Kaneka Ubiquinol for Perimenopause

Hormonal changes during perimenopause can affect mood, sleep, and energy. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) helps cells produce energy. One form of CoQ10, ubiquinol, also acts as an antioxidant, helping protect cells from oxidative stress.

What It Is

Kaneka Ubiquinol is a stabilized, fermentation-derived form of ubiquinol chemically identical to the ubiquinol found in the human body. CoQ10 also exists as ubiquinone, which the body can convert to ubiquinol. The body's ubiquinol levels decrease with age. Research suggests that supplemental ubiquinol may be significantly more bioavailable than conventional CoQ10. 

How It Helps

  • Supports normal cellular energy production
  • Helps protect cells from oxidative stress
  • Supports general well-being during midlife

Research Highlights

  • In a 2024 consumer-use study conducted by French research institute Expansion Consulteam for Kaneka, 200 women ages 45 to 55 took 200 milligrams (mg) of Kaneka Ubiquinol daily for two months. After 30 days, 80% reported improved mood or feeling more emotionally stable. At two months, 80% reported less stress, irritability, and sensitivity; 70% reported better sleep quality, less muscle pain, and improved well-being.
