Question 2

What are the sources of Ubiquinone?

Accepted Answer

Ubiquinone is the only fat-soluble antioxidant that our body can produce. It is present in all our body cells, and its production is controlled by the same pathway that controls cholesterol synthesis. Ubiquinone is present in many animal protein sources, vegetables, fruits and cereals.

Question 3

What causes Ubiquinone deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Two major contributing factors to Ubiquinone deficiency are age and the use of statins. As we get older, the ability to naturally produce Ubiquinone reduces. Statin drugs can inhibit the body's natural production of Ubiquinone during use. Statins block cholesterol synthesis, which is a key step for Ubiquinone biosynthesis, and therefore it has been linked to a reduction in Ubiquinone levels in the body.

Question 4

What are the symptoms of Ubiquinone deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms of Ubiquinone deficiency include physical fatigue and muscle weakness, even while undertaking relatively non-strenuous physical activities such as walking. Low Ubiquinone levels can also cause mental fatigue, with symptoms including difficulty in concentrating and memory lapses.

Question 5

What if I miss a dose?
