Key Product Details
FAQ
What is Thorne Ubiquinol 100 mg?
Thorne Ubiquinol 100 mg is a dietary supplement containing the active, reduced form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Unlike standard CoQ10 (ubiquinone), ubiquinol is already in the form the body uses directly, making it significantly more bioavailable.
What are the primary health benefits?
-
Cardiovascular Support: Helps maintain healthy heart muscle function and vascular health.
-
Cellular Energy Production: Plays a critical role in mitochondrial ATP production, supporting physical stamina and overall cellular energy.
-
Potent Antioxidant Protection: Inhibits lipid peroxidation and neutralizes free radicals to protect cells from oxidative stress.
How does Ubiquinol differ from standard CoQ10 (Ubiquinone)?
Standard CoQ10 exists as ubiquinone, which the body must enzymatically convert into ubiquinol before it can act as an antioxidant or participate in energy production. As humans age—or under conditions of oxidative stress—the body’s conversion efficiency drops. Ubiquinol provides the pre-converted form, bypassing this extra metabolic step.

Why choose Thorne’s Ubiquinol formulation?
Thorne uses high-grade Ubiquinol dissolved in a lipid-based softgel vector to enhance absorption. Their manufacturing process avoids artificial fillers, gluten, and unnecessary additives, following strict NSF and GMP quality controls.
What is the suggested usage?
Take 1 softgel one to two times daily, or as recommended by a healthcare professional.
Should it be taken with food?
Yes. Ubiquinol is a fat-soluble compound. Taking your softgel alongside a meal or snack containing healthy fats (such as avocado, nuts, olive oil, or eggs) significantly enhances its absorption.
How long does one bottle last?
One bottle contains 60 softgels. Depending on whether you take 1 or 2 softgels per day, a single bottle will provide a 30-day to 60-day supply.
Are there any common side effects?
Ubiquinol is generally well tolerated. Mild, infrequent effects can include temporary gastrointestinal discomfort, light abdominal discomfort, or mild nausea. Taking it with a meal typically mitigates these symptoms.
Does it interact with medications?
-
Blood Thinners (e.g., Warfarin): CoQ10/Ubiquinol has a chemical structure similar to Vitamin K and may decrease the blood-thinning efficiency of warfarin.
-
Statin Medications: Statins inhibit the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which reduces natural CoQ10 production in the body. Supplementation is often recommended alongside statin therapy, but always consult your physician before starting.
How should it be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use.
