FAQs

Ubidecarenone is the active component in Oxiquinol Capsule 10's. It is also known as Coenzyme Q10. Ubiquinone is likely beneficial in treating Coenzyme Q-10 deficiency or alleviating the symptoms of mitochondrial diseases (conditions that impact energy production in the body's cells). It has antioxidant properties and prevents tissue damage, aids in the fight against oxidative stress, slows the effects of ageing, protects cognitive health, improves metabolic functions, and treats male infertility-iOAT (idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia), female infertility, migraine, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
Ubidecarenone is the only fat-soluble antioxidant that our body can produce. Ubidecarenone is present in all the cells of our body, and its production is controlled by the same pathway that controls cholesterol synthesis. Ubidecarenone is present in many animal protein sources, vegetables, fruits and cereals. Animal hearts and livers represent the richest sources.
Two major contributing factors to a Ubidecarenone deficiency are age and the use of statins: As we get older, our ability to naturally produce Ubidecarenone reduces. Statin drugs can inhibit the body's natural production of Ubidecarenone during use. Statins are drugs widely used to prevent and treat some heart diseases. Statins block cholesterol synthesis, which is a key step for Ubidecarenone biosynthesis, and therefore it has been linked to a reduction in Ubidecarenone levels in the body.
Whilst everyone is different, people who have a deficiency in Ubidecarenone levels often experience physical fatigue and muscle weakness, even while undertaking relatively non-strenuous physical activities such as walking. Low Ubidecarenone levels can also cause mental fatigue, with symptoms including difficulty concentrating and memory lapses.
Since our bodies can make Ubidecarenone, most don't need to top up the levels. However, as the levels decline with age, with the use of cholesterol-blocking drugs (like statins) or some diseases, some people might find Ubidecarenone supplementation beneficial.
Though it treats fertility problems in men and women, this medication should be used under the physician's supervision.

Taking Oxiquinol Capsule 10's with statins may lower the statin side effects. It also helps reduce the cholesterol levels. However, Oxiquinol Capsule 10's should be taken with statins only if advised by the doctor.
Oxiquinol Capsule 10's helps lower blood pressure, aids cardiovascular function and promotes heart health. Therefore, Oxiquinol Capsule 10's can be taken with high blood pressure medication if advised by the doctor.
