Outcomes
What ubiquinol actually does, by outcome
Each row is one outcome with effect size, evidence base, the dose that worked in trials, and time to first effect. Magnitude tiers come from native-unit MCID where available, Cohen's d otherwise.
Less of that heavy, worn-out feeling that makes simple tasks feel like a chore.
| Outcome | Effect | Evidence | Dose | Weeks | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reduce everyday fatigue Likely modest benefit | | 3 meta-analyses n=1.2k Meta-analyzed | 60–600 mg | 8–12 wk | #3/44 |
| Reduce oxidative cell damage Faint early signal | | 3 RCTs n=72 | 150–300 mg | 4–12 wk | #1/30 |
