Kaneka Ubiquinol®
An Ally in Overall Wellness

Ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is found naturally throughout our bodies. It is essential for cellular function and antioxidant support, aiding physiological processes vital for overall health. With age, ubiquinol levels and antioxidant mechanisms decline, which can elevate oxidative stress, damaging healthy cells and mitochondria and leading to common age-related conditions.1,2

Ubiquinol is required for 95% of cellular energy (ATP) production.3

Kaneka Ubiquinol® is 2x better absorbed than conventional CoQ10.4

Supplementation with 100 mg – 200 mg Kaneka Ubiquinol® is shown to increase baseline ubiquinol levels in healthy younger adults by 5x-8x.5

Kaneka Ubiquinol

The World’s First and Only Patented Ubiquinol Ingredient

Kaneka Nutrients is the trusted manufacturer of Kaneka Ubiquinol®, a pure, yeast-fermented Ubiquinol ingredient that is bioidentical to naturally occurring ubiquinol. It has a well-established safety profile as demonstrated by extensive clinical trial data. Kaneka Ubiquinol® is manufactured under rigorous quality controls and safety standards and is the highest quality Ubiquinol ingredient on the market.

Kaneka Q30

Stabilized Kaneka Ubiquinol® Powder

Ubiquinol is prone to oxidation when exposed to air, requiring a barrier with low oxygen permeability for protection. To ensure its stability, Kaneka developed a proprietary encapsulation method utilizing fluid bed drying technology. The result is Kaneka Q30™, a 30% concentrated powder that retains all the benefits of Kaneka Ubiquinol® in an air-stable form. It’s suitable for capsules, stick packs, nutrition bars, powdered beverages, and various solid food types. Discover how our research-to-development process supports innovative formats.

Supporting Healthy Aging Processes

With age, the body’s ubiquinol levels and antioxidant mechanisms decline and the ability to convert CoQ10 into ubiquinol diminishes, which can lead to oxidative stress and compromised mitochondrial function. Through its antioxidant properties, ubiquinol helps maintain mitochondrial health and proper function — vital for healthy aging. Clinical research demonstrates the importance of older adults maintaining adequate serum ubiquinol levels, which correlates with healthy5,6:

Promoting Cardiovascular Health

Ubiquinol is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that is required for 95% of cellular energy production.1 Supplementation with Kaneka Ubiquinol® promotes heart health by aiding cellular energy production and providing antioxidant protection. Research demonstrates that Kaneka Ubiquinol®

  • Promotes vessel health6
  • Protects cells from oxidative stress9-11
  • Replenishes CoQ10 blood levels depleted by statin medicines12,13

Supporting Preconception Health

Supplementation with Kaneka Ubiquinol® promotes preconception health by supporting mitochondrial function and cellular energy production and protecting reproductive cells against oxidative stress. Ubiquinol provides strong antioxidant support to neutralize oxidative stress that can affect sperm and egg quality. Studies show Kaneka Ubiquinol® further promotes male preconception health, demonstrating:
