How Ubiquinol Promotes Cellular Energy and Supports Healthy Aging

Ubiquinol Safeguards Cellular Energy Processes

Ubiquinol has many benefits, including promoting the production of energy within your cells, also called “cellular energy.” Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form of CoQ10 and a naturally occurring nutrient your body produces on its own. It’s found in all cellular systems and in almost every cell, organ, and tissue in the body. Here’s how it works and why it matters more as you age.

Quick Answer: Ubiquinol supports cellular energy by helping the mitochondria produce ATP, the energy source your cells use for growth, repair, and function. As an antioxidant, ubiquinol also helps neutralize free radicals and protect against cellular damage, which supports healthy aging.

Let’s break this down further. The body naturally makes free radicals that can damage cells and tissues if they aren’t neutralized by antioxidants. One of the places that this occurs most frequently is in our mitochondria, as free radicals are a natural byproduct of cellular energy production. The body also absorbs free radicals from the air, water, and even our food. Ubiquinol helps neutralize free radicals before they can damage cellular components like cell walls and DNA.

What Is Cellular Energy?

Cellular energy is the energy the cells produce to do their everyday work. Most of it is made in the mitochondria as ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

This is not the same energy that helps you feel awake or alert. This is the power the body and cells rely on to support whole-body health. Below are just a few examples of systems that rely on cellular energy processes:

• heart health and cardiovascular function
• organ function
• cell maintenance and repair
• recovery after strenuous workouts
• reproductive health

How Ubiquinol Promotes Healthy Aging

Of all the body’s organs, the heart requires the most energy. This means the heart requires a large number of mitochondria to produce the energy it needs. Because the levels of ubiquinol in the body decline as the body ages, taking a high-quality Kaneka Ubiquinol® supplement as you age can promote cardiovascular health. Ubiquinol also supports the health of other organs – including the brain, liver, and kidneys – by protecting tissues and cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Is CoQ10 the Same as Ubiquinol?

Many people have heard about CoQ10, but many don’t know that there are two forms – conventional CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, and the antioxidant form, known as ubiquinol. Ubiquinone can be turned into ubiquinol, but it takes energy and specific enzymes to perform this conversion. While the body of a healthy young person produces all the ubiquinone it needs and can easily convert it into ubiquinol, as the body ages, it becomes less efficient at this conversion process, resulting in less of the antioxidant (ubiquinol) form. Taking a high-quality daily ubiquinol supplement can increase the levels of ubiquinol in your system so that it can work as an antioxidant without the need for conversion. This can help your body in the creation of cellular energy, maintain cellular components, and support healthy aging.

Look for the Kaneka Quality Seal on the supplement label and “Ubiquinol” listed as the main ingredient in the Supplement Facts panel to ensure you are getting the highest quality Ubiquinol supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cellular energy the same as feeling energized?

No. Cellular energy helps keep cells functioning properly, which is different from the quick lift of caffeine. Ubiquinol is not a stimulant. It supports the mitochondrial function the cells already rely on.

Why do ubiquinol levels decline with age?

As the body ages, it becomes less efficient at converting conventional CoQ10 (ubiquinone) into ubiquinol. This can increase the number of free radicals in the body, which can contribute to aging. Kaneka Ubiquinol® neutralizes free radicals and promotes healthy aging over time.

The Bottom Line

Kaneka Ubiquinol® promotes cellular energy processes and neutralizes the free radicals that are a byproduct of that process, supporting healthy aging, heart health, and organ function. Look for the Kaneka Quality Seal and “Ubiquinol” as the main ingredient when choosing a supplement to start your healthy aging journey.
