PASADENA, Texas, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kaneka Nutrients is continuing its ongoing commitment to Ubiquinol product authenticity through a third phase of independent market testing. As the recognized leader in Ubiquinol production in the United States, Kaneka Nutrients works to uphold the quality, safety, and efficacy of Ubiquinol through Kaneka Corporation’s patented process. Produced via a proprietary yeast fermentation method, Kaneka Ubiquinol® is sustainable, fully traceable, and bioidentical to the ubiquinol the body naturally produces—free from the cis-isomers produced during synthetic CoQ10 manufacturing. Given Ubiquinol’s central role in supporting cellular energy production and wellness across adult life stages, product authenticity is a consumer health imperative.
“We built this category, which means we have an obligation to protect it,” said Terese Mansell, Vice President of Kaneka’s Nutrients Division. “That stewardship extends beyond our own manufacturing standards to what consumers find on shelves.”
Working in collaboration with Kaneka Corporation and accredited third-party laboratories, Kaneka Nutrients continues to conduct independent market surveillance and laboratory testing of products labeled as Ubiquinol. This initiative is designed to give consumers and industry partners meaningful, evidence-based information about supplement quality, enabling more confident purchasing and sourcing decisions.
This third phase builds on a growing body of findings from prior rounds of testing. When results raise concerns about product authenticity, Kaneka Corporation will pursue appropriate action, including legal and regulatory remedies and, where warranted, public disclosure. These efforts aim to protect consumer safety and maintain confidence in the supplement marketplace.
Kaneka Nutrients encourages consumers and retailers to verify product authenticity by looking for the Kaneka Quality Seal on the product packaging.
