Why Ubiquinol Matters
The heart is one of the most energy-intensive organs in the human body, relying heavily on mitochondria for its energy needs. As the active antioxidant form of CoQ10, Kaneka Ubiquinol® plays a crucial role in supporting heart health by aiding in ATP production and promoting a balanced oxidative environment.
Commitment to Scientific Excellence
“When brands formulate heart health products using Ubiquinol, they seek assurance that the underlying science is robust,” said Terese Mansell, the Vice President of Kaneka's Nutrients Division. “Our ongoing investment in research is testament to our dedication. It’s incredibly gratifying to see our efforts recognized by our peers.”
Innovation in Supplementation
Kaneka pioneered the stabilization of Ubiquinol for dietary supplements, leading the way for brands to create products focused on heart health, healthy aging, and mitochondrial function. The unique formulation of Kaneka Ubiquinol® is bioidentical to the ubiquinol produced naturally in the body and is free from synthetic cis-isomers. With more than 100 clinical studies backing its efficacy, Kaneka Ubiquinol® has become synonymous with quality and research in the sector.
