Mechanism of Action

Electron carrier in mitochondrial complexes I, II, and III — essential for ATP synthesis. Potent lipid-soluble antioxidant in cell membranes. Ubiquinol (reduced form) is the active antioxidant; ubiquinone (oxidized) requires conversion. Membrane stabilizer.

Published Research Ranges & Study Context

Studies have administered: 100–400mg/day typical research range; higher doses (600–1200mg/day) in specific conditions
