CQ10 you take is easily absorbed and ready for action,’ explains Stephen Eddey, Principal of Health Schools Australia. ‘Studies show that Ubiqinol has superior bioavailability to ordinary CoQ10. In fact, Ubiquinol is three to eight times more absorbable.’

What’s it good for?

Anti-ageing

As we age, the natural levels of Ubquinol in our body decrease, causing a loss of energy and stamina. Recent studies have shown that Ubiquinol is one of the most powerful antioxidants available. It works to combat damaging free radicals and protect the body from oxidative stress.

When taken in supplement form, Ubiquinol helps generate cellular energy and refuel the body’s systems. This helps accelerate repair and regeneration, and enhances overall energy and wellbeing.

Heart power

Ubiquinol is touted to increase the strength of the heart and its ability to pump blood by up to 17 per cent. It is believed to be especially beneficial for hear attack patients, and people who suffer from heart valve problems.

Exercise and energy

Because it helps boost the body’s energy production processes, Ubiquinol is designed to increase energy, heighten stamina and optimise general wellness in most people.
