Kaneka Ubiquinol's 'Flexibility in Formulation' innovation partnership philosophy driving world-class award-winning results
Ubiquinol-powered Mitochondrial Health moves front and centre across food, nutraceutical and beverage formulations worldwide as consumer demand accelerates for cellular health solutions
BARCELONA, Spain, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaneka Ubiquinol™, the sole global innovative manufacturer and pioneer of Ubiquinol, and inaugural Mitochondrial Health Category Sponsor at Vitafoods Europe 2026, announced today that it has been awarded the coveted Vitafoods Europe Innovation Award 2026 in the Most Innovative Consumer-Ready Nutraceutical Finished Product category in partnership with Eqology Pure Arctic Oil Heart & Energy.
A first of its kind, the category-defining formulation, Pure Arctic Oil Heart & Energy combines sustainable CodMarine® Arctic cod liver oil, organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, vitamin D3 and Kaneka Ubiquinol™.
Backed by robust science, the formulation has been shown to support cardiovascular and cellular energy health, with validated oxidative stability[i]. Its dual-use functionality, supplement and culinary oil, exemplifies true formulation flexibility enabling easy integration into daily healthy eating protocols – uniting marine purity, Mediterranean phytonutrients and mitochondrial science into one clinically credible, sustainable solution, that presents a unique and tasty nutritional oil or dressing to enhance healthy lifestyle eating.
At the heart of this trailblazing innovation is Kaneka Ubiquinol™ – the more bioactive form of coenzyme Q10, which plays an essential role in mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant protection.
With mitochondria generating approximately 90% of the body's energy[ii] and natural ubiquinol levels declining from age 20+[iii], supporting mitochondrial energy production is increasingly recognised as important for cardiovascular health, reproductive health, women's health, cognitive function and healthy ageing.
Marking the prestigious award Kaneka EU GM, Filip Van hulle said, "This significant achievement drives our commitment to push further in innovation – partnering with brandholders with world-class science and expertise to co-create products that drive true innovation in mitochondrial health".

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced the launch of its "Anti-Phishing Month" initiative, reinforcing its commitment to protecting users through a combination of education, technology, and proactive risk management. Following a well-received debut last year, the initiative returns for its second edition.
In recent years, KuCoin has identified a growing number of phishing attacks targeting its users, with affected individuals primarily concentrated in regions. Among these threats, SMS phishing (smishing) and email phishing have emerged as the dominant attack vectors, accounting for over 90% of incidents. These attacks not only result in direct financial losses but also have a lasting impact on user trust. In response, KuCoin has prioritized a more systematic approach to anti-phishing efforts, elevating user protection as a core strategic focus.
Against this backdrop, May marks several global cybersecurity awareness observances, including World Information Security Day, World Password Day, and cybersecurity initiatives led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Leveraging this moment, KuCoin is launching its Anti-Phishing Month initiative to enhance user awareness and promote stronger self-protection practices across its global community.
Guided by its "security-as-a-service" philosophy, KuCoin has built a comprehensive defense framework combining user education, incentive mechanisms, and advanced security technology:
- Real-Time Risk Detection and Interception
KuCoin has deployed an industry-leading phishing detection engine capable of identifying and blocking suspicious login attempts and unauthorized withdrawal activities.
The system prevents over 5,000 high-risk access attempts daily, serving as the first line of defense for user accounts.
- End-to-End Security Alerts and Multi-Factor Protection
Across critical user actions — including login, withdrawals, and API binding — KuCoin integrates multi-factor authentication (MFA) and real-time risk alerts to ensure users are fully informed before proceeding.
- Continuous Security Education
KuCoin regularly shares security knowledge, phishing case studies, and risk awareness content through its platform and app. A built-in "Security Score" module further helps users assess and improve their account safety practices over time.
"In today's threat landscape, relying solely on technical safeguards is no longer sufficient. Effective security requires both strong platform capabilities and informed user behavior," said Edwin Wong, Head of Risk Management at KuCoin. "Through Anti-Phishing Month, we aim to make security a daily habit — something users can understand, engage with, and actively practice, ultimately strengthening long-term trust between the platform and our users."
As a key part of this initiative, KuCoin is launching the second edition of its "Anti-Phishing Month" campaign in May 2026, marking its first large-scale effort to integrate security education with incentive-driven engagement.
Through an interactive Learn-to-Earn format, users are encouraged to:
- Learn essential anti-phishing knowledge
- Enable additional account protection features such as Anti-Phishing Codes
Participants who complete the program will be eligible for exclusive rewards. Click here to join the campaign.

Founded in 2017, KuCoin is a leading global crypto platform built on trust and security, serving over 40 million users across 200+ countries and regions.
