The body produces Q10 itself; Q10 is also available as a dietary supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our range, you will find coenzyme Q10 in various forms and dosages: from high-dose capsules containing ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10 250 mg by Vit4ever) to softgels containing the reduced ubiquinol form (Ubiquinol 100 mg with Kaneka Ubiquinol by NOW Foods). Q10 is also incorporated into broader formulas, such as Collagen Plus by LUTO Supplements and Heart Essentials by German Elite Nutrition. This allows you to choose between a pure Q10 product and a combination product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is coenzyme Q10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance produced naturally by the body and found in almost all cells. Because the body produces it itself, Q10 is not considered a classic vitamin, but rather a vitamin-like compound. Since Q10 is fat-soluble, it is often taken with a meal containing fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUbiquinone or ubiquinol: what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 comes in two forms. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form and is the most commonly used variant in supplements; the body can convert ubiquinone into ubiquinol itself. Ubiquinol is the reduced form. Ubiquinol is more sensitive to oxidation and is therefore generally more expensive. Both forms ultimately provide coenzyme Q10; the choice is mainly a matter of personal preference and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does coenzyme Q10 occur naturally in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ10 occurs in small amounts in food, particularly in fatty fish (such as sardines and mackerel), organ meats, beef, nuts, and vegetable oils. The amounts in food are relatively low compared to the amount in a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eForms and variants in our collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find Q10 with us as individual capsules and softgels, as well as part of formulated products. The Vit4ever capsules deliver a high dose of ubiquinone per capsule and are vegan. The NOW Foods softgels contain oil-based ubiquinol. In combination products such as Heart Essentials, Q10 is combined with plant extracts and vitamin B1 (thiamine), while in Collagen Plus, Q10 is included alongside collagen and hyaluronic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage of coenzyme Q10\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard dosage in supplements ranges from approximately 30 mg to 250 mg per day, depending on the product. Because Q10 is fat-soluble, it is often recommended to take it with a meal containing some fat. High-dose products are sometimes taken every other day. Always follow the recommended dosage and directions for use on the packaging of the chosen product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should you take coenzyme Q10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ10 is a fat-soluble substance and is therefore generally taken with a meal containing some fat, such as breakfast or lunch. Many people choose a set time of day so that taking it easily becomes a habit. Always check the directions for use on the packaging of the chosen product for the recommended time to take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho might benefit from coenzyme Q10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 supplements are intended for adults who wish to use this substance as a dietary supplement. Do you take medication (for example, blood thinners), or are you pregnant or breastfeeding? If so, consult your general practitioner or pharmacist before starting to use a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should you look for when buying Q10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing, consider the form (ubiquinone or ubiquinol), the dosage per capsule, whether the product is oil-based, and whether it suits your dietary requirements (for example, vegan or free from allergens). Brands such as Kaneka are often mentioned as a recognizable raw material supplier of ubiquinol. Also consider whether you want a pure Q10 product or a broader formula in which Q10 is combined with other ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso view our related collections \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/collageen\"\u003eCollagen\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3-visolie\"\u003eOmega-3 \/ Fish Oil\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vitamine-e\"\u003eVitamin E\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"co-enzym-q10-vit4ever","title":"Coenzyme Q10 250 mg | 120 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCoenzyme Q10 250mg by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoenzyme Q10\u003c\/strong\u003e is a substance you have probably heard of. Vit4ever contains 250 mg of coenzyme Q10 per capsule, available in a bottle of 120 or 180 capsules. With a dosage of 1 capsule per day, that is 250 mg in a single, easy-to-swallow capsule, without having to combine multiple products to reach that amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is coenzyme Q10\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 is also known by the name ubiquinone, a name that refers to the fact that the substance occurs almost everywhere in the body: 'ubiquitous' means omnipresent. It is a fat-soluble substance that also occurs naturally in the body. Q10 is also found in food, especially in meat, fatty fish and nuts. There is no approved health claim for coenzyme Q10. Q10 is also widely used as an ingredient in skincare products, where it is applied topically to the skin instead of being ingested. This dual use, both internally and on the skin, explains why coenzyme Q10 appears on two very different shelves in the drugstore and supplement store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo bottle sizes, the same dosage per capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is available in two variants: a bottle of 120 capsules and a bottle of 180 capsules. Both variants contain exactly the same 250 mg of coenzyme Q10 per capsule; the only difference is the number of capsules per package. Those who want to build up a larger supply choose the bottle of 180; those who want to try it out first or prefer to buy a smaller bottle more often can start with the 120 capsules. At a dosage of 1 capsule per day, this amounts to 120 or 180 days of use per bottle, respectively, without changing the composition of the capsule itself. Both bottle sizes are produced according to the same specifications, so whichever variant you choose, the amount of Q10 per capsule remains identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan cellulose-based capsule shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe capsule itself consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based raw material used in the supplement industry as an alternative to gelatin. This makes this product suitable for vegetarians and vegans, something that is not always obvious with Q10 supplements because some variants are available with a gelatin capsule. The ingredient list of this product is kept short; you can find the full list further down on this page. For those who prefer not to see a long list of fillers and additives on a label, this is a nice detail. The capsules themselves have hardly any pronounced taste or smell, making them easy to take with a glass of water. This also makes this product practical for those who have difficulty with large tablets or a pronounced aftertaste from some other supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging that keeps out light and moisture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 is sensitive to light, and therefore this product is packaged in an airtight and light-tight tin made of bio-based plastic. This packaging choice is no coincidence: Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that, like many other fat-soluble substances, can break down under the influence of prolonged exposure to light and oxygen. By storing the capsules in a closed tin instead of a transparent bottle, the contents remain better protected until the moment you actually take the capsule. Vit4ever has the product manufactured according to German quality standards, with checks on both dosage and purity during the production process. This combination of protective packaging and a controlled production process is intended to maintain the quality of the capsule from production to the moment of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 remains one of the better-known names in the world of dietary supplements. With a fixed dosage of 250 mg per capsule, a choice between two bottle sizes and a short, clear ingredient list, this product offers a clear starting point for those who want to take a fixed daily amount of Q10 without any prior calculations. Whether you choose the smallest or the largest bottle, the dosage per capsule does not change, and that makes the choice between the two variants mainly a matter of how far ahead you want to plan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"250 mg","offer_id":51283399147858,"sku":"vit4-246","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-co-enzym-q10-vit4ever-1.png?v=1793698734"},{"product_id":"ubiquinol-100mg-per-softgel-120-softgels-now-foods","title":"Ubiquinol | 100mg per softgel | 120 softgels | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eUbiquinol 100 mg by NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for \u003cstrong\u003eubiquinol\u003c\/strong\u003e in softgel form? This formula from NOW Foods provides 100 mg of ubiquinol per softgel, made with Kaneka Ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is the reduced form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). One bottle contains 120 softgels, a four-month supply when taken one per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ubiquinol is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short, is a fat-soluble substance found in almost every body cell. The body also produces some of it itself, and due to its widespread presence, it is sometimes referred to as a vitamin-like substance. CoQ10 exists in two forms that