Kaneka's Ubiquinol has won the Healthy Ageing Ingredient of the Year award at the NutraIngredients Asia award ceremony this year.
The awards scheme acknowledges and celebrates notable innovations and products in the nutraceutical field.
Ubiquinol is supported by 100+ studies and more than 80 global patents, and is designed to support mitochondrial, cardiovascular and women's health, while also offering benefits for cognition and energy in healthy ageing.
The NutraIngredients Asia Awards places specific focus on tailored nutraceutical solutions that can help consumers stay physically and mentally healthy during the ageing process, while also offering brands networking and exposure opportunities.
The Regional Head of William Reed Business Media and Editor-in-Chief of NutraIngredients Asia, Gary Scattergood, commented: "We are highly impressed by the product's reliability, its potential to support multiple health benefits and the substantial clinical evidence backing the ingredient."

“The 100+ studies supporting Ubiquinol outline the intricate connection between mitochondrial health, powered by the endogenous antioxidant Ubiquinol, and longevity, underscoring the critical role of mitochondrial function in cellular energy production, oxidative stress regulation and metabolic efficiency, which are fundamental determinants of healthspan and healthy ageing.”
