Episode notes
Who Should Take Ubiquinol And Doses
- Do consider ubiquinol supplementation for athletes, stressed people, and anyone seeking more energy; Ross Walker recommends 100–150 mg daily.
- Give heart-failure patients 300 mg and always add magnesium orotate/aspartate with statin users to support CoQ10 production.
Support Skin With Ubiquinol And Vitamin D
- Protect skin health with ubiquinol for mitochondrial support and antioxidant action against UV damage.
- Also ensure adequate vitamin D (Ross suggests ~2,000 IU daily) to support skin and systemic health.
Ubiquinol For Brain Fog And Long COVID
- For long COVID, chronic fatigue or brain fog, try 300 mg ubiquinol for a few months then reduce to 150 mg maintenance.
- Combine with high-dose probiotics and anti-inflammatories like curcumin/boswellia for recovery support.
