The Difference Between CoQ10 and Ubiquinol
Ubiquinol and Ubiquinone are both forms of CoQ10, and both are necessary to produce cellular energy.
Ubiquinone – The oxidised form of CoQ10 that has been taken as a supplement and studied for more than 50 years. Studies have proven its benefits for general health and wellness, particularly cardiovascular health.
Ubiquinol – The active, reduced form of CoQ10, is essential in the body’s natural production of cellular energy and provides powerful antioxidant support to cells.
Ubiquinol became available in supplement form in 2007 and is available in Australia and internationally.

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
