CoQ10 finally comes of age—with Swanson Ubiquinol! You know all about the benefits of the vitamin-like nutrient CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, but did you know that our body has to break this nutrient down to create a useable molecule called ubiquinol? In fact, over 90% of the CoQ10 stored in the body is in the form of ubiquinol. Kaneka Nutrients, the world's leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical-quality, bio-identical CoQ10, recognized this, and after a decade of research and development, they created the first stabilized, bio-identical supplemental form of Ubiquinol. Produced from natural CoQ10 through a biological fermentation process, Kaneka's Ubiquinol achieves higher elevations of circulating CoQ10 in the bloodstream with just a fraction of the dose required when using a regular CoQ10 supplement. This is especially beneficial for individuals over 50 years of age and those who have substantially lower CoQ10 levels.

FAQs

Q: Where does the Ubiquinol come from?
A: It is manufactured using the yeast fermentation method for bio-identical CoQ10.

Q: Is Ubiquinol water soluble?
A: No, ubiquinol is still fat soluble, but it is more easily absorbed than Ubiquinone. It is still desirable to take ubiquinol with a meal since the fat in the food serves as a carrier. If you have a great deal of difficulty digesting fat, consider taking Quinogel with a hydrosoluble base.

Q: What color are Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol (base material without opaquing agents)?
A: Ubiquinone is yellow; Ubiquinol is white.

Q: What equivalencies between Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol have been established?
A: The research has not been done establishing equivalencies between amounts of Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol.
