So is there really any justification for paying more for ubiquinol or is the 'regular' form just as good? I actually take both forms per day but when my ubiquinol runs out, should I bother buying more or just buy regular ubiquinone?

If ubiquinol turns into ubiquinone in the stomach anyway and frequently interchanges forms in the body both having a purpose then there really why should we pay extra?

Made the personal experience since 7 years ago with angina-like chest-pain always when under chronic stress (physical and mental), that above 150 mg/d ubiquinone alleviated that pain. Then experimented with ubiquinol and found half that dose was needed for the same effects.

 

I use both too, due to the higher price for the latter.

I have been using Swanson regular CoQ10 (uqiquinone).  

 

I got distinctly better results when I switched to Swanson's Ubiquinol but the improvement may be because it uses a Kaneka ingredient rather than due to a switch from ubiquinone to ubiquinol.

I take Doctor's Best ubiquinol, my dentist suggested it for gum health (I suffer from mild gingivitis).

The ratio of prices for the two is larger than the ratio of bioavailabilities, so my take on it is that it's a better deal to just use a larger dose of ubiquinone.

I tried to make a cost comparison between ubiquinone and ubiquinol but it is hard because much ubiquinone is generic where a lot of ubiquinol is made by the Kaneka company.  Below are some figures I got but these are high-end products.  Also not every manufacturer uses Kaneka's "Q10" ubiquinone as an ingredient.

 
------------
 
Jarrow at iHerb for 60 softgels of 100mg costs this:
 
(1)  Q-absorb (using Kaneka "Q10" ubiquinone) $18.72
(Whereas non-"absorb" version of Jarrow CoQ10, still using kanela's "Q10", costs $12.85
 
(2)  QH-absorb (using Kaneka "QH" ubiquinol) $26.00
 
That's an extra 40% for ubiquinol.
 
-------------
 
Direct from Pharma Nord, 60 softgels of 100mg cost:
 
(1)  Bio-Quinone (using Kaneka "Q10" ubiquinone) $54
 
(2)  Bio-Ubiquinol (using Kaneka "QH" ubiquinol)  approx $69
 
That's an extra 28%  for ubiquinol
 
------------------
 
Have you got any similar figures to share?  Also, what additional bioavailability of ubiquinol over ubiquinone are you assuming?
