Why 100mg of CoQ10?

How CoQ10 works

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenous lipid-soluble antioxidant and a critical component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (complexes I, II, and III). In its reduced ubiquinol form, it accepts electrons and transfers them along the chain, driving the proton gradient required for ATP synthesis.

Ubiquinol is the dominant form in plasma and tissues. Ubiquinone (the oxidised form used in most cheaper products) must be converted to ubiquinol before it's functional - a conversion step that becomes less efficient with age. Kaneka QH is the gold-standard pharmaceutical grade, produced via fermentation.

Key benefits

• Essential for mitochondrial ATP production
• 8× superior absorption vs ubiquinone (oxidised form)
• Ubiquinol is the reduced, active form of CoQ10. Kaneka QH-grade
• Powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant protecting cell membranes
• Component of the mitochondrial electron-transport chain
