CoQ10: The Mitochondrial Spark Plug

What is CoQ10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring nutrient found in every cell of your body. Its main role is to support your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses that generate ATP, the energy your body runs on. Without CoQ10, your cells can’t keep up with energy demands, especially in high-energy organs like your heart, brain, and muscles.

Beyond energy, CoQ10 also works as a potent antioxidant, protecting your cells from oxidative stress and supporting overall resilience.

The Different Forms: Ubiquinone vs. Ubiquinol

CoQ10 comes in two forms, and your body naturally cycles between them:

Ubiquinone (oxidized form): The most common and stable form, widely studied in clinical research. Your body converts it into ubiquinol as needed.

Ubiquinol (reduced form): The antioxidant form circulating in the blood. It’s more expensive and less stable but may offer absorption advantages in older adults.

At SFH, we use ubiquinone because it’s the most clinically studied, stable, and effective form, ensuring consistency and reliability in every dose.

Why SFH Added CoQ10 to RECOVER

Our RECOVER formula was an all encompassing formula designed to refuel energy, speed up muscle recovery after training and provide joint support. CoQ10 played a key role, especially when paired with D-Ribose and L-Carnitine:

CoQ10 → powers mitochondria to produce ATP (your body’s energy currency)
D-Ribose → provides the building blocks to regenerate ATP faster
L-Carnitine → shuttles fatty acids into mitochondria so they can be used for energy

Together, these ingredients worked in synergy to push energy back into your cells after intense training, helping you bounce back faster and stronger.

What’s Changing

For now, we’ve made the tough decision to pause RECOVER. But we believe so strongly in CoQ10 that we didn’t want our community to lose access to it. That’s why we created a standalone SFH CoQ10 200mg capsule (double the amount that was found in RECOVER), so you can keep this vital nutrient in your daily routine.

Whether you’re focused on heart health, energy production, or athletic recovery, CoQ10 remains a must-have.

Why We Love Our CoQ10
200mg clinically relevant dose
Ubiquinone form (the most stable, well-studied form)
Clean, simple formula: just what your body needs, nothing extra
Works on its own or stacked with Omega-3, Magnesium, or NAD+ for even greater mitochondrial support

Looking Ahead

RECOVER will be back in the future, stronger than ever. Until then, our SFH CoQ10 200mg makes sure you can continue reaping the benefits of this incredible nutrient every day.
