Ubiquinol is the active and bioavailable form of coenzyme Q10 (coQ10), while other forms of coQ10, such as ubidecarenone, need to be converted to ubiquinol prior to utilisation by the body. Ubiquinol is naturally present in the body, with around 95% of plasma coQ10 in the form of ubiquinol. Ageing, fatigue, physical exercise, illness, certain medications or the impaired ability to convert other forms of coQ10 into ubiquinol can all affect healthy ubiquinol levels.
