CoQ10 supplementation is useful as an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of heart failureThe Mayo Clinic defines heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure and/or chronic heart failure, as the failure of the heart muscle to pump blood to the body adequately.

Lab Studies of Ubiquinol Conversion to Ubiquinone
On q10facts.com in November 2021, we reported the results of lab studies done at SIBR Research. Thirteen over-the-counter ubiquinol supplements available for purchase in the US were tested three times:
1. Upon release from the capsule
2. In a 2.2 pH solution that simulated gastric juices
3. In an 8.2 pH solution that simulated small intestinal fluids

The lab studies showed that fully 76% of the ubiquinol from the capsules was oxidized to ubiquinoneUbiquinone, the oxidized form of Coenzyme Q10, expressed as Q10 or CoQ10, is absolutely essential for the mitochondrial ATP energy production process.
