An Antioxidant with Wide-Ranging Activity
 
Ubiquinol, the active form of CoQ10, is a fat-soluble antioxidant essential to cellular function. It is involved with the conversion of carbohydrates to fats.
 
After age 40, CoQ10 levels in the body start to decrease and so does the body’s ability to restore it. Because the compound is involved in cellular energy production and reduces oxidative stress, it is suitable for healthy aging applications.
 
As supported by clinical studies over multiple decades, Ubiquinol supplementation has been shown to support cognitive function, slow measures of skin aging, support cardiovascular health, and support healthy LDL cholesterol levels.
 
Kaneka Ubiquinol is bio-identical to the ubiquinol which is produced naturally by mitochondria, and is manufactured through a pharmaceutical-grade patented bio-fermentation process from non-GMO years. It has an efficacious dosage at 100 mg per day and is suitable for a variety of delivery forms, including plant-based dosage formats.
 
Visitors will be able to sample functional food applications, including beauty-from-within gummies, easy-to-swallow supplements for healthy aging, and snack bars for sports nutrition.
