Max Absorption QH-absorb 100 mg

I’ve been using Jarrow Formulas for years, and this Ubiquinol is one of their best products. Since I started taking the 200 mg dose, I’ve noticed a real difference in my energy levels, especially in the afternoon.

My physician recommended I take CoQ10 and my husband's did as well. So, after we each purchased our own products at our local health food store, I decided that I should do more research to find a high quality, consistent and yet affordable way for us both to take CoQ10 every day. I still really do not know how Ubiquinol factors into the formula but am very reassured that we are getting the highest potency and value on the market from this Jarrow product. We share the 120 size so it lasts us up to 2 months. We are extremely happy with this source and pricing. I believe it has really helped control my periodontal problems! Recently, my husband's heart doctor confirmed this is a supplement that we need as we age. We have each been using CoQ10 from Jarrow for almost two years. The following is an exact quote from WebMD...."Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules." Anyway, until the science comes in, we both figure it can not hurt.

I had to write a review of this with five stars to counter a highly rated 2 star review from RWM with over 600 helpful votes. "I rated Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb two stars because it contains soy, GMOs, and ascorbyl palmitate." Drives me nuts reading supposedly expert reviews that contain a lot of information that has nothing to do with the product. True enough, if you want a supplement that doesn't have soy, is specifically non-GMO and doesn't contain ascorbyl palmitate, there are plenty out there that don't contain these ingredients so you can look for those. The fact that these are clearly listed doesn't make the product worse or merit a lower rating, however. I'm allergic to soy and this product contains soy lecithin. My doctor has told me that it's not a major deal for me to avoid soy based lecithin because so much of the soy protein is removed during processing that there's almost none left to trigger my allergy. Soy based lecithin is in almost everything, from cooking sprays to make up to all kinds of foods, so it's pretty difficult to avoid it in the first place. I should point out also that soy based lecithin is a popular supplement for a lot of different reasons and if this were sold in a store you'd likely find a lecithin supplement with the exact same ingredient not far from this bottle. It doesn't bother me at all that this is in this product, but it would be nice if they listed how much. You have to decide for yourself if non GMO is important to you. If you've decided to eliminate genetically modified organisms (the GMO part of non GMO) from your diet, I applaud you. But quite frankly I couldn't care less if this supplement comes from genetic modifications and there's data that swings both ways on whether or not non GMO is important. Quite frankly I'd rather know that this was certified organic rather than non GMO because there's tons of non GMO foods with pesticides, hexane and other pollutants because they aren't certified organic. Finally ascorbyl palmitate; another healthy supplement that would be nice if they would list how much is in this bottle. Ascorbyl palmitate is the fat soluble version of Vitamin C, very often seen as a Vitamin C Ester supplement. Why anyone would down rate a product for containing vitamin C I don't know, but ok. You're probably used to seeing vitamin C listed as ascorbic acid, which is the water soluble version. Ascorbic acid can be passed quickly out of the system through urination without being fully absorbed. Ascorbyl palmitate is generally considered better because it is absorbed at the cellular level and then converted to ascorbic acid. The ester is more expensive than the acid and generally harder to find but its still out there. So don't believe the supposed expertise level of reviewers, and quite frankly don't believe me either. Take five minutes to Google soy based lecithin, non GMO versus organic, and ascorbyl palmitate before you take it for granted that these ingredients are bad. I think you'll be surprised at what you find. My only issue with this particular product is that it would be nice to know how much of each ingredient is included.

Great, my granny uses it

I have used the Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb, 100 mg, Ubiquinol daily for multiple years and have been happy with the results. Unfortunately, the price has nearly doubled in the past few months. This caused me to look at other brands. I am happy to report that there are other top brands of Ubiquinol at less than half the price of the Jarrow brand.

I had been taking another brand of Ubiquinol for 10 years. I got food poisoning in 2019 which lasted 2 months and had to stop taking Ubiquinol. I didn't resume taking Ubiquinol because I didn't think it was necessary and I started having strong rapid heart beats at night and couldn't sleep. This went on for months and I didn't connect them to the absence of Ubiquinol. I reported this to my cardiologist who ran every test in the book and I wore several heart monitors but they couldn't find any reason for these pounding heart beats. I had resumed Ubiquinol a couple of days before the tests but the tests came up negative. Only one rapid heart beat on the graph showed up but then nothing and I wore one monitor for weeks. It's only Now I know, it was the Ubiquinol reaching the desired level in my system to stop the rapid heart beats. A few days before I went to the doctor, I bought Jarrow Formulas Ubiquinol QH-Absorb, High Absorption/Enhanced Stability at Amazon. So, I had taken a couple of them before I wore the lst heart monitor and that is why there was only 1 irregular heart beat on the graph. Every other test showed normal heart beats. I haven't seen my cardiologist since Covid and he probably won't believe that all it took was taking Ubiquinol to stop these rapid heart beats. To prove it, I accidently ran out 6 months later and while waiting for a bottle to come from Amazon, the rapid heart beats returned and once I started re-taking it, no more rapid heart beats. That proved to me, that those rapid heart beats are the absence of Ubiquinol.

I'm 47 and work in the health care field and have been taking 4 simultaneous bp medicines for resistant hypertension for over 15 years. A little over a year ago, I developed tinnitus which I presumed to be a side effect of one or more of the medicines I was taking, and have been through an extensive workup to find out whether I have secondary hypertension and/or whether my drug regimen could be simplified. While researching tinnitus treatment, I came across an article that linked treating tinnitus in those with low CoQ10 levels with possible causes of low CoQ10 including medications like beta blockers and statins, as well as aging and other causes. I've been on beta blockers for over 15 years. A couple weeks after starting Ubiquinol, I noticed my blood pressure was so much better (even with nighttime blood pressure spikes) that I was able to discontinue my calcium channel blocker. I also noticed that I was able to do my daily swimming workouts for significantly longer distances without muscle aches (currently, swimming 1 mile nonstop). A month later, I was able (or rather needed to) stop my beta blocker also because my pulse dropped into the high 40's/min and my bp fell to the 90/60 range. Please note that 6 months ago, I found that eating watermelon (contains a high concentration of the amino acid L-citrulline which, when metabolized, produces nitric oxide) also helped my bp and I have been eating that every day since. However, I had a profound bp drop when adding Ubiquinol. I do highly recommend discussing with your health care professional if you consider taking CoQ10/Ubiquinol and only decrease or stop taking your meds under his or her direction. In addition he/she may wish to check your CoQ10 blood level before starting the supplement.

I went from having no sleep problems to insomnia & from being regular to constipated. I bought these because people have been saying for years how good CoQ 10 is. Right away on the first night I couldn’t sleep but I thought maybe I needed to adjust to it. But after a week of not sleeping, at 3 in the morning I began to read all the one star reviews. I saw in them that there is MSG, soy & GMO’s. I took no more. After stopping it I could sleep with no problem & I was back to being regular. Another odd thing happened....not sure if it was the first or second night after taking this stuff but sometime during the night my knee swelled & in the morning it felt like my knee had a “tight band” around it, accompanied by great pain. I could hardly walk. This improved a lot after stopping the Ubiquinol but during the night I still get pain that wakes me up. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this? I certainly can’t recommend this & am very thankful for all the honest reviews. This experience has scared me off from buying any other Jarrow products.

Very disappointing I order the large size one 120 soft gel and payed for it wht I got is the 60 soft gel one they made me doubting even the quality of the product I don’t think they r worth even one star if their deal is so fake

Product is really good ..
