Ubiquinol is a derivative of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) that is fully reduced and saturated with extra electrons to assist in bodily absorbance. Because humans can synthesize ubiquinol, it is not classed as a vitamin. CoQ10 is a coenzyme present in most cell bodies of animals and is located primarily in the mitochondria.
Purpose:
CoQ10 and ubiquinol are key components in the electron transport chain, facilitating production of ATP in redox reactions. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that your body produces naturally. Your cells use CoQ10 for growth and maintenance.

Side Effects / Adverse Events:
Side effects are possible, especially if the patient is allergic to the supplement ubiquinol.
Potential interactions:
Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription medications you may use, especially of: drugs for high blood pressure, “blood thinners” (e.g., warfarin), drugs for diabetes, drugs for high cholesterol (e.g., atorvastatin, lovastatin).
CoQ10 might make anti-coagulants (blood-thinning drugs), such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven), less effective. This could increase the risk of a blood clot.
