Mitochondrial respiration without ubiquinone biosynthesis (Wang 2013)
- Vitamin K2, which has an isoprenoid side chain, and has been proposed to be a mitochondrial electron carrier, had no efficacy on UQ-deficient mouse cells.
Supplementation #
I believe ubiquinone is the best form to supplement with. It has its differences with ubiquinol.
- 300mg/day (not with ubiquinol though)
- Has a halflife of like, 33 hours, so it can be taken every other day.
- $12 for 24x100mg in liquid. $36 for 4 bottles though https://www.bio-alternatives.net/CoQ10.htm
