Antioxidant Protection Against Premature Aging

Ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 or ubiquinone), is found throughout our cells, tissues, and organs. It is required for 95% of cellular energy (ATP) production1 and essential for cellular function and antioxidant support, aiding physiological processes vital for healthy aging.

With age, our ubiquinol levels and antioxidant mechanisms naturally decline and our ability to convert the ubiquinone form of CoQ10 into ubiquinol diminishes. This, along with environmental and lifestyle factors, can elevate oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress — characterized by an imbalance between free radical molecules and protective antioxidants — can damage cell components, impairing mitochondrial and cellular function. The corresponding decline in cellular function and mitochondrial integrity is linked to premature aging, which can impact bodily organs and systems, leading to common age-related conditions.2

Supplementation with Kaneka Ubiquinol® promotes healthy aging by supporting cellular energy production and providing antioxidant protection. For those already using anti-aging supplements containing CoQ10, switching to Kaneka Ubiquinol® offers enhanced absorption and bioavailability.

Promoting Healthy Aging and
General Wellness

Through its antioxidant properties, ubiquinol helps maintain mitochondrial health and proper function — vital for healthy aging. Kaneka Ubiquinol® protects against premature aging associated with oxidative stress and has been shown in clinical trials to support:

  • Cardiovascular health6
  • Muscle health (in older adults)7
  • Physical functioning (in older adults)7

Supporting Health Within Active
Aging Lifestyles

Active aging, a strategy to enhance quality of life, supports the maintenance of mental and physical health through actively engaging in life. Ubiquinol plays an important role in active aging lifestyles by aiding overall wellness and offering protection against premature aging.
