Ubiquinol 100 mg by NOW Foods

Are you looking for ubiquinol in softgel form? This formula from NOW Foods provides 100 mg of ubiquinol per softgel, made with Kaneka Ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is the reduced form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). One bottle contains 120 softgels, a four-month supply when taken one per day.

What ubiquinol is

Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short, is a fat-soluble substance found in almost every body cell. The body also produces some of it itself, and due to its widespread presence, it is sometimes referred to as a vitamin-like substance. CoQ10 exists in two forms that can convert into each other: ubiquinone, the oxidized form, and ubiquinol, the reduced form. Both are found in supplements. This product contains ubiquinol, the form some people consciously choose over ubiquinone. Ubiquinol is the form present as reduced CoQ10 in the body and is therefore preferred by some users. Which form one chooses is mainly a matter of personal preference for form and formulation; both ultimately deliver CoQ10 to the body. In food, CoQ10 is naturally found primarily in organ meats, fatty fish, and in smaller amounts in nuts and vegetable oils, but the amounts obtained from these sources are limited.

Kaneka Ubiquinol as a raw material

The softgels contain Kaneka Ubiquinol, a well-known branded raw material often chosen for its consistent quality and clear specifications. Kaneka is one of the most prominent producers of this raw material and is used in many ubiquinol supplements. The use of a recognizable branded raw material makes the origin of the main ingredient transparent. Each softgel contains 100 mg of ubiquinol, a clear, fixed amount clearly stated on the label. Because it revolves around one main ingredient, the formula remains straightforward, and you know exactly what you are getting. Ubiquinol is often offered in softgels with oil precisely because the substance is fat-soluble and can be processed in an oil base. A softgel also seals the oil well, which is appropriate for a substance sensitive to air and light.

Fat-soluble softgel with MCT oil

Because ubiquinol is fat-soluble, it is combined here with MCT oil as a carrier. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a light, neutral oil that serves as a fat base here. The formula is concise: ubiquinol as the main ingredient, MCT oil, and the softgel components. The softgel contains gelatin and beeswax, making this product unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans. This, along with other information, is clearly stated on the label and further down this page.

Who this is for

This ubiquinol is intended for those who consciously choose the reduced CoQ10 form, in a fat-soluble softgel with a short ingredient list. One bottle contains 120 softgels. Because the softgel contains gelatin and beeswax, it is not a product for those who eat plant-based, but it is a compact, easy-to-swallow form that you combine with a fat-containing meal. For those specifically looking for the ubiquinol form of CoQ10, this is a straightforward choice with a recognizable raw material. In short: a clear ubiquinol with a known branded raw material, from a brand known for clear labels and controlled production.
