Can I take Xtend-Quinol if I have a diagnosed heart condition?

Our view is a resounding yes. But when you have any condition you should get your doctor's OK before commencing on any supplement regimen.

Can I take Xtend-Quinol if I have stents?

There is no evidence to suggest taking Xtend-Quinol would cause a problem for someone with stents. However, you should consult your doctor prior to starting Xtend-Quinol.

Is it safe to take GG with my statin?

This was the main factor in developing this product. It should not affect the ability of your statin to lower cholesterol. However, you should always consult your doctor prior, if you are taking any medications.

Is it safe to take with other prescription medications, such as blood thinners?

While there is no evidence to suggest adverse interactions with medications, you should consult your doctor prior to starting any new supplement, especially if you take blood thinners. We recommend you take your supplements 2-3 hours away from prescription medication.

Will Xtend-Quinol help with cholesterol?

Xtend-Quinol contains two ingredients, GG and ubiquinol.

GG will not help with your cholesterol as it is downstream in the biochemical (mevalonate) pathway.

Ubiquinol has a role to play in cholesterol management because it dwells in LDL particles. LDL is “bad” cholesterol, but it is oxidized LDL (oxLDL) that is particularly atherogenic (likely to cause plaques in the blood vessels). Ubiquinol’s presence in LDL particles ensures that progression to oxLDL is prevented. Beyond its antioxidant capabilities, vital role in cellular energy production, and advanced bioavailability, numerous research studies support ubiquinol supplementation for heart health. 

Can I take other Xtendlife supplements alongside Xtend-Quinol?

Yes, you can. All our products are formulated to work synergistically with each other. 

Can I take Xtend-Quinol if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

No, we do not recommend this. The only product we recommend during this time is our Omega 3/DHA fish oil, which has valuable properties to support both the health of the mother and baby. 
 
Fish oil is highly recommended by many medical professionals during pregnancy and breastfeeding to help support infant brain development, as well as systemic organ growth. It can also play a valuable role in supporting the post-natal mood and brain function of the mother. As the baby draws from the mother's precious stores of DHA, they can easily become depleted, therefore supporting levels with a supplement such as Omega 3/DHA fish oil is very wise.
