Where to Buy
About This Product
Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb delivers 200 mg of ubiquinol — the active, reduced form of CoQ10 — per softgel using a proprietary enhanced absorption technology. Ubiquinol is significantly more bioavailable than standard ubiquinone (oxidized CoQ10), especially for individuals over 40 whose bodies become less efficient at converting ubiquinone to the active form. The proliposome delivery system increases absorption by up to 3.4 times compared to standard CoQ10 powders. Jarrow Formulas is a science-based supplement company that has been producing quality supplements since 1977, and each product undergoes rigorous quality testing.
Why This Is Great for Thyroid Patients
CoQ10 is essential for mitochondrial energy production, and hypothyroid patients often have depleted CoQ10 levels due to reduced metabolic activity. Low CoQ10 contributes to the crushing fatigue that thyroid medication doesn't fully resolve. Research shows CoQ10 supplementation can improve cellular energy production and reduce the oxidative stress that damages the thyroid gland in Hashimoto's. The ubiquinol form is preferred for thyroid patients because hypothyroidism impairs the enzymatic conversion of ubiquinone to ubiquinol. For patients on statins (which deplete CoQ10) or those over 40, supplementation becomes even more important.
