Kaneka Ubiquinol has been awarded the Vitafoods Europe Innovation Award 2026 in the Most Innovative Consumer-Ready Nutraceutical Finished Product category in partnership with Eqology Pure Arctic Oil Heart & Energy.

The product combines sustainable CodMarine Arctic cod liver oil, organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, vitamin D3, and Kaneka Ubiquinol. The formulation has been shown to support cardiovascular and cellular energy health, with validated oxidative stability.

Its dual-use functionality, supplement and culinary oil, enables integration into daily healthy eating protocols, uniting marine purity, Mediterranean phytonutrients, and mitochondrial science into one clinically credible, sustainable solution.

At the heart of this innovation is Kaneka Ubiquinol, the more bioactive form of coenzyme Q10, which plays an essential role in mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant protection.

With mitochondria generating approximately 90% of the body’s energy and natural ubiquinol levels declining from age 20+, supporting mitochondrial energy production is increasingly recognized as important for cardiovascular health, reproductive health, women’s health, cognitive function, and healthy aging.
