Now Foods coenzyme Q10 100 mg – 50 softgels with olive oil

Now Foods CoQ10 100 mg is a food supplement in softgel form, with each softgel providing 100 mg of coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound, which is why it is combined with extra virgin olive oil in the softgel, and the capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin. The container holds 50 softgels. The suggested use is 1 softgel 1 to 2 times daily with food, so depending on how often you take it, one container lasts 25 to 50 days. The smaller pack is a convenient choice for those who want to try the product first. The product is made in the United States by NOW Foods, a family-owned company that has been producing food supplements since 1968.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound that the human body produces itself and that is also found in small amounts in food, for example in oily fish, meat products, nuts and vegetable oils. In food supplements, coenzyme Q10 is usually offered in capsules together with oil. According to NOW Foods, the coenzyme Q10 in this product is produced by fermentation and is only in the all-trans form. The manufacturer describes the raw material used as pharmaceutical grade coenzyme Q10. One softgel contains 100 mg of coenzyme Q10; taking two softgels a day provides 200 mg. No NRV has been established for coenzyme Q10, so the table shows asterisks instead of %NRV.

How to use?

Take 1 softgel 1 to 2 times daily with food and swallow it with water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of 2 softgels. If you take one softgel a day, the container lasts 50 days; with two softgels a day, it lasts 25 days. Taking the softgel with a meal, such as breakfast or lunch, helps you remember it. Store the container in a cool, dry place after opening.
