Question 1

is this the synthetic or natural form? I'm reading of a "cis" process and "trans" process & to avoid "cis"...

Accepted Answer

This is the natural all-trans form produced by fermentation, not the cis form produced by chemical synthesis.

Question 2

Any plans to protect the ubiquinol from oxidation into the ubiquinone form? Alpha lipoic acid is added in one Kaneka product for this reason.

Accepted Answer

Ubiquinol is always protected from oxidation. This is verified by the ubiquinol supplier, Kaneka, to approve companies’ formulations as delivering a stable unoxidized form in a special delivery system that protects contents from oxidation while the enhanced solubility of that matrix also enhances bioavailability. We do stability testing to confirm the robustness of our product as formulated and packaged to properly resist oxidation. ALA is more likely to work in the body than protect the capsule’s contents, and is not necessary in a suitably formulated product.

Question 3

Is this unoxidized ubiquinol?

Accepted Answer

Ubiquinol is always unoxidized; oxidized material is called ubiquinone.

Question 4

A recent review says it has palm kernel oil in it, but RWM's review said it does not--which is correct?

Accepted Answer

hi, this info comes directly from manufacturer:Ubiquinol is the reduced and active free radical quencher form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is found in all cells of the body, with especially high concentrations in the heart, and is essential to mitochondrial energy production and functions as a powerful, fat soluble, free radical scavenger. These properties make Ubiquinol an ideal supplement for the support of energy production and free radical protection in the heart, vascular structures, brain and neurons. Ubiquinol has been shown to be highly bioavailable and the addition of MCT Oil (medium chain triglycerides) to this product naturally improves its solubility and enhances intestinal absorption, thereby creating a product with superior biological value.Other Ingredients:MCT Oil (medium chain triglycerides), Softgel Capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water, carob) and Beeswax.MCT Oil from coconut/palm kernel oil.Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish or shellfish ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.We hope this helps.RegardsThe Essential Supplements Team
