Research Finds Benefits for Ubiquinol and Mountain Spa Rehabilitation

Emerging from the global challenge of COVID-19, the pursuit of effective rehabilitation strategies has become a paramount concern. Recent research, spearheaded by Jarmila Kucharska at Comenius University in Bratislava, offers promising insights into the combined effects of mountain spa rehabilitation and supplementation with Ubiquinol.
The study focused on 36 patients suffering from post-COVID-19 syndrome, exploring whether a unique regimen of mountain spa rehabilitation coupled with Ubiquinol (2x 100 mg/day) could enhance recovery.

Over a period of 16-18 days, these patients experienced structured rehabilitation in the serene High Tatra Mountains, known for their conducive climatic conditions that benefit chronic pulmonary issues. This natural setting, combined with high-altitude conditions, provided a unique environment for recovery.
A striking outcome of the study was the significant improvement, with accelerated recovery, observed in the group supplemented with Ubiquinol. This group showed remarkable increases in total CoQ10 (ubiquinone + ubiquinol) concentrations in their blood and platelets—up to 232% in plasma. Such enhancements were linked to notable reductions in clinical symptoms like fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and respiratory difficulties.

Ubiquinol’s role as a potent antioxidant was evident in its capacity to improve antioxidant protection and reduce oxidative stress markers in patients, especially in the context of recovery from viral infections where cellular energy and antioxidant protection are compromised.

This research not only highlights the therapeutic potential of Ubiquinol in post-viral recovery scenarios but also positions it as a cornerstone in managing long-term health post-COVID-19. As we continue to navigate the aftermath of the pandemic, integrating such innovative approaches could be key to enhancing patient recovery and overall wellbeing.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Consult your healthcare professional to establish if Ubiquinol is suitable for your needs.
