By the way, if you saw this supportive CoQ10 result and wanted to start supplementing it, make sure you pick the right form.

Conversion efficiency declines with age, so the more consistently bioavailable form is the reduced one—ubiquinol—rather than the oxidized ubiquinone.

Added CoQ10 to my supplement stack a few weeks ago

Felt like it was irritating my throat

Had a convo with AI about it, realized I was taking ubiquinone

Switched to ubiquinol (more bioavailable version)

Now I have no issues

Ubiquinone requires conversion in the body

Ubiquinol is the active form

Ubiquinone requires conversion in the body. Ubiquinol is the active form your cells actually use. For some people the conversion step creates the problem (MTHFR for me)
