Sona CoQ10-Review
Product Claims of Sona CoQ10
Today we review Sona CoQ10. Formulated for patients on statin drugs, this supplement should help decrease the loss of CoQ10 in your blood due to these medications. With more CoQ10 in your blood, this supplement claims to help your heart and liver stay healthy.
Ingredients
Each capsule contains 120 mg of pure CoQ10. Clinical research, however, shows that the optimal daily dose for this nutrient is 250 mg. With less than half of this recommendation, this supplement will be less effective. Additionally, supplements like this should include BioPerine in their formulation, which the body uses to increase its absorption of CoQ10 into the blood. Without this addition and without enough CoQ10, this supplement is not as strong as some of its competitors to truly help increase your heart health.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer recommends taking one pill per day, with your largest meal. With only one capsule per day, you will not even get half of the clinical recommendations for this type of supplement. In order to reach the correct dosing for this nutrient, you would need to take 2 capsules daily, and that would still keep you 10 mg short of the clinically proven amount.
Cost and Guarantee
One bottle of 30 capsules costs $34.88. If you register for an account with this company, you can receive a 3 for 2 offer, which will give you an extra bottle for free. While free shipping is available on orders over $39, this is an Irish company, and this offer is not available for international shipping to the US. Taking international shipping costs into account, this product is quite expensive, especially considering the fact that each capsule has less than half of the recommended nutrients.
This manufacturer does not offer a money back guarantee on its products. Instead, if you are unsatisfied with this product, you can return only unopened, unused bottles for a refund of your money. In order to return your items, you must use the nationally postage service, as other carriers will charge additional duty fees, which will be taken from the amount you are refunded. Also, there is no time limit listed on how long you have to decide to return your items, which could cause the company to tell you that too much time has passed and you are ineligible to return your item.
Summary Of Our Sona CoQ10 Review
There are a few things we liked about Sona CoQ10. Each capsule contains pure CoQ10, without additional fillers or additives. Also, the dosing is an easy, once per day capsule.
We did, however, find many concerns in regards to this product. While the capsules do contain pure CoQ10, there is less than half of the clinically recommended amount of this nutrient in every capsule. With the small dose, you will not get the nutrition support that you need. Next, as this is an Irish company, the price of this supplement plus shipping is much higher than other similar products. Lastly, the manufacturer only accepts unopened and unused containers for refunds, and you, as the customer, are required to pay for the return shipping. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement to help you keep your heart healthy.
