What is ubiquinol?
UBIQUINOL is the converted (reduced), active form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is naturally produced by our body.
Ubiquinol is an essential nutrient for cellular energy production and antioxidant protection. In a healthy adult, 90% or more of the total CoQ10 in the body is in the ubiquinol form.
Body tissue that has high energy requirements and metabolic rates such as the heart and skeletal muscle contains relatively high concentration of ubiquinol.
What is the difference between CoQ10 and ubiquinol?
CoQ10 is sometimes referred to as ubiquinone. Ubiquinone and ubiquinol are both forms of CoQ10 and both are necessary to produce cellular energy. In order to generate cellular energy, the body must convert ubiquinone (inactive) into ubiquinol (active).
Without this conversion, the body’s energy production process cannot be completed and energy levels cannot be sustained. Thus, both are critical to sustaining your body’s natural energy.
Ubiquinol is simply the fully reduced state or the unoxidised form of CoQ10, which the human body can immediately and more easily use for energy. Ubiquinol, being in its reduced state, also provides antioxidant function, protecting cells from free radical damage.
Why Vitamode CoQ10 Ubiquinol?
Our body’s ability to produce CoQ10 and convert it into ubiquinol significantly depletes as we age. Without proper levels of this vital substance, the body produces less energy and lacks a strong defence against oxidative stress.
Ubiquinol levels have been shown to be suppressed in older individuals. Absorption of dietary CoQ10 is slow and very limited due to its hydrophobicity and large molecular weight.
Therefore, supplementation products are required for those whose CoQ10 levels are being compromised. Because ubiquinol is pre-converted, it is ready for immediate use by the body, making it suitable for those unable to efficiently reduce CoQ10 in the body.

How much Vitamode CoQ10 Ubiquinol should I take?
The recommended daily dose of ubiquinol varies based on each individual’s specific needs.
As a general guideline, start supplementing with 200mg per day for the first two to three weeks. After that, 100mg per day is a good amount to maintain optimal ubiquinol levels.
