Nature’s Edge Q-Gel has a 3x Higher Absorbtion Rate. Good for those Over Age 30.
I’ve used Nature’s Edge products for the past year and have been impressed: good products, good price, and I feel good after using this for several months.<br /><br />Their version of coenzyme Q 10 is known as Q-Gel. This is ubiquione, also known as ubidecarenone. These are different names for the same substance: CoQ10.<br /><br />Co-Q10 is made naturally in the body. We also get it from some of the foods we eat. It’s an important element in the creation of cellular energy. Since your heart (and your kidneys, liver, brain, etc.) is a hard working organ requiring a lot of that cellular energy, you’ll find a lot of Co-Q10 in heart tissue.<br /><br />Age has a lot to do with the type of Co-Q10 supplement you should consider. There are two forms of Co-Q10: Ubiquinone (most popular version) and Ubiquinol. Ubiquinone is the standard, oxidized form of Co-Q10. Prior to age 30, your body can generally absorb and convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol without any problem. However, as we age, our body becomes less efficient at making this conversion.<br /><br />Since this is Ubiquione, it’s generally going to be a better option for those under the age of 30. The difference with Nature’s Edge is that their QGel has been studied to prove a 3x higher absorption rate. This is good news for those OVER 30 and want to use the product.<br /><br />Of course, as with any supplement, always check with your doctor for their recommendation and to make sure it won't conflict with any medications you might be on.