can convert into each other: ubiquinone, the oxidized form, and ubiquinol, the reduced form. Both are found in supplements. This product contains ubiquinol, the form some people consciously choose over ubiquinone. Ubiquinol is the form present as reduced CoQ10 in the body and is therefore preferred by some users. Which form one chooses is mainly a matter of personal preference for form and formulation; both ultimately deliver CoQ10 to the body. In food, CoQ10 is naturally found primarily in organ meats, fatty fish, and in smaller amounts in nuts and vegetable oils, but the amounts obtained from these sources are limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKaneka Ubiquinol as a raw material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe softgels contain Kaneka Ubiquinol, a well-known branded raw material often chosen for its consistent quality and clear specifications. Kaneka is one of the most prominent producers of this raw material and is used in many ubiquinol supplements. The use of a recognizable branded raw material makes the origin of the main ingredient transparent. Each softgel contains 100 mg of ubiquinol, a clear, fixed amount clearly stated on the label. Because it revolves around one main ingredient, the formula remains straightforward, and you know exactly what you are getting. Ubiquinol is often offered in softgels with oil precisely because the substance is fat-soluble and can be processed in an oil base. A softgel also seals the oil well, which is appropriate for a substance sensitive to air and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFat-soluble softgel with MCT oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause ubiquinol is fat-soluble, it is combined here with MCT oil as a carrier. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a light, neutral oil that serves as a fat base here. The formula is concise: ubiquinol as the main ingredient, MCT oil, and the softgel components. The softgel contains gelatin and beeswax, making this product unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans. This, along with other information, is clearly stated on the label and further down this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ubiquinol is intended for those who consciously choose the reduced CoQ10 form, in a fat-soluble softgel with a short ingredient list. One bottle contains 120 softgels. Because the softgel contains gelatin and beeswax, it is not a product for those who eat plant-based, but it is a compact, easy-to-swallow form that you combine with a fat-containing meal. For those specifically looking for the ubiquinol form of CoQ10, this is a straightforward choice with a recognizable raw material.

The name ubiquinone refers to the Latin word ubique, meaning everywhere, because the substance can be found in virtually all cells. You get small amounts through your diet, from sources such as meat, fish, nuts, and vegetable oils. In supplements, Q10 is usually offered as ubiquinone or ubiquinol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ10 exists in two forms: ubiquinone (the oxidized form) and ubiquinol (the reduced form). Many people wonder which of the two is better. The honest answer: your body converts ubiquinone into ubiquinol and back again. The two forms are therefore not competitors, but two sides of the same substance. The advantage of ubiquinone is that it is more stable and has a longer shelf life, so it breaks down less quickly in the bottle. Vit4ever therefore deliberately chooses ubiquinone. It is worth noting that Q10 is fat-soluble, so it is recommended to take the capsule with a meal containing some fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy naturally fermented ubiquinone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all Q10 is made in the same way. The ubiquinone in this product comes entirely from a natural fermentation process, in which yeasts build up the raw material step by step. This produces the all-trans form, the same structure as the Q10 your body produces itself. The alternative, synthetic production, often starts with petrochemical raw materials and can produce a mixture of forms. In this light, fermentation is not a marketing trick, but a choice for a raw material with a recognizable structure. And because no animal materials are used anywhere in the process, the capsule is completely plant-based. A truly vegan Q10, including the capsule shell itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Vit4ever chooses 200 mg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany shelves contain Q10 bottles with 30 to 100 mg per capsule. This coenzyme Q10 200 mg is well above that. With 200 mg per capsule, one capsule per day is enough, without having to swallow multiple capsules. And with 180 capsules in a bottle, you have half a year before you need to reorder. This makes the price per day low compared to the smaller 60-count Q10 capsules you often encounter. For those who see Q10 as a permanent part of their routine, this value size is a practical plus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is a straightforward, plant-based Q10 product with 200 mg per capsule.

