What is Ubiquinone (CoQ10)?

Ubiquinone is the active, fat-soluble form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) — a naturally occurring compound found in virtually every cell of the human body. It plays two indispensable roles: as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, driving ATP (energy) synthesis, and as a powerful free radical scavenger, protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Organs with the highest energy demands — the heart, liver, and kidneys — contain the greatest concentrations of ubiquinone, reflecting just how essential it is to sustained cellular function.

Our CoQ10 is gluten free, GMO free, and soy free.

Key Benefits

  • Mitochondrial Energy Production: Ubiquinone is essential to the electron transport chain — the process by which mitochondria convert food into ATP, the primary energy currency of every cell in your body.
  • Powerful Antioxidant: Neutralises free radicals and reduces oxidative stress, protecting cell membranes, DNA, and proteins from damage.
  • Heart Health: The heart muscle has one of the highest CoQ10 concentrations in the body. Research suggests CoQ10 supports efficient cardiac function and may reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in individuals with heart conditions.
  • Reduces Fatigue: Supports energy levels and stamina, particularly in older adults and those with chronic conditions where CoQ10 levels naturally decline.
  • Migraine Relief: Some studies suggest CoQ10 may reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
  • Cellular Resilience: By reducing oxidative stress, CoQ10 supports overall cellular health and longevity.

How to Take

Take 1 capsule daily with a fat-containing meal — CoQ10 is fat-soluble, meaning it is best absorbed alongside dietary fats.

Tip: Adding black pepper to your meal can further enhance absorption. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, has been shown to improve the bioavailability of fat-soluble nutrients including CoQ10.

Why CoQ10 Levels Matter

The body produces CoQ10 naturally, but levels decline with age and can be further depleted by certain medications (particularly statins), chronic illness, and high oxidative stress. Supplementation is particularly beneficial for:

  • Adults over 40
  • Those taking statin medications
  • Individuals with cardiovascular conditions
  • Anyone experiencing persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Those with high oxidative stress loads

The Mitochondrial Connection

What sets CoQ10 apart from other antioxidants is its unique role in energy metabolism. While most antioxidants simply neutralise free radicals, CoQ10 is actively embedded in the mitochondrial membrane, where it shuttles electrons between protein complexes to drive ATP production. Without adequate CoQ10, this process slows — and so does everything that depends on it: muscle contraction, cognitive function, immune response, and cellular repair.

Traditional & Medical Uses

  • Heart failure & cardiovascular disease — may improve heart function and reduce mortality risk
  • Statin-induced myopathy — statins deplete CoQ10; supplementation may help restore levels
  • Migraine prevention — supported by clinical research
  • Neurodegenerative conditions — emerging research in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
  • Fertility support — CoQ10 supports mitochondrial function in reproductive cells

Always consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before commencing supplementation, particularly if you are taking medications or managing a health condition.
