Ubiquinol provides every cell in the body with energy so that it can function. As we age and are exposed to lifestyle stresses, our bodies’ natural levels of Ubiquinol decline as does our ability to convert CoQ10 to Ubiquinol. This may affect our energy levels.
To consume 100 mg of Ubiquinol a day you’d have to eat: 3.5 kg of beef, 120 cans of sardines or 60 avocados daily! Or you can simply try Kaneka Ubiquinol™, with over 20 years of research behind it, it’s the only quality Ubiquinol on the market naturally produced by yeast fermentation.
