Country of origin: China Manufacturer's data: Idebenone COA

"Idebenone is closely related to CoQ10 in its structure. It can replace CoQ10 in the process of cellular energy production and, just as CoQ10, idebenone is also an antioxidant. There are some important distinctions though. Its cellular distribution and antioxidant profile are somewhat different. This makes idebenone superior to CoQ10 in neutralizing some types of free radicals and inferior in fighting other types. Notably, idebnone is more effective than CoQ10 in protecting cells from the free radical damage resulting from reduced blood flow. On the other hand, idebenone appears more conducive than CoQ10 to certain types of noxious free-radical leakage in the cell's mitochondria. Unfortunately, there have been very few studies directly comparing CoQ10 and idebenone in the treatment of various conditions." Todorov, G., Idebenone: a powerful wrinkle-fighter, a copy-cat or both?

Idebenone has qualities that make it a good choice for antioxidants, and collagen production recipes. Idebenone also promotes cellular energy production. Since it is closely related to CoQ10 it may be used as replacement for CoQ10 in many recipes. It is said to be superior to its counterpart.
