Kaneka Nutrients Announces Market Protection Measures Against Counterfeit Ubiquinol Products
PASADENA, Texas, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaneka North America LLC Nutrients Division ("Kaneka Nutrients") has initiated comprehensive efforts to identify and expose misleading claims about ubiquinol in response to an increasing number of fraudulent products. As the trusted leader in United States ubiquinol production, through a unique yeast fermentation method, Kaneka Nutrients endures the quality, safety, and efficacy of ubiquinol. Kaneka Corporation's patented process supports a form of ubiquinol that is bioidentical to what the body naturally produces and free of impurities typically found in synthetic ubiquinol/CoQ10 ingredients. Since ubiquinol plays a vital role in supporting cellular health and overall wellness, ensuring product authenticity is critical for protecting consumer health and maintaining confidence in the supplement industry.
"Kaneka Ubiquinol® embodies decades of scientific research, human clinical trials, and innovation. We take our market and consumer responsibilities seriously," said Kaneka Nutrients Vice President, Terese Mansell. "By exposing products that misrepresent their contents, we aim to prevent misleading claims that undermine trust, devalue authentic ubiquinol products, and compromise health outcomes."
In collaboration with Kaneka Corporation and accredited third-party laboratories, Kaneka Nutrients is actively conducting market surveillance and laboratory testing to ensure the authenticity of products labeled as ubiquinol. The goal is to provide consumers and industry partners with knowledge on the quality and testing of supplements so they can make informed decisions. When false claims are identified, Kaneka Nutrients will pursue appropriate legal action, including but not limited to litigation and public disclosure of fraudulent activities, to ensure consumers are not harmed by taking such products.
Kaneka Nutrients encourages consumers and retailers to verify product authenticity by looking for the Kaneka Quality Seal on the product packaging.
