Is this ubiquinol or ubiquinone?

Hi, I bought this end of last year and back for a new order when I saw your question and the answers provided. I agree with another reply to your question that it most likely will be ubiquinone if not answered ubiquinol, however the important info below, I Hope helps others wondering if in this case, if it even matters -I am always concerned about better versions, purer forms of all my vitamins and supplements for me or my cat Leo, -for instance Vitamin E -getting the natural form and not synthetic. With Co-Q 10 and your question, I did a search and found an info page from a human vit company who sells both forms (so its not self interest to sell one form over another) - It appears the mitrochondria convert both forms back and forth for balance so one form is not worse than another - the cells use both and change it to the other with an electron added or removed, (which is the difference between Ubiquinol and Ubiquinone) when needed and can easily convert from each form to the other as the mitrochondria needs for the cell. Please read the info fact sheet below to make up your own mind on the matter, but it appears with CO-Q 10 the diff forms may just be seller hype to sell a more expensive version - but truly that opinion is for each user to decide its merit - I am not stating that as fact for anyone else. We all need to make up our own mind but since I found this U vs U form issue may not be the same as lets say synthetic versus natural, one form getting better absorbed versus the other, I thought I should add this article with credit here so people can make up there own mind about its info. Hope this helps. Understanding CoQ10: Ubiquinone vs. UbiquinolBy Meghan Lyons MSVisit the vitamin and supplement aisle in any drug or grocery store, and there is most likely an entire space filled with CoQ10 products. Google “CoQ10” and nearly 7 million results appear. Read about nutrients for heart function support and CoQ10 is sure to be featured. Without a doubt, people are talking about CoQ10 in a number of different spaces. Have you joined the conversation?At Nature Made, we are always engaged with the conversations people are having about CoQ10, and have taken particular notice to one that is causing quite a bit of confusion: the ubiquinone vs. ubiquinol debate. Recently, some people have been describing ubiquinone—the form of CoQ10 that has been available for years—as inferior now that a new form, ubiquinol, has emerged. We’ve seen a lot of conflicting and misleading information on this debate and hope to shed a little light on the real story.A Quick Review of CoQ10Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound produced naturally by our bodies. Found in nearly every cell in the body, CoQ10 is concentrated in organs that require the most energy — such as the heart, liver, muscles and kidneys. CoQ10 is concentrated in these organs because it is essential to the process of producing cellular energy from the food you eat.†Ubiquinone vs. UbiquinolIn the body, CoQ10 exists either in its oxidized form, ubiquinone, or in its reduced form, ubiquinol. When oxidized CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is used by the body, it transforms and becomes ubiquinol. In the same way, reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) becomes ubiquinone when it carries out its role in the body.To better understand how this works, let’s take a look at CoQ10 and cellular energy production. CoQ10 is found inside the powerhouses of cells called the mitochondria, the site where energy production occurs. It acts as an electron acceptor or donor in the chain of reactions that lead to energy production. When oxidized CoQ10 (ubiquinone) accepts an electron from another molecule in the chain, it becomes reduced (ubiquinol) and when reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) donates an electron, it becomes oxidized (ubiquinone). Maintaining this state of equilibrium is how the body benefits from CoQ10.†CoQ10 SupplementsRegardless of what form of CoQ10 you take as a supplement, the body is able to convert the consumed form to the other form as needed. In other words, if you take a reduced CoQ10 supplement (ubiquinol), the body can convert the reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) to the oxidized CoQ10 (ubiquinone) and vice versa. This conversion takes place to maintain a state of equilibrium between reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) and oxidized CoQ10 (ubiquinone).The Bottom LineUnquestionably, both forms—ubiquinone and ubiquinol—are effective and essential to important pathways in the body, and in states of need, either form can be reduced or oxidized to form the other.Next time you purchase CoQ10 keep the following points in mind:• Both CoQ10 forms—ubiquinone and ubiquinol—are important, effective and do great things for your body†• The body is extremely intelligent and is capable of turning one form of CoQ10 into the other as needed• Feel great that you are choosing such an important supplement for your health†Read more at http://www.naturemade.com/resource-center/articles-and-videos/heart-health/understanding-coq10-ubiquinone-vs-ubiquinol#GIPIFBdmODrRaVRV.99

What are all ingredients

IngredientsMaltodextrin, Cellulose, Gelatin, Coenzyme Q10, Vegetable Stearate, Silicon Dioxide.

I know who distributes it, but where is it manufactured? i do not want to use anything for my dog that was made in china.

It says distributed in Vermont, but you'll have the check the website for manufacturing details. I don't blame you for asking about Chinese items.

I will ask this again since the reply from a previous seller made no sense and was obviously ill informed. Is this ubiquinol or ubiquinone?

I checked the entire bottle. It does not specify. I also ckd the web site and see nothing there either. I'm not sure if this is accurate, but if ubiquinol is only in liquid; this product is powder inside gelatin caps. I open & sprinkler on my 17+ yr old dogs food. Another option contact those at www.vetriscience.com 1800-882-9993. Hope THIS helps.

Mein 13 Jahre alter Hund bekommt täglich eine Kapsel auf sein Essen und ist sichtlich vitaler geworden. Er ist herzkrank und das Q10 unterstützt hervorragend.

Bought this Coq10 for a recently acquired fiv+ cat. Comes in capsule form to conveniently add and mix in with food. He eats it added to food so must be palatable. Pleased with this outcome.

These VetriScience CoQ10 Healthy Heart capsules have been very easy to use and convenient. The easy-open design is a big plus, especially if you need to mix the contents with food. I’ve had no issues opening the capsules, and my pet takes it without any problems when mixed in. I like that this supplement is specifically formulated to support heart health and uses Coenzyme Q10, a well-known ingredient for cardiovascular support. The quality feels reliable, and it’s reassuring to use a product from a brand known for veterinary supplements. Overall, this is a well-designed and practical heart health supplement. Easy to administer, good quality, and a great option for pets that need added cardiovascular support.

Alors là vraiment que du positif pour ce complément alimentaire!Je suis d'ailleurs vraiment déçu qu'il ne soit plus approvisionné depuis un petit moment! Très présent au États-Unis où il est utilisé pour nos compagnons à quatre pattes.Comme pour nous,très important à partir d'un certain âge le Q10 est un précieux allié pour le bien être de nos animaux. Protège les yeux et le coeur.Donné à ma chatte pour une hypertrophie cardiaque et un souffle au cœur,tout est rentré dans l'ordre en quelques mois plus de problème à son petit coeur,de même que pour un oeil où elle avait eu une uvéite,celà ne s'est plus jamais produit!Elle a vécu jusqu'à 18 ans avec plusieurs pathologies mais une qualité de vie exceptionnelle,et je sais que l'homéopathie de même que plusieurs compléments alimentaires et en particulier le Q10 y ont été pour beaucoup!Alors n'hésitez pas à en donner à vos animaux!

I use this product, for my older doggie. She has an aging heart, and needs a supplement, to nourish, and restore. She is doing well, which gives me, piece of mind. I enjoy my experience with Amazon, as it always, runs smoothly. LT ~
