Abstract in brief

Ubiquinol is more effective than ubiquinone at increasing CoQ10 levels in older men, particularly significantly boosting plasma ubiquinone and total CoQ10 after supplementation.
A double-blind randomized crossover trial showed that supplementing with ubiquinol notably raised plasma CoQ10 levels, whereas ubiquinone had minimal impact on CoQ10 status and other markers like antioxidant capacity and ATP in cells.
Responses varied among individuals, with some reacting more to ubiquinol and others to ubiquinone, and neither form significantly affected cellular CoQ10, antioxidant levels, or lipid peroxidation markers during the study.

@Code_of_Kai Ubiquinol can raise CoQ10 by 2x compared to ubiquinone. This could be either good or bad depending on your needs. https://t.co/vGQB6leWka
