About Ubiquinol

Ubiquinol is the active form of the powerful antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is ready for immediate use by the body.

Ubiquinol is responsible for energy production in each cell of our bodies and is vital for supporting optimal health and energy levels.

From around the age of 30 as we age naturally and as we are exposed to lifestyle influences including stress, pollution and toxicity, our bodies’ natural levels of Ubiquinol decline, as does our ability to convert CoQ10 to Ubiquinol. This affects our mitochondrial function responsible for energy production in the cells of our bodies and may affect our energy levels, cardiovascular health and male fertility.

A quality ingredient from Kaneka

As a nutrient in our body, Ubiquinol has been known for a long time due to its involvement in cellular energy production. However, it has been challenging to manufacture Ubiquinol as an ingredient on an industrial scale because it is easily oxidised outside of the body.

After more than ten years of dedicated research, development and testing, Kaneka Corporation, a Japan-based company, managed to devise a patented technique to preserve Ubiquinol outside of the body. In 2007 they became the only supplier of the world’s first stable and bio-identical Ubiquinol – Kaneka Ubiquinol™ – and remain the only supplemental Ubiquinol ingredient available today.

Kaneka is renowned for its unique and patented production processes and places great emphasis on the development of natural and scientifically-backed ingredients. It is one of the most trusted companies in the nutritional ingredient industry. Kaneka’s ongoing commitment to quality, safety and reliability is evident in all their products.
