What Is CoQ10 Oil Based Softgels?Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a molecule produced in the liver and also found in various foods such as meat and fish. CoQ10 supports the mitochondria during energy production and is a part of the body’s antioxidant system. While it is not considered a vitamin, it is often described as a pseudo-vitamin, meaning that it is vital for survival. While the body does produce CoQ10, our natural production tapers off as we age, and certain conditions, such as a heart attack, heart disease, and the use of statin drugs, can all reduce our plasma levels of CoQ10.

CoQ10 Softgels

Why Choose CoQ10 Softgels?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a molecule produced in the liver and also found in various foods such as meat and fish. CoQ10 supports the mitochondria during energy production and is a part of the body’s antioxidant system. While it is not considered a vitamin, it is often described as a pseudo-vitamin, meaning that it is vital for survival. While the body does produce CoQ10, our natural production tapers off as we age, and certain conditions, such as a heart attack, heart disease, and the use of statin drugs, can all reduce our plasma levels of CoQ10. Unfortunately, having low levels of CoQ10 in the body also predisposes us to a range of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, angina, congestive heart failure, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and various forms of cancer. Low CoQ10 softgels can also accelerate the physical and physiological signs of aging, as well as precipitate the onset of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Who Needs CoQ10?

CoQ10 is an important supplement for anyone with existing heart disease, a family history thereof, or more generally, for those over the age of 40. CoQ10 can also be used to boost one’s general antioxidant protection and help prevent or mitigate the signs of aging (including wrinkle and fine line formation). Many athletes use CoQ10 to help enhance their physical performance as well as speed up exercise recovery. CoQ10 is available in a range of formats, from capsules to chewable tablets, gummies, liquids, and powders. They are also available as softgels.

Softgels are similar to capsules but are made up of gelatin, and the ingredients they hold are always in liquid form—never dry (in contrast to capsules). This is why softgels lend themselves especially well to fat-soluble CoQ10 because they can accommodate CoQ10 in a liquid fat base for optimal absorption.

A decided advantage of softgels, in general, is that the softgel's material itself is an antioxidant, which not only extends the shelf life of the formula but also protects the contents against oxidation.

CoQ10 Supplements

CoQ10 softgels can be purchased in various potencies, most often from 30 to 200 mg. The usual recommended dose is 100 to 200 mg daily, though doses of 400 mg and more are also quite common and, as studies show, well-tolerated.

Final Thoughts on CoQ10 Softgels

CoQ10 is a fat-soluble compound, and its absorption is slow and limited. You can enhance its absorption by taking it with a meal or snack that contains some fat. Also, because the body cannot store CoQ10, it’s essential to take your supplement daily to reap its full health benefits.
