Summary Of Our Merit Pharmaceutical CoQ10 Review
There were some definite pluses that we found in this product. Each capsule contains a high dosage of CQ10 at 600mg. The product is free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, sugar, starch, milk, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish, and sodium. There is a 60 day guarantee provided by the manufacturer. The product is weakened by several disadvantages however. There seem to be no customer reviews available on the manufacturer’s website. There are no discounts for bulk purchases or new customer incentives provided by the manufacturer. It is unclear if opened bottles are eligible for return under the terms of the guarantee. We are concerned about the potentially overly high dose of COQ10 (600mg) per capsule compared to 100mg in other brands. At $30 for a month supply of capsules this is not the best value supplement of its kind on the market. The manufacturer does not share information about possible side effects or warnings for use which is a concern. There is no assurance that the product is free from GMO ingredients, or that it is free from fillers, binders, or if it is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Since the product contains gelatin, we can assume that it is unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans. For all these reasons we are unable to recommend Merit Pharmaceutical CoQ10. We suggest that you should choose a COQ10 supplement with a lower and safer dose of COQ10, with bulk buying discounts, and a guarantee that allows you to return the product even after trying it first.
