Discover how Ubiquinol works in your body
Ubiquinol is directly associated with over 95 per cent of the body’s cellular energy production – the energy your heart, lungs and other organs need to function at optimal levels.
In supplement form, Ubiquinol also helps protect the body’s cells from oxidative stress, which can cause damage to proteins, lipids and DNA.
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 protection
CoQ10 must be converted to Ubiquinol in the body to exert its antioxidant effects.7
Easier for the body
to use as we age
As we age our body finds it harder to convert CoQ10 to Ubiquinol10 which may reduce essential antioxidant protection.
More direct benefits
Ubiquinol, the reduced form of CoQ10, provides virtually all of the health benefits associated with CoQ10.6
Improved heart health
Poor heart health makes it harder for the heart to convert CoQ10 to Ubiquinol. Taking readily usable Ubiquinol supports normal, healthy cardiovascular health.
Healthy Ageing benefits
After the age of 30 our body finds it harder to convert CoQ10 to Ubiquinol,7 which is the form that provides antioxidant protection against ageing.8
