The Science
How Does CoQ10 Work
CoQ10, or Coenzyme Q10, is a naturally occurring compound found in almost every cell in the body. It is most concentrated in organs that require a lot of energy, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. In its ubiquinone form, it plays a key role inside the mitochondria, which are the parts of the cell responsible for producing the fuel that cells use.
Step 1
In the mitochondria
Ubiquinone sits within the mitochondrial membrane, the part of the cell responsible for producing energy.
Step 2
Shuttles electrons
It carries electrons through the transport chain, the stages that generate the ATP cells run on.
Step 3
Regenerated & reused
Each cycle converts it to its reduced state and back again, allowing it to be reused repeatedly in the process.
Ubiquinone (mainly this form)
The natural starting form
Ubiquinone is the oxidised form of CoQ10 your body converts and uses as needed. It's the main form found in this product, well studied and widely used in supplements.
Ubiquinol
The reduced form
Ubiquinol is the form CoQ10 converts into inside the body. It's sometimes marketed as easier to absorb, though evidence is mixed.
The Best Ingredients
Your CoQ10 Routine, Month by Month
Month 1
Start with 2 capsules a day with a meal that contains some fat, such as breakfast or lunch. Taking them at the same time each day makes the routine easy to keep, and one 60-capsule pouch lasts the month.
Month 2
Keep taking CoQ10 consistently with food. If you take regular medicines, such as warfarin, insulin or statins, check with your GP or pharmacist that CoQ10 is right for you.
Month 3
Most studies on CoQ10 have lasted from a few weeks to a few months, so consistency matters more than timing. Mild stomach upset is the most commonly reported side effect, and taking it with food usually helps.
Month 4
Review your routine and decide whether CoQ10 stays part of it. Do not exceed the stated daily dose, and remember that food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
The Confidence Behind Every Capsule
Us vs Them
Your Questions Answered
What does CoQ10 do?
CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is a compound your body makes itself, found in the heart, liver, kidneys and muscles. It is involved in normal cellular energy production: inside the mitochondria it is one of the carriers in the chain of reactions that produces ATP, the energy your cells use. Small amounts also come from food.
What is CoQ10 good for?
CoQ10 is involved in normal cellular energy production. Research into uses such as heart health, statin muscle symptoms and fertility is mixed or too limited to draw conclusions, and there are no authorised health claims for CoQ10 in the UK. Speak to your GP if you are considering CoQ10 for a specific health reason. Read our guide to what CoQ10 is good for for what the studies found.
Is this CoQ10 ubiquinone or ubiquinol?
Our capsules contain ubiquinone, the form of CoQ10 used in most research. Ubiquinone and ubiquinol are the two forms of the same compound: ubiquinone is the oxidised form and ubiquinol the reduced form, and your body continually converts one into the other. Compare both forms in our guide to CoQ10 vs ubiquinol.
Can I take CoQ10 with statins?
Statins lower blood CoQ10 levels because they block part of the pathway the body uses to make it. No harmful interaction is known, but whether a supplement helps people on statins is still being researched. Speak to your GP or pharmacist first, and never stop or change a prescribed medicine. See our guide to CoQ10 and statins for what the trials found.
When is the best time to take CoQ10, morning or night?
Take it with a meal that contains some fat, because CoQ10 is fat-soluble. Breakfast or lunch suits most people, as some find it affects their sleep if taken in the evening. Taking it at the same time each day matters more than the exact time.
How much CoQ10 should I take a day?
Our serving is 2 capsules a day (2 × 300mg = 600mg of ubiquinone), taken with food. A 60-capsule pouch lasts one month. Do not exceed the stated daily dose, and if you take regular medicines, ask your GP or pharmacist what suits you.
Is 600mg of CoQ10 a day safe?
For most healthy adults, yes. A 2006 safety review set an observed safe level of 1,200mg a day, twice our daily serving. Speak to your GP or pharmacist first if you take regular medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a medical condition.
What are the side effects of CoQ10?
CoQ10 is generally well tolerated and no serious side effects have been reported. The most common are mild: stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, headache and trouble sleeping. Taking it with food usually helps. Read more in our CoQ10 side effects guide.
What medicines should not be taken with CoQ10?
CoQ10 may interact with the blood thinner warfarin and with insulin, and may not be compatible with some cancer treatments. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking it with any regular medicine.
Is this CoQ10 vegan?
Yes. Our CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is made by natural yeast fermentation and filled into plant-based HPMC capsules, with no gelatin. It is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and is gluten and dairy free.
What foods contain CoQ10?
Small amounts are found in meat (especially organ meats such as heart and liver), oily fish such as sardines and mackerel, and smaller amounts in nuts, seeds and some vegetable oils. A typical diet provides only a few milligrams a day.
Can you take CoQ10 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There is not enough safety research on CoQ10 supplements in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so speak to your GP or midwife before taking it.
