Ingredients
Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone), Hypromellose (vegetable capsule), Rice Flour.

How to Use
Take one (1) capsule once a day as a dietary supplement, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
The label says to take it 20 to 30 minutes before a meal. CoQ10 is fat soluble, so we have queried that with the manufacturer, and until they come back we suggest taking it with a meal that contains some fat.
30 capsules, one a day, so a 30 day bottle.

CoQ10 Ubiquinone
What it is
Coenzyme Q10, in its ubiquinone form
Three ingredients. Coenzyme Q10 as ubiquinone, a hypromellose vegetable capsule, and rice flour. One capsule a day, thirty in a bottle.
The question people ask first
Ubiquinone or ubiquinol
Ubiquinone
The oxidized form. This is what is in this bottle.
Ubiquinol
The reduced form. This is what it becomes.
The two are not rival ingredients. They convert into each other in the body, and whichever one you swallow, both forms end up circulating. Ubiquinol is usually marketed as the better absorbed of the two, but the evidence is less tidy than that. A 2019 study found a well formulated ubiquinone outperforming a patented ubiquinol, which points at formulation mattering at least as much as form. That is an awkward thing for us to say, because this label states neither its formulation nor its dose. We have asked the manufacturer for both.
We think the label has this the wrong way around
Take it with food, not before it
“take 20-30 min before a meal”
CoQ10 is fat soluble. It needs dietary fat to be carried across the gut wall, which is why absorption is better when it is taken with a meal that contains some fat rather than on an empty stomach before one. We have queried this instruction with the manufacturer. Until they come back, take it with food.
One number that is missing
CoQ10 is bought on milligrams. 100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg are the usual strengths and the price difference between them is large. This label does not state a milligram figure, and the 113 g on it is a gross weight that includes the bottle. We have asked for the strength per capsule and will publish it here.
Good to know
Questions, answered
30 capsules, one a day, so a 30 day bottle.
What is the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol?
Ubiquinone is the oxidized form and ubiquinol is the reduced form. They convert into each other in the body, so whichever you take, both end up circulating. This product is ubiquinone.
Is ubiquinol better absorbed than ubiquinone?
It is usually marketed that way, but the evidence is mixed. A 2019 study found a well formulated ubiquinone outperforming a patented ubiquinol, which suggests formulation matters at least as much as which form is on the label.
How many milligrams are in a capsule?
The label does not state it. We have asked the manufacturer and will publish the figure here.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. CoQ10 is fat soluble and needs dietary fat to be absorbed properly, so take it with a meal that contains some fat. The current label says to take it before a meal and we have queried that with the manufacturer.
What is in it besides the CoQ10?
A hypromellose vegetable capsule and rice flour as filler. That is the whole list.
How many capsules are in a bottle?
Thirty, at one a day, so a thirty day bottle. Most capsule products on this store are sixty, so this one is a smaller bottle at a lower price.
Is it vegetarian?
The capsule is hypromellose, which is plant based, and rice flour is plant based. CoQ10 itself is usually produced by fermentation. We have asked the manufacturer to confirm the source used here.
When should I take it?
Once a day, with a meal containing some fat. The label does not specify a time of day.
Does the body make CoQ10 on its own?
Yes. It is produced in the body and it is involved in the reactions that generate ATP.
Can I take it alongside other supplements?
There is nothing in this formula that conflicts with a typical supplement routine, but if you take prescribed medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Who should not take it?
It is not for anyone under 18. If you are pregnant, nursing or have a medical condition, speak to your doctor before starting it.
