Ingredients
- Coenzyme Q10 ubiquinone (microorganism) 30mg
- Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, capsule (gelatin, purified water).
The amount of CoQ10 (30mg) in this supplement is much lower than other brands and way below the recommended 250mg per day dose and possibly below the therapeutic level required. The supplement lacks Bioperine, the key ingredient that enhances the absorption of CoQ10. The capsules contain animal gelatin and are therefore not intended for vegetarians nor vegans.
Dosage Instructions
There were no instructions on the website regarding dosage. It didn't state how many pills to take per day, when to take the pill, whether before or after food, or with or without water. We did find the right dosing information when we checked Amazon's site. There it says to take 1-2 pills a day.
Cost and Guarantee
This supplement is not sold from the company website, but we found other sized bottles for sale on Amazon. The 30mg bottle was unavailable on Amazon, but a 60 count bottle of 100mg CoQ10 costs $15.27. Consult your physician before using this product if you're taking any medications. Do not use if under age 18, nor if pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or nursing. There is no mention on the company website about a guarantee nor a return policy. You should check the policies from the website where you purchase from. Lastly, there was no incentive for first time or bulk buyers on the company website.
Summary Of Our Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10 Review
Of the few things we liked about Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10 are that the capsules are in a softgel format and easy to swallow, and the information that there was on the website was clear and easy to read. The rest we have to say is negative. There were no instructions about dosage on the website which was surprising because we feel this is very basic information that anyone interested in potentially purchasing a supplement would want to know. The very low amount of CoQ10 (30mg) is much lower than other brands and way below the recommended 250mg per day dose and likely below the therapeutic level required. In terms of price, even at a stronger COQ10 dose of 100mg, the price for 60 capsules seemed high at $15.27. You can find better value and better guaranteed supplements out there. The supplement lacks Bioperine, the key ingredient that enhances the absorption of CoQ10. The capsules are made from animal gelatin and therefore not suitable for vegetarians nor vegans. There was no explanation of desired outcomes or how long it would take to see those outcomes. There was no incentive for first time or bulk buyers on the company website. In the product reviews that we read, we saw that many folks were dissatisfied with the results of taking the supplement. We strongly recommend only purchasing a supplement from a company that provides a full guarantee and one with an adequately high dose of CoQ10 to get the job done right.
