Since 1977, Kaneka has commercially manufactured the only yeast fermented, all-natural CoQ10, making the product bioidentical to the CoQ10 produced naturally in the body. Ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form of CoQ10 that is more readily absorbed and used in the body. Our body naturally produces conventional CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) and then converts it to its usable form Ubiquinol, the nutrient essential for cellular energy production and protection against oxidative stress and free radicals. As we age, our body’s ability to produce and convert CoQ10 to its active form Ubiquinol diminishes significantly. Backed by more than 10 years of research, development and testing, Kaneka introduced Ubiquinol and it is the only supplemental Ubiquinol available today.
In 2018, Kaneka invested in AB-Biotics, an innovative biotech company with advanced R&D capability in the field of probiotics. Today, Kaneka is the largest shareholder in AB-Biotics and is the exclusive supplier of AB-Biotics’ probiotic formulations in the North American and Japanese markets. Kaneka’s probiotics perform many roles, including the support of Cardio metabolic, Gastrointestinal, Immune, Infant, Oral, and Women’s health.
