Any Australian women here using ubiquinol or Coq10

[Pbn3]

Hi. I'm in Australia and having trouble finding ubiquinol even from online. When I google 'buy ubiquinol Australia' it keeps just bringing up Coq10 products. Has anyone in Australia been successful at buying ubiquinol?

Hi I'm from Aus and have purchased the ubiquinol CoQ10. It's Swisse brand and called Absorb well co-enzyme q10. Each tab is only 50mg though.

Thanks boywish. I was advised to take between 400-600mg daily of Coq10 (I'm assuming its the same for ubiquinol, just waiting for confirmation) but if the one you're using has both names I'm even more confused. My understanding is that there is a difference between the two and I can't understand why I'm having so much trouble finding ubiquinol in Australia on its own I've seen 150mg tablets in my own chemist of Coq10, but I was trying to go with ubiquinol. Thanks again for your response.

I just googled to explain the difference and found this: IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE RIGHT KIND OF COQ10 TO TAKE!!! - Fertility Treatments - WhatToExpect.com

Can you try and see if amazon ships to Aussie? Ubiquinol is very easy to find on amazon

Thank you fknonl1ne. After reading that it definitely makes me want to find ubiquinol. I'm pretty sure amazon ships to Australia but shipping is really expensive. I will check anyway and keep looking.

Not a problem - my understanding is that Ubiquinol is the better absorbed form of Coq10 than the standard ubidecarenone which is in most supplements. Both forms are referred to as Coq10 you just need to check the active ingredient on the label - ubiquinol vs ubidecarenone. I've had a quick look on line and bioceutucals does a 150mg ubiquinol. In my searching the ubiquinol version was harder to find in Aus & also more expensive.

Hi there. I'm Aussie and live in Melbourne Victoria. I found th Herbs of Life brand ubiquinol in a health food store. They are 100mg and around $35-$40, so pricey. Who recommended you take 400-600mg, if u dont mind me asking?

Hi 1moregirl it was atomic who suggested 400-600mg of Coq10 but with the comment that ubiquinol would be better. I'm waiting to find out if the dose would be the same which I'm assuming it will. I've been reading on the net that ubiquinol is much better for older women and that taking coq10 could be a waste of time hence trying to find ubiquinol. (I'm 38). I may try my local health food store but you're right that is pricey especially if you have to take 4 tablets daily to reach the minimum dose

Thanks again boywish I will check that brand out as well.

Hi 1moregirl, I believe 400-600 is standard on HRC guidelines and protocols
