Can CoQ10 or ubiquinol be ruined by heat? I recently purchased several bottles of Qunol Plus from Costco.com and they arrived hot. The soft gels are not melted, but I am concerned.
Find out whether your CoQ10 or ubiquinol supplement can be destroyed by heat during shipping and at what temperature CoQ10 softgels can melt. ConsumerLab.com's answer explains.

January 14, 2015The "Natural Fermentation Process" also produces Co-Q9, 8, 7 etc.. which then has to be removed by another process. The synthetic process only produces Co-Q10.
Three Japanese companies produce Co-Q10 via the fermentation process; Kaneka, Mitsubishi and Asahi. A fourth Japanese company, Nishin extracts a compound called "Solanesol" from tobacco leaves and converts it to Co-Q10.
