Description
Ubiquinol (also known as Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10 and Vitamin Q) is a 1, 4-benzoquinone, playing an important role in generating energy and improving vitality. It is a component of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria and participates in aerobic cellular respiration. Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements such as the heart and the liver have the highest CoQ10 concentrations.

Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is a kind of ubiquinone, appears as odorless, orange-yellow crystals or powders.
Coenzyme Q10 is an essential to
human life. It plays a role in the electron transport chain, one of the body's energy-producing cycles that converts food into
energy.
Conventional CoQ10(Ubiquinone) | Our CoQ10(Ubiquinol) |
This is the oxidized version of the nutrient. We get some of this nutrient from the food we eat, but most of our supply is made naturally inside our bodies. | This is the antioxidant form of CoQ10 and its role in creating cellular energy helps fuel your heart and other organs. |
1. Our bodies have to convert this form of CoQ10 into Ubiquinol before it can be used to create cellular energy. 2. The ability to convert Ubiquinone into Ubiquinol decreases as we age. 3. Unconverted, conventional CoQ10 can't contribute to cellular energy production. | 1. The preferred supplement form of CoQ10 because it's better absorbed by the body than conventional CoQ10. 2. Only known fat-soluble antioxidant made naturally in the body. 3. Predominant form of CoQ10 in a healthy young adult. 4. Up to 70% more bioavailable than conventional CoQ10. |
