What is MitoQ?

MitoQ is a supplement which provides a world-first cellular health solution for overall wellness and vitality. Under the same name, we formulate with our patented next-gen molecule MitoQ® Mitoquinol Mesylate, an altered form of the antioxidant CoQ10

What is cell stress?

Our cell health is fundamental to our body’s health and wellness, and external and internal stressors can play a role in our cell’s functioning. A key contributor to cellular stress is oxidative stress. This is where there is an imbalance of free rad

Why is MitoQ needed?

As we naturally age and are exposed to everyday environmental stressors, mitochondria (our cellular energy-producers) can start to decline in function. This can diminish our cells' ability to cope and may present as feeling more fatigued, having trou

What results can I expect?

The main benefit MitoQ provides is the ability to combat cell stress – which is caused by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when your body’s antioxidants and free radical levels become unbalanced and tips in favour of the free radicals. Exces

What is the science behind MitoQ?

MitoQ is backed by over 20 years of scientific research and has been studied by some of the leading institutions in the world including, The University of Cambridge, UCLA, and Harvard Medical School. There are over 900+ peer-reviewed, independent stu

Why is MitoQ unique?

MitoQ is a true breakthrough as the world’s first commercially available antioxidant that targets the mitochondria. MitoQ’s design which can effectively enter and help restore our own energy-producing cellular batteries, mitochondria. MitoQ is a spec

Do I need MitoQ if I am young?

MitoQ is for adults 18+ and is used by customers of various ages, including those under 30, who find significant benefits in addressing age-related cell stress. Although age is a primary factor affecting CoQ10 levels, it's essential to recognize that

How long do I take MitoQ to see a difference?

We recommend taking MitoQ for 3 months as we believe this is a measurable period to feel the benefits MitoQ can offer. For sustained maintenance we recommend you incorporate MitoQ into your daily routine.

Can MitoQ replace my CoQ10/ubiquinol supplement?

Yes, MitoQ is based on an advance in CoQ10 technology and can replace CoQ10 or ubiquinol supplementation.

Why does MitoQ/CoQ10 need to be taken with statins?

In your body, CoQ10 is synthesized from the same type of precursor as cholesterol. What statins do is they inhibit that route of synthesis. So, by lowering your cholesterol, you actually end up lowering your body’s CoQ10 levels. When that happens, yo

Is MitoQ natural?

MitoQ doesn’t occur naturally but the active part of the MitoQ molecule is identical to the active part of naturally occurring CoQ10. However, the molecule has been modified in other ways to improve absorption. So, while it’s based on nature, we like

What results can I expect?

Everyone will experience MitoQ differently, depending on your age, your fitness and whether you have a health condition. As different cells and organ systems “re-energize” at different speeds, it can take days, weeks or months for you to experience t

Is MitoQ Mitoquinol Mesylate safe?

Yes, MitoQ Mitoquinol Mesylate is safe. Over 10 years of research has been completed into the safety. Further, we evaluate each ingredient in MitoQ products for quality, safety and efficacy to ensure we deliver a quality product to consumers.

Are there any side effects?

Our products are rigorously reviewed and tested for quality and safety. When taking the recommended dose these ingredients are generally well tolerated. However, in possible cases of allergy to certain ingredients, some people may experience abdomina

What are Mitochondria and why is it important to me?

Mitochondria are the tiny power plants that cells have. Every cell in our body is powered by mitochondria – also known as our “cellular batteries”. Mitochondria convert the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe into the energy our cells need to keep
