A friend with PD for the past 7 years has switched to Ubiquinol. It appears that it's a more potent form of CoQ10. www.lef.org has some info (though it could just be a sales pitche -- thus this thread).

Why has QH not been launched in Japan, the home country of the manufacturer?
You cannot assume that any of the CoQ10 research applies to ubiquinol. Enhanced bioavailability does not necessarily mean enhanced bioactivity. They have to show what their supplement does in a clinical setting. What is the shelf life stability data for when the ubiquinol oxidizes to ubiquinone. Marketing shows 8x (Swanson), 62% (Integrative Therapy), 400% (Jarrow), 8x (Life Extension) increase absoption. What is the truth? There has been a lot of clinical research on CoQ10. I think most if not all of it has been on ubiquinone. You cannot assume that any of those results are the same for ubiquinol supplements. People use products because they work, or they don't. What does the evidence support? The clinical study was performed by the manufacturer not a third party. The results has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal, escaping criticism |

Recent study on Ubiquinol showed that in seriously ill patients, conventional ubiquinone CoQ10 was hardly detectable in the blood.

[QUOTE=aquario;139408]Anybody out there taking CoQ10 who has switched to Ubiquinol? Found any difference? What were/are the dosages
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original test 1200 mg daily found slower progression of Parkinson's........ not found to help symptoms. Q-Gels supposed to be three times more bio-available as regular coQ10 and now Ubiquinol claims to be eight times more bio-available than regular coQ10. Ubiquinol sells for $23.99 for 60 100 mg. Sometimes sale 15% off or free shipping ( 4.95 ). Each capsule Ubiquinol for $.40 equals up to 800 mg bioavailability. study in progress using larger dose than l200mg. Using Q-Gels cost $2 daily for l200 equivalent. Original regular coQ was as much as $200 mo l200mg daily. I trust the integrity of the vitamin seller; otherwise probably a thousand or more items in their catalog would be suspect. Search for a list of many benefits of coQ10 and different opinions. My neuro said okay if i didnt mind the expense ( cheaper now) and APDA in newsletter was favorable opinion DO I NOTICE DIFFERENCE regular vs ubiquinol? big difference in cost....little if any change in parkinsons so coQ10 may be slowing progression. note that statins deplete coQ10. one statin simvastatin is said to fend off PD. Amazing i got a year supply of simvastatin for only $10.95 at a local pharmacy. davos |
