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.

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 un-oxidized form of CoQ10, which the human body can immediately and more easily use for energy. Ubiquinol in its readily available state also provides greater antioxidant levels protecting cells from free radical damage.

Why Vitamode CoQ10 Ubiquinol?
Our body’s ability to produce CoQ10 and convert it into Ubiquinol significantly decreases as we age. Without proper levels of these vital substances, the body produces less energy and lacks a strong defense against oxidative stress. Ubiquinol levels have been shown to be suppressed in older individuals and those with cardiovascular, neurological, liver and diabetes related conditions. Because Ubiquinol is pre-converted, it is ready for immediate use by the body, making it ideal 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 200-300 mg per day for the first 2–3 weeks. After that, 100 mg per day is a good amount to maintain an optimal Ubiquinol levels.
