An Important Correction on the Ubiquinol Absorption Claim
This product provides 100mg of ubiquinol — the reduced, active form of CoQ10 — per capsule, stated as equivalent to approximately 280mg of standard CoQ10 (ubiquinone). As covered in more detail in our complete CoQ10 guide, it’s important to be accurate here rather than repeating common marketing claims: independent research generally shows no significant absorption difference between ubiquinol and standard ubiquinone. Claims of ubiquinol being dramatically better absorbed typically trace back to a specific manufacturer’s own research on its branded ingredient, rather than independently replicated findings — worth treating as one data point rather than settled fact when comparing products.
CoQ10 does have genuine research behind cellular energy production and antioxidant protection, and statin medication is understood to reduce the body’s natural CoQ10 levels, which is why some people discuss CoQ10 with their GP alongside statin therapy — though whether supplementation reliably resolves statin-related muscle discomfort specifically remains genuinely uncertain in research, not a guaranteed benefit. Claims about fertility benefits for men and women are based on early, more limited research rather than established outcomes, and are worth reading as an area of ongoing interest rather than something to expect.
This formulation includes vitamin B1 (thiamin), which has its own established role in normal energy metabolism, alongside a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) base intended to aid absorption of this fat-soluble compound. Ingredients: medium chain triglycerides, ubiquinol, capsule (hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose), thiamin mononitrate, D-alpha tocopherol, silicon dioxide (thickener), iron oxide (colour).
CoQ10 has mild blood-thinning properties, worth knowing if you take anticoagulant medication. Take one vegan capsule daily with food. Speak to your GP before starting if you take prescribed medication or have an existing health condition. Store in a cool, dry place, away from children.
