Product Claims of Piping Rock Absorbable CoQ10
Piping Rock Absorbable CoQ10 is claimed to be a quick release, quick absorption coenzyme Q10 supplement. The supplement is designed to protect heart health especially for people who take statin medications, like those prescribed for lowering cholesterol. As an added bonus, it improves energy production. By taking a look at the features of this product, we will determine if it presents a good value for money.
Ingredients
- Coenzyme Q10
- Black pepper extract
- Gelatin
Coenzyme Q10 is also known as ubiquinone because it is found and just about every living thing. In humans and many animals, ubiquinone is a critical part of energy production. Ubiquinone features in the third phase of the process that produces energy in cells. The third phase generates up to 95% of the cell's energy. Ubiquinone helps to generate energy by passing electrons between proteins in the mitochondria (the powerhouses of the cell). Without ubiquinone, energy production would be very inefficient and would not support life.
Coenzyme Q10 is also a really good antioxidant. Antioxidants react with high energy molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are produced because of the chemical reactions in the cell, but if they are left to build up they can cause some serious damage. This damage leads to inflammation which, over a long period of time, can cause cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Black pepper extract is added to help the active ingredient, ubiquinone, absorb more quickly. Gelatin is the packing material for the soft gel capsule. Gelatin is derived from animal products, so it is not suitable for vegans or strict vegetarians.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer recommends taking one capsule, once or twice a day. The supplement should ideally be taken with a fat containing meal.
Each capsule contains 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 and 200 micrograms of black pepper extract. This means that the daily dosage of coenzyme Q10 will be between 200 and 400 mg. Although this dosage is around the optimal range, we don't particularly recommend inconsistent dosing instructions. This is because if people are taking different doses, the supplement may work for one person but not the other, leading to confusion about the effectiveness of this product.
Cost and Guarantee
180 capsules can be purchased online for $25.49. The price does not include shipping or taxes. Depending on the dose that a person chooses to take the supply can last them anywhere between 3 months and 6 months.
The manufacturer offers a one year money back guarantee. This includes products which have already been opened, as long as the unused portion is returned.
Summary Of Our Piping Rock Absorbable CoQ10 Review
The active ingredient is well supported by scientific literature, in terms of the claims that the manufacturer makes about the health benefits this supplement might bring. It is also commendable that Piping Rock includes an ingredient to improve the absorption of coenzyme Q10. However, this supplement may not be effective for everyone, because the manufacturer gives an inconsistent dosing regime.
