Ubiquinone and ubiquinol are the two forms of CoQ10. They’re known as a redox pair, meaning they are easily converted back and forth in your cells depending on which form is needed.
Ubiquinone is the more stable and extensively researched form of CoQ10 and is also the form naturally made in your cells.
Although you may have seen claims that ubiquinol is better absorbed, this is not supported by scientific research. Research shows that when you take a ubiquinol supplement, it is actually converted to ubiquinone before being absorbed in your intestines. Once it is absorbed, it is converted back to ubiquinol in your lymph system.
CoQ10 absorption and bioavailability depends more on the supplement’s formulation than whether it is ubiquinone or ubiquinol. Because CoQ10 is a large, fat-soluble nutrient, it isn’t well absorbed, even when taken with food.
That’s why Theralogix uses ubiquinone with VESIsorb®, a patented emulsification technology that increases CoQ10 absorption by approximately 300-600%. This advanced formulation helps ensure that your body receives the CoQ10 it needs for optimal support.
