Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb Ubiquinol 100 mg Softgels

Overview

Jarrow QH-Absorb delivers 100mg of ubiquinol, the reduced and active form of CoQ10, in a gluten free softgel. Each bottle holds 120 softgels, a four month supply at one per day, aimed at mitochondrial energy and cardiovascular support.

Ubiquinol is the form of coenzyme Q10 the body already uses at the cellular level, distinct from the more common ubiquinone form found in cheaper CoQ10 products. Jarrow markets this distinction as an absorption advantage, though how much difference it makes depends on the individual. It is a fat soluble nutrient, so it is generally taken alongside a meal that contains some fat.

• 100mg ubiquinol per softgel
• 120 softgels, roughly a four month supply
• Gluten free, unflavored formula
• Targets mitochondrial energy and cardiovascular support

Who it's for

Suited to adults who want a CoQ10 supplement in its active form, including people who have looked into ubiquinol specifically after reading about statin use and CoQ10 depletion. Not the product to reach for if you just want the cheapest CoQ10 on the shelf, since ubiquinol typically costs more than standard ubiquinone.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Each softgel supplies 100mg of ubiquinol, so one per day covers the full 120 count bottle across four months. Being fat soluble, it is best taken with a meal rather than on an empty stomach. The gluten free formulation keeps the ingredient list narrow, with no flavoring since the softgel is unflavored.
