Coenzyme Q10 : New Information for Healthy Supplementation  

If you have read my last article on the healthy supplementation of CoQ10 you are already aware that it is an extremely effective antioxidant. It was also noted that CoQ10 is a fat soluble supplement and should be taken with a meal containing some fat. 

Most CoQ10 supplements contain the oxidized version of this supplement, Ubiquinone.  Research is currently showing that as the human body ages it cannot convert as much Ubiquinone to Ubiquinol, which is the form of CoQ10 that is readily available to the body. As you pass the age of 40 this inability to convert becomes more and more pronounced. Greater amounts of Ubiquinone must be taken to get the best results. 

There currently is a company in Japan that produces Ubiquinol,   Keneka, and it is available to supplement manufacturers for their CoQ10 products. As far as I know this is the only true Ubiquinol product out there so your supplement brand should  say Keneka QH  on the label.  

For the best benefits from CoQ10 supplementation you should be sure that you are getting a quality Ubiquinol product and remember that it should be taken with a meal containing some fat. The newest products on the market are providing CoQ10 in their fish oil supplement, this solves the dietary fat issue and greatly improves the bio availability of Ubiquinol.
