Your cells make energy on a production line. This is the part that carries it between stations.
Almost all the energy you run on is made inside mitochondria, by handing it along a chain of proteins stage by stage until it is finally banked as ATP. CoQ10 is one of the carriers that moves between those stages. It is also fat-soluble, which is the practical part — taken without food, a good deal of it passes straight through.
- ✓ One of the carriers in the chain where your cells make ATP

- ✓ Ubiquinone form, 200mg per capsule
- ✓ 30 capsules per bottle
200mg of ubiquinone per capsule, 30 capsules per bottle — taken with a meal containing fat.

Where CoQ10 sits in the cell
Mitochondria produce ATP by passing energy along a chain of proteins, stage by stage, and Coenzyme Q10 is one of the carriers that moves it between those stages.
Kalén and colleagues (Lipids, 1989) measured ubiquinone in human tissue from donors aged one day to 81 years and found concentrations peaked at about age 20 in heart, kidney, liver, lung and spleen, then decreased with further age.
Vital CoQ10 delivers 200mg of ubiquinone per capsule, thirty capsules per bottle. Bhagavan and Chopra (Free Radical Research, 2006) report that absorption of supplemental CoQ10 improves when it is taken with a fatty meal, so take it with food rather than on an empty stomach. If you take prescription medication, including anything for the heart or for cholesterol, speak to your doctor before adding CoQ10.
Common Questions
Ubiquinone or ubiquinol — what is the difference?
They are the oxidised and reduced forms of the same compound, and your body interconverts them. This product is ubiquinone, at 200mg per capsule. Whichever form you take, take it with dietary fat — Bhagavan and Chopra (Free Radical Research, 2006) report that absorption of supplemental CoQ10 improves with a fatty meal.
Can I take this alongside my other supplements or medication?
There is no known interaction with the rest of our range. If you take prescription medication, including anything for the heart or for cholesterol, speak to the doctor who prescribed it before adding CoQ10.
How long does it take to work?
Take it daily with a meal containing fat and judge it over weeks rather than days.
