As shown in the Review of CoQ10 and Ubiquinol Supplements, we have found that most (but not all) CoQ10 products contain what they claim. However, it's important to note that some are formulated to enhance absorption, allowing you to take a smaller dose, e.g., half the dose (see the "Absorption, Formulation and Dose" section of the report). This should be considered when choosing a product, selecting an appropriate dose, and comparing prices. It is also important know how and when to take Co10 to maximize absorption and minimize side effects. To get the most from "CL Approved" CoQ10 and ubiquinol supplements, see the Review, and check out our Top Picks.
I cannot thank you enough for your service! I have been able to get off my PPI completely due to your in-depth review of the many probiotics to choose from. I also appreciate your coverage of all the other supplements. Please continue to test the anti inflammatory supplements. I have RA and my Rheumatologist just told me that Inflammation is the root of all sickness. We know this already from reading all the research and I am so grateful for your help in finding things to help us.
Hi Richard - Thanks for sharing your experience with this. For more information about using licorice, including dosage and safety, see the article at https://www.consumerlab.com/tnp.asp?chunkiid=21674
Hi Alice - One clinical study has found the combination of PQQ and CoQ10 more beneficial for memory than PQQ alone -- you can read more about this using the link below.
I have been taking Doctor's Best Curcumin, based on your review. I have also been taking "Relentless Improvemen"' Curcumin (as 100% CurcuWIN). What's your opinion on this supplement, and can you include that in your review. Thanks!.
Hi Cam - CurcuWIN is discussed in the Turmeric and Curcumin Review here: https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/ /turmeric/#bioavailability. Although none of the products in the current review contain this ingredient, we will keep your request in mind for future reviews.
Hi Darlene - Thank you for your suggestion - we will keep it in mind for upcoming reviews. You can find a list of Shaklee products we have tested here: https://www.consumerlab.com/Search/Shaklee-Review.
I thought in the past in your CoQ10 report you recommended that if we are taking 200 mg a day, that we split it up and take 100 mg in the morning and 100 in the evening. When I checked your current report, I could not find that, but maybe I missed it. Because I am on statins, I take 200 mg a day of CoQ10 Ubiquinol. I have been splitting it up into two 100 mg doses, one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. Do you recommend one 200 mg capsule at night when one takes the statin, or two capsules of 100 mg, one in the morning and one at night? Thanks. Paula
I have found that taking ubiquinol late in the day or at night disturbs my sleep. I now take one 100mg at breakfast and one at noon. Problem solved. Max
You test Vitacost and Qunol CoQ10. Could you please test their Ubiquinol versions: Vitacost Ubiquinol CoQH 100 m and Qunol Mega CoQ10 Ubiquinol 100 mg? Thanks.
Would you please consider including Pro Caps Labs (Andrew Lessman) products in your testing? Your website is such a valuable resource. Thank you for all you do to protect consumers.
As discussed in the section on Absorption in the CoQ10 & Ubiquinol Review (http://tiny.cc/iw1nlx), Q-Gel (a formulation of CoQ10) is better absorbed than regular CoQ10, while ubiquinol is an active form of CoQ10 and may also be better absorbed than regular CoQ10. There are also special formulations of ubiquinol available, which may be better absorbed than regular ubiquinol. However, per your question, we are not aware of any direct comparisons between Q-Gel and ubiquinol.
Under the Product Tests tab, there is a link to choose reviews by brand. Second paragraph down. If you click on that, then sort under N, you'll find a list of all of the NOW products that have already been tested. There are several. I watch this list closely as I like NOW as a more affordable, yet still high quality, brand. Some good reviews in there.
I find your site so valulable. Could you please consider reviewing Invite Health commpany products. They are expensive, but very well made, considering their quality, a value product.
Hi Jacqueline - We tested NOW Ubiquinol CoQH-CF in our latest CoQ10 Review (ubiquinol is the reduced form of CoQ10). We've also tested a number of other NOW supplements - you can find the list here: http://tiny.cc/2wdmlx.
