What is CoQ10 : Three types of CoQ10


The Coenzyme Q10 that is found in consumer supplements and functional foods & beverages today is derived either from yeast, bacteria or tobacco. 

KanekaQ10™ is the only yeast-fermented CoQ10 available on the market today.

The yeast fermentation method, developed by the Kaneka Corporation 30 years ago, produces CoQ10 that is identical to that produced naturally within the body.  This bio-identical form of CoQ10 lacks the impurities found in synthetic or bacterial fermented CoQ10. 

Synthetically produced CoQ10, chemically processed from tobacco, produces a by-product known as the “cis isomer” which is not present in nature.

The only significant safety, toxicity and efficacy studies on CoQ10 to date have been conducted on Kaneka’s yeast-fermented CoQ10.  Very little testing, if any, has been conducted on CoQ10 derived from either bacteria or tobacco.
