QNEEDS Ubiquinol COQH-CF
QNeeds® contains ubiquinol, the reduced form of coenzyme Q10 (coQ10). CoQ10 is essential for energy metabolism, and also functions as a powerful antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules.
Many chronic conditions, especially those involving mitochondrial function, can increase the demand for CoQ10 in the body, leading to deficiency. CoQ10 supplementation is often recommended for a variety of different medical conditions, including functional (e.g. pain, fatigue), neurodevelopmental (e.g. autism, ADHD), and cardiac (e.g. hypercholesterolemia on statin drugs) conditions.
