Ubiquinol - Momentous - 30 softgels

Coenzyme Q10 in its active form

Ubiquinol is the biologically active form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a molecule found in all cells and playing a role in mitochondria. Within the respiratory chain, ubiquinol transfers electrons between enzyme complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane. This process supports the formation of a proton gradient necessary for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as a general energy carrier within cells and is used in a variety of biological processes.

Antioxidant and synergistic functions

Besides its role in the energy chain, ubiquinol can react with unstable molecules. Because ubiquinol is fat-soluble, it is found in membranes and can contribute to the stability of lipid structures. It also collaborates with other substances with similar properties, such as vitamin E, by being involved in the regeneration of oxidized forms. In this way, ubiquinol is part of a broader network of compounds that together support cellular balance.

What sets Kaneka Ubiquinol® apart

Kaneka Ubiquinol® is a specific form of ubiquinol developed to be stable and highly bioavailable. It is produced through a controlled fermentation process, which contributes to the purity and consistency of the final product. Because it is readily available in a reduced form, it can be used in the body's biochemical processes without further conversion. These characteristics distinguish it from more common ubiquinone variants.

Historical background

Research on coenzyme Q10 began in the 1950s, when researchers first isolated the molecule from mitochondrial membranes. In 1957, American biochemist Frederick L. Crane and his team published the discovery of this compound, which played a central role in the cellular respiratory chain. Shortly thereafter, its chemical structure was elucidated, leading to the name ubiquinone, derived from the Latin ubiquitous (ubiquitous), because it occurs in virtually all organisms. In the 1960s and 1970s, it became clear that it exists in both an oxidized form (ubiquinone) and a reduced form (ubiquinol), and that these forms are constantly being converted into each other. The realization that ubiquinol is the biologically active form represented a major step in biochemical research. Since then, ubiquinol has been extensively studied in relation to mitochondrial energy processes, membrane structure, and redox balance, leading to a deeper understanding of the role of coenzyme Q10 in the cell.
