Description
The Vitamin Shoppe Ubiquinol CoQ-10 100 mg is a once-daily softgel that provides ubiquinol, the active form of coenzyme Q10. It is available in 30 and 60 softgel bottles and is a good fit for people who want a simple 100 mg ubiquinol supplement with clear directions.
What is ubiquinol?
Ubiquinol is the active form of coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ-10. The brand describes CoQ-10 as an essential component of energy production that also supports cardiovascular health and protects cells against free radical damage. Your ability to convert CoQ-10 into ubiquinol can decline with statin use and age.
According to The Vitamin Shoppe, ubiquinol is a more readily available, active form of CoQ-10 that provides improved bioavailability over standard CoQ-10 (ubiquinone) supplements.
Ubiquinol and statins
Many people searching for information on ubiquinol and statins want to understand how the two relate. The brand notes that statin medications may deplete CoQ-10 in the body, and states that supplementing with its CoQ-10 promotes CoQ-10 levels and may help prevent medication-induced depletion. If you take a statin or any other prescription medicine, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before adding a supplement, and do not change your medication yourself.
Ingredients
Each softgel provides ubiquinol (CoQ-10) at 100 mg. Other ingredients: medium chain triglycerides, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, yellow beeswax, soya lecithin, beta-carotene, carob extract, carmine lake and rosemary extract. It contains soya. Because it contains gelatin, beeswax and carmine, it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
How to use it

- Store in a cool, dry place
- Do not use if the outer seal is broken or missing
- Keep out of reach of children
