Ubiquinone is the chemical name for the most common supplemental form of CoQ-10. The body routinely converts ubiquinone to ubiquinol, the reduced form of CoQ-10 that is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the “active” form. Both ubiquinone and ubiquinol are active and required for biochemical reactions within cells and play vital roles in energy production and heart health.* Some people cannot optimally convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol in their cell membranes for full antioxidant protection.*1 They might prefer to supplement with ubiquinol because it can be easily assimilated since it does not require conversion.
Who should consider taking CoQ-10 Supplements?
- Those looking for antioxidant and energy support*
- Those seeking to support heart and brain health*
- Those taking cholesterol-lowering statin medications**
- Those concerned with aging Vegetarians (CoQ-10 is naturally found in foods, predominantly in meat and fish) CoQ-10 plays a key role in energy production and contributes to the body’s total energy levels.*
