Ubiquinol & Ubiquinone: Two Forms of CoQ10

CoQ10 exists in two forms: ubiquinone, the oxidized form, and ubiquinol, the reduced, active antioxidant form. Unlike ubiquinone, Kaneka Ubiquinol® requires no conversion to act as an antioxidant.2,3

  • 95% of total CoQ10 in the blood of healthy adults is ubiquinol4,5
  • Kaneka Ubiquinol® is 3x better absorbed than a conventional CoQ10 (ubiquinone) supplement6,7

Frequently Asked Questions

Ubiquinol is a form of CoQ10. CoQ10 exists in two forms: ubiquinone, the oxidized form, and ubiquinol, the reduced, active antioxidant form. Ubiquinol and ubiquinone both participate in cellular energy production. Ubiquinol also acts as an antioxidant. Stabilized to maintain its active antioxidant form, Kaneka Ubiquinol® requires no conversion to act as an antioxidant, unlike a conventional CoQ10 (ubiquinone) supplement.2,3

Kaneka Nutrients produces Kaneka Ubiquinol® through a proprietary yeast fermentation process at its US-based facility. Kaneka Ubiquinol® is made in the USA, and Kaneka Nutrients applies quality systems from production through final specification to support consistency for brand partners.

Kaneka Q30™ is an air-stable, 30% concentrated Kaneka Ubiquinol® powder. Kaneka Q30™ supports formulation across capsules, stick packs, nutrition bars, and powdered beverages.

Ubiquinol readily oxidizes to ubiquinone when exposed to air. When Kaneka Ubiquinol® is solubilized in lipids and then encapsulated into softgels, it is then stable in the reduced, active form and capable of mediating its antioxidant functions.

Kaneka Ubiquinol® is self-affirmed generally recognized as safe (GRAS), produced under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), and compliant with the USP monograph. It is made from fermented non-GMO yeast, and is free from allergens, Kosher certified, and available in vegan and halal-friendly tablet formulations.

Kaneka Ubiquinol® is the subject of 100+ human clinical studies, backed by 30+ years of Ubiquinol research and 80+ Ubiquinol patents. Research on 
Kaneka Ubiquinol® spans mitochondrial health, cardiovascular health, healthy aging, reproductive wellness, sports nutrition, and women’s health.

Kaneka Nutrients supports supplement brands, formulators, and product development teams from formulation through launch. Brand partners receive science-backed documentation, ingredient specifications, and technical guidance for products made with Kaneka Ubiquinol®.
