Why should I be concerned about declining ubiquinol levels?
Declines in ubiquinol result in less cellular energy and diminished protection against oxidative stress, which produces free radicals and can damage the body’s cells, including proteins, lipids and DNA. Ubiquinol provides a strong first-stage defense against this cellular oxidative damage and needs to be replenished to maintain optimum health. An increasing number of scientific reports indicate that dramatic decreases in ubiquinone levels and increased oxidative stress are associated with the aging process and with many age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, diabetes, cancer, fatigue and metabolic syndrome, as well as a number of other conditions.
