Discover how Ubiquinol works in your body
Ubiquinol is a key nutrient required to maintain mitochondrial energy production within our cells. Our muscles, heart and reproductive cells have high levels of mitochondria to support their energy needs.
Ubiquinol also helps reduce free radical damage to our body’s cells and mitochondria.
Watch to learn more how Ubiquinol works in your body.
Ubiquinol provides every cell in the body with energy so that it can function. It is an essential nutrient for good health.

Ubiquinol vs Coenzyme Q10
Better absorption
Ubiquinol is the active form of CoQ10 and is easily absorbed by the body.9
Antioxidant activity
CoQ10 must be converted to Ubiquinol in the body to exert its antioxidant effects.
Easier for the body
to use as we age
As we age, our bodies find it harder to maintain Ubiquinol levels. Supplementation helps maintain levels to reduce free radical damage to our cells.
Overall health support
Ubiquinol, the reduced form of CoQ10, supports overall health and vitality.
Heart Health Support
Readily usable Ubiquinol helps support normal, healthy cholesterol and cardiovascular health.
Healthy Ageing
From our 20s Ubiquinol levels may be more difficult to maintain.7 Ubiquinol acts as an antioxidant to help reduce cellular damage.8
