Thorne Ubiquinol

CoQ10 does its job in two forms, and which one you're taking matters more as you get older. Ubiquinone is the form your body has to convert before it can use it as an antioxidant. Ubiquinol is already converted.

Thorne built this softgel around 100mg of Kaneka Ubiquinol, the reduced, ready-to-use form, so there's no extra step between taking it and putting it to work in your cells.

Antioxidant support without the extra step – Ubiquinol goes to work right away, protecting cells from oxidative stress tied to hard training and normal aging.

Built for heart and vascular health – CoQ10 concentrates in tissues with high energy demand, and your heart tops that list. This form supports normal circulatory function and helps protect LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage.

Small softgel, clean ingredient list – Beyond the Kaneka Ubiquinol, you're getting MCT oil, sunflower lecithin, and beeswax to help it absorb. No unnecessary filler.

Your body makes both forms and shuttles between them constantly, using ubiquinone to help generate cellular energy and ubiquinol to soak up oxidative stress as an antioxidant. Younger, healthy bodies convert between the two forms without much trouble. That efficiency drops with age, which is part of why CoQ10 supplementation gets recommended more often for older training partners than younger ones. Feeding your body ubiquinol directly skips the conversion bottleneck entirely.

How to Use Thorne Ubiquinol

Take one-two softgels daily with a meal that has some fat in it. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, so pairing it with food helps it actually get where it's going instead of passing through. 

This softgel does contain bovine gelatin, so it's not a fit if you're vegan or vegetarian.

Stack it into your daily routine the same way you would a multivitamin, and let it work in the background while you train.
