Product Claims of Nu U Nutrition CoQ10
Nu U Nutrition CoQ10 is a dietary supplement that contains coenzyme Q10. The manufacturer claims that the supplement has antioxidant properties and enhances your energy levels. They claim that their product is three times stronger than most other manufacturers. Nu U Nutrition CoQ10 is also vegetarian and vegan friendly. In this review, we examine the claims by the manufacturer and determine if this product is the best coenzyme Q10 (coQ10) supplement on offer.
Ingredients
The only active ingredient in this supplement is coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is a small molecule that has a few functions in the body. One of the most important functions it has is featuring in the process of energy production in almost every cell in the body. The process that generates energy in each cell is called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration has three phases, and the third phase, called oxidative phosphorylation, generates up to 95% of the cell’s energy. Coenzyme Q10 is an absolutely critical part of this phase and without it, oxidative phosphorylation cannot happen. In individuals who have decreased coenzyme Q10 because of aging or taking statin medications, have a decreased capacity to produce energy, causing them to feel fatigued. By taking in coenzyme Q10, your body’s ability to generate energy increases, causing you to feel more energized.
Coenzyme Q10 also functions as an antioxidant because it is able to react with and neutralize toxic chemicals in the cell, known as free radicals. Without antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10, these chemicals would build up and damage the cells and tissues of the body. This would lead to long term inflammation, which can lead to diseases like cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases and cancer.
The capsule is made of methylcellulose which is derived from plants. Many other manufacturers use gelatin, from animals. Therefore, this supplement is vegetarian and vegan friendly, as the manufacturer claims.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer recommends taking one capsule every day with food and water. The manufacturer does not specify any particular time during the day that the supplement should be taken, but we recommend trying to take it at around the same time every day to keep the dose constant.
This manufacturer claims that the levels of coenzyme Q10 in this product are very high. We find this to be incorrect as there are several other manufacturers that have a dosage higher than 100mg, with the best dosage being around 250mg.
Cost and Guarantee
The price of a package containing 120 capsules is about $25. This product can be purchased online. The price does not include shipping and taxes. There does not appear to be any bulk order discounts or subscription offers available from this manufacturer.
The information provided by the manufacturer is conflicting regarding the guarantee. Nu U Nutrition claims that a customer can return a product if they are unsatisfied for any reason, but their policy states that this only applies to unused products. The guarantee is valid for 60 days after the purchase.
Summary Of Our Nu U Nutrition CoQ10 Review
The claims made about the ingredients in this supplement are factually correct and the ingredients are all natural. However, the manufacturer is incorrect by saying they offer a high dose of coenzyme Q10.
The customer support offered for this product is also lacking. The guarantee is ambiguous and may not even apply if customers are unhappy with their results.
