Nutraceutical Spotlight: Ubiquinol

Ubiquinol, also known as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and geranylgeraniol (GG) support mitochondrial and cellular health. GG complements the actions of ubiquinol by operating as an upstream metabolite that helps stimulate the production of CoQ10 naturally by the body.

Guidance during COVID-19

In my practice, I prescribe botanicals, nutraceuticals and supplements. However, due to the nature of the SARS cov-2 virus, for now, hold off on supplementing with vitamins A and D beyond 1000 IU’s and with the propolis bee spray and royal jelly. These have a modulatory effect by their nature in human biochemistry – meaning they can up-regulate or down-regulate a function based on what is needed. The effect of the virus on these vitamins is they can actually turn inflammation on to a level the body cannot manage effectively. You may continue to eat foods that have these vitamins in them.
