The New Science Behind Avocado Oil
A Rich Source of CoQ10 and Health Benefits
Health nuts and fitness enthusiasts, take note! New research from Europe shows that avocado oil can be a significant source of the vitamin CoQ10.
The research highlights that Olivado cold-pressed, extra virgin avocado oils contain significant quantities of CoQ10, a much-desired vitamin-like substance known for its wide-ranging health benefits.
What is CoQ10?
CoQ10, also known as “ubiquinone,” plays an essential role in the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. It has been shown to have serious health benefits, which is why CoQ10 supplements are among the fastest-growing health products.
Recent Research on Avocado Oil
Studies conducted by Dr. I. Pravst at the Nutrition Institute show that Olivado avocado oils contain an impressive 123mg/L of CoQ10, while meat, long considered the food group with the highest concentration of this vital element, contains only 20-40mg/kg.
Extra virgin avocado oil is known for being high in monounsaturated fats, lower in saturated fats than olive oil, and is delicious in taste. However, not all avocado oils produce this significant level of CoQ10. Research has shown a wide variation in CoQ10 content, with some oils having as low as 20mg/kg and others, like Olivado’s, containing 123mg/kg.
Why Olivado's Avocado Oil Stands Out
According to Neil Albert, vice president of Olivado’s USA distribution center, the brand's proprietary process for extracting oil from avocados is responsible for preserving CoQ10 levels. Most avocado oils are mass-produced and chemically refined, which significantly reduces CoQ10 content.
Conclusion
After research on over 100 different vegetable oils, the Nutrition Institute of Slovenia and Pablo de Olavide University in Seville, Spain, confirmed that Olivado's cold-pressed extra virgin avocado oil offers the highest levels of CoQ10. Consider incorporating it into your diet for its numerous health benefits.
