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 Muscle Wellness: The heart has one of the highest CoQ10 concentrations in the body, reflecting its central role in cardiac energy metabolism.
  • Energy & Vitality Support: Supports energy levels and stamina, particularly in older adults and those where CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age.
  • Neurological Wellness: Subject of research interest in the context of neurological wellness.
  • 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 considered by:

  • Adults over 40
  • Those taking statin medications
  • Individuals with cardiovascular wellness goals
  • 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.

Areas of Traditional & Research Interest

  • Cardiovascular wellness — the heart muscle has one of the highest CoQ10 concentrations in the body, reflecting its central role in cardiac energy metabolism
  • Statin users — statins are known to deplete CoQ10; supplementation is commonly used to support CoQ10 levels in those taking this class of medication
  • Neurological wellness — subject of emerging research interest
  • Reproductive wellness — CoQ10 supports mitochondrial function in reproductive cells
  • Energy & cellular resilience — supports mitochondrial ATP production across all high-demand tissues

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