Coenzyme Q10 (120 bovine softgels – Halal) is a natural supplement found in almost all of the cells in our body, as well as in lipoproteins. Practically every cell has the ability to synthesize Coenzyme Q10, but production begins to decrease in our 20s. The endogenous synthesis of CoQ10 is a very complex process that requires numerous vitamins, including vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, niacinamide, pantothenic acid, and vitamin C, as well as certain trace elements.
 
The primary function of CoQ10 in the body is its role in cellular energy production within the mitochondria, which is why it can affect many aspects of health. CoQ10 is also a potent antioxidant that helps protect tissues and cellular components from free radical damage. It is also especially important for individuals taking statins, as CoQ10 levels may decrease during statin use.
 
Absorb Science’s Coenzyme Q10 is produced through a fermentation process. Commercially, there is also a semi-synthetic process for producing CoQ10 using solanesol, a tobacco byproduct. Fermented Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble supplement and is therefore absorbed like other fats in the diet.
 
The form of CoQ10 used, ubiquinone, is not only more affordable, but also shows little to no statistically significant difference in effect compared with the more expensive ubiquinol form.
 
Recommended Dose: Adult (19 years & over) Take one softgel 1- 2 times per day with meals.
