Benefits
- Increases plasma levels of CoQ10 significantly more per mg compared to ubiquinone
- Allows for higher peak plasma levels of CoQ10, especially when higher plasma CoQ10 are required
- Ubiquinol is a highly absorbable and bioavailable form of CoQ10
- Kaneka Q+ brand for ubiquinol is naturally produced via yeast
fermentation and is free of the impurities of synthetically processed CoQ10 - Genetically modified organism (GMO) free, allergen free, and Kosher certified
Feature Summary
The reduced form of CoQ10, ubiquinol, has emerged as a more effective therapy for increasing plasma levels of CoQ10 than most forms of ubiquinone, due to its increased solubility.14,15

Drug Interactions
Although existing evidence has not found an interaction, CoQ10 resembles vitamin K structurally,
potentially interfering with the anticoagulant warfarin. Close monitoring of the INR is recommended with CoQ10 introduction
in these patients. No other negative drug interactions are known for CoQ10, though a number of medications are thought
to interfere with CoQ10 synthesis or function in the body, including statin medications, tricyclic antidepressants and oral
hypoglycemic agents.16
