CoQ10 facilitates the transformation of fats and sugars into energy inside the mitochondria.

Having the Best Life Boils Down to Having Enough Energy to Do The Things You Want To Do!

 Don’t Let Low CoQ10 Drain Your Drive!  

CoQ10 is essential for making ATP — the energy your cells run on. CoQ10 levels decline with age, stress, and statin use. When CoQ10 drops, so can your ability to stay energized, focused, and resilient.

Smart people prioritize CoQ10 — because low levels can quietly limit how alive you feel.

If we compared our cellular mitochondria to a car engine, CoQ10 would be the fuel injector (or carburetor and spark blugs for older cars) that increases the efficiency of fuel burning.

Since nothing is more basic to life than burning of fuel to make energy it follows that when CoQ10 levels diminish, basic cell metabolic functions are impaired, and the ability to live a productive life must necessarily diminish.

It is interesting that by the time someone reaches 80 years of age, 80% of the CoQ10 molecules that were in a person’s cells at age 25 are gone. By age 80, the pancreas which is responsible for digestive enzymes has lost 83% of its youthful CoQ10 levels. With less enzymes, no wonder we cannot digest our foods well as we used to. So, for people with poor digestion, CoQ10 supplementation is a must!

If you're over the age of 30, one of your first tactics for improving energy and preserving future health and longevity is supplementing with CoQ10.

Looking at the above charts/graphs... No wonder we notice a difference in how we feel as we age.

  • No wonder CoQ10 has drawn interest from supplement formulators around the globe—cellular energy production isn’t exactly what it used to be.
  • No wonder so many people notice changes in how their body performs when they support their mitochondria.*
  • No wonder skin, of all things, has a way of showing us how time affects inner biology.*
  • No wonder the pancreas—an unsung hero—seems to quietly demand more attention over time.*
  • No wonder those pivotal years between 56 and 76 often tell a tale about what we’ve supported… and what we haven’t.*

Does It Matter Which Kind of CoQ10 We Take?

Some manufacturers promote the idea that reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) is significantly better than the standard oxidized form (ubiquinone). This claim appears more tied to marketing trends than to clear, consistent science. In practice, both forms are absorbed and utilized by the body, and conversion between them occurs naturally depending on cellular needs. What seems to matter more is **how** CoQ10 is taken—**with healthy fats and absorption-enhancing compounds** like Bioperine (black pepper extract), bioavailability may improve significantly.

However, What CoQ10 Is Taken With Does Matter

The absorption of CoQ10 may be influenced by what it’s consumed with. Nutrients such as **vitamin E**, **Bioperine® (black pepper extract)**, and **healthy dietary fats** have been shown to help enhance its uptake. Having one or more of these companions present in the stomach at the same time may support better delivery of CoQ10 into the bloodstream and ultimately into the cells. That’s one reason CoQ10 Plus E includes these cofactors in its formulation—because formulating for absorption can make all the difference.

 

This graph shows the amount of CoQ10 going to the blood after a single oral intake of 90 mg CoQ10 and 5 mg of Bioperine.

And the following graph shows the absolute change in serum CoQ10 after 14 days of supplementation with CoQ10 (90 mg daily) and Bioperine (5mg daily).

Finally, this graph shows the serum levels after a 21 day trial in terms of sustained CoQ10 increase.

Summary of CoQ10 Benefits:

  1. Supports mitochondrial function to help reduce oxidative stress and enhance cellular energy production—especially important for cardiovascular performance and heart health.*
  2. Emerging research suggests CoQ10 may support healthy aging by enhancing mitochondrial efficiency in the brain, lungs, and metabolic systems, including those related to blood sugar control.*
  3. Optimal mitochondrial health is essential for whole-body wellness, as mitochondria fuel nearly every cell in the body.*
  4. CoQ10 supplementation helps maintain coenzyme Q10 levels in a youthful range, which may support sustained vitality, endurance, and overall metabolic balance.*

CoQ10 - Frequently Asked Questions

How Much CoQ10 Should a Person Take?

  • In general, the older someone is—or the more support their health requires—the higher their daily CoQ10 intake may need to be. For a healthy adult in their 40s, 100 to 200 mg per day is often considered sufficient for general wellness.*
  • By the time someone reaches their 60s, 300 to 400 mg daily is commonly used to support energy and cardiovascular function.*
  • Some athletes and bodybuilders choose to supplement with higher amounts—up to 1,200 mg daily—to support energy output and recovery during intense physical training.*
  • Doses as high as 3,000 mg per day have been used in research settings without adverse effects, but such levels should be approached with guidance from a healthcare provider.*
  • Because CoQ10 can be costly, many people choose an amount that balances benefits with budget. See our optimal dosing by age table.

If you’ve tried or researched CoQ10, you may be wondering: What’s the difference between ubiquinol and ubiquinone CoQ10? Is one better than the other? Read on to understand ubiquinol vs. ubiquinone.

The difference between ubiquinol and ubiquinone

Both ubiquinol and ubiquinone are forms of CoQ10 (co-enzyme Q10), an antioxidant and mitochondrial enzyme (chemical reaction enabler) often used to support increased energy, heart health, fertility, and overall wellness. Enzymes enable biological function and antioxidants are crucial for protecting the body’s cells against free radicals and oxidative stress, which can lead to chronic diseases. CoQ10 is both!

From a chemistry standpoint, the primary difference between ubiquinol and ubiquinone is that ubiquinol is the reduced form of CoQ10, whereas ubiquinone is the oxidized form. That means that ubiquinone has more electrons than ubiquinol. Inside the body, they change from one form to another as a part of normal function.

CoQ10 is produced naturally in the body, as well as comes from the diet. It helps to generate energy in all cells; the highest levels of CoQ10 are found in organs with high rates of metabolism such as the heart, kidney, spleen, and liver. In the body, CoQ10 molecules actually convert back and forth from the oxidized form to the reduced form and back again over and over.

Is ubiquinol better than ubiquinone?

Some researchers have hypothesized that ubiquinol is more “bio-available”. Bio-availability is a term that refers to the ability of a substance to be absorbed and used by the body. But, recent study data doesn't bear this hypothesis out in reality. A 2020 study found that there is no statistically significant difference in bio-availability between ubiquinol and ubiquinone. When consumed as ubiquinone, CoQ10 still appears in the blood almost exclusively as ubiquinol, indicating that the body is capable of easily converting the co-enzyme into its active form.

Benefits of ubiquinone or ubiquinol CoQ10

One notable thing about ubiquinone CoQ10 is its history there have been thousands of clinical trials conducted with CoQ10 (ubiquinone) — and very few with ubiquinol. (This is not to imply that ubiquinol would be less effective — it's just more expensive and therefore used less in studies.)

Ubiquinone appears to be more stable when compared to ubiquinol, and is less expensive to manufacture.

The benefits of taking ubiquinone CoQ10 include:

Using ubiquinone CoQ10 for fertility

As mentioned above, CoQ10 is an antioxidant, a compound that protects the human body’s cells against free radicals and oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress has been linked to male infertility, and is found in 30–80% of infertility cases. A man’s sperm quality often decreases as he ages; CoQ10 levels also decline with age, making high-energy functions like sperm development less efficient and more difficult. (CoQ10 levels also dip in women, affecting female fertility as well.)

As early as 1997, researchers have studied the correlation between CoQ10 and sperm health. Research has indicated that ubquinone CoQ10 supplementation can enhance fertility, possibly improving sperm concentration, motility (ability to swim), and morphology (size and shape of sperm) when taken as part of a healthy lifestyle.