Ubiquinone is the oxidized form, ubiquinol the reduced form. The difference lies in electrons: ubiquinol has two extra, and it can give them away. Then it becomes ubiquinone, which can then take in electrons again. Your body therefore constantly switches between these two states, a bit like a rechargeable battery that runs out and gets full again. In your blood, Q10 exists largely as ubiquinol. Many people wonder what exactly the difference is between Q10 and ubiquinol. In short: ubiquinol is Q10, but in the form your body largely uses it itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere coenzyme Q10 is found\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery cell in your body has mitochondria, small structures that make energy in the form of ATP from nutrients. Coenzyme Q10 is found in those mitochondria, including in the heart, liver, and kidneys. Your body produces Q10 itself, and you get a small amount from food such as meat, fatty fish, and nuts. What many people do not know: from food you only get a few milligrams per day on average. A softgel of 100mg is therefore many times that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKaneka Ubiquinol in MCT oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKaneka is the Japanese manufacturer that first brought a stable form of ubiquinol to the market. That is not self-evident: ubiquinol reacts quickly with oxygen and then changes back into ubiquinone. That is why it is sealed off from air in this softgel, dissolved in MCT oil. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, fats from coconut or palm kernel oil that your body processes relatively quickly. Because Q10 is fat-soluble, your body absorbs it better in combination with fat. Therefore, take the softgel with a meal that contains some fat, such as a breakfast with an egg or yogurt, or your dinner. Good to know: the softgel contains beef gelatin and beeswax and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne last practical point: store the jar in a cool, dry place after opening and close the lid tightly. This way the softgels will stay in good condition until the last one. Choose a fixed time, for example with dinner, then the softgel will automatically become part of your routine. NOW Foods makes this product in a GMP-certified facility, an international standard for careful production and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 100mg variant is a logical choice if you want to start with ubiquinol.

CoQ10 exists in two variants. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form, ubiquinol the reduced form (with two extra hydrogen atoms). In your body, the two are constantly interchanging: your cells convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol and back again while they do their work. Ubiquinol is more sensitive to oxidation and more expensive. Ubiquinone is stable and is contained in this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much CoQ10 is in your diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also get some coenzyme Q10 through your food. Organ meats such as heart and liver are the richest source, followed by fatty fish such as sardines and mackerel, beef, and to a lesser extent nuts, sesame seeds, and broccoli. One capsule of this product contains 200mg of coenzyme Q10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy you take CoQ10 with a meal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause coenzyme Q10 is fat-soluble, your intestine absorbs it better if there is fat in your stomach. That is exactly the reason why NOW advises taking the capsule with a meal. A breakfast with yogurt, an egg, or a few nuts is already enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW Foods makes this product in a GMP-certified facility in the United States, with only rice flour, a cellulose capsule, and a little plant-based magnesium stearate as excipients. No soy, no gluten, and no gelatin. This way, you know exactly what you are taking in when you take one CoQ10 capsule every day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816712884562,"sku":"Now-062","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/co-enzym-q10-200mg-now-foods.jpg?v=1790166967"},{"product_id":"super-ubiquinol-coq10-100mg","title":"Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 100mg | 60 softgels | Life Extension","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSuper Ubiquinol CoQ10 by Life Extension\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you already taking coenzyme Q10, or would you like to know the difference between it and \u003cstrong\u003eubiquinol\u003c\/strong\u003e? Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 by Life Extension contains 100 mg of ubiquinol per softgel, sourced from the Japanese raw material manufacturer Kaneka. It also contains 100 mg of shilajit fulvic acid complex. Take one softgel daily with a meal; each bottle contains 60.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUbiquinol and ubiquinone: two forms of CoQ10\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short, is a fat-soluble substance that your body produces itself and that is found in almost all your cells. The name ubiquinone comes from the Latin word ubique, meaning everywhere. CoQ10 exists in two forms. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form, which you will find in most standard CoQ10 supplements. Ubiquinol is the reduced form: the same molecule, but with two additional hydrogen atoms. In your body, these two forms are constantly interconverting. The difference, therefore, is not that it is a different substance, but the state in which the molecule is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy ubiquinol is in a softgel with oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder why ubiquinol is almost always in a softgel rather than a regular capsule. There are two reasons for this. CoQ10 dissolves in fat, not water, so oil is a logical carrier. Ubiquinol also reacts easily with oxygen, which can cause it to turn back into ubiquinone. A sealed softgel with sunflower oil keeps air out. Kaneka was the first company to bring a stable ubiquinol raw material to market, and Life Extension uses that very Kaneka Ubiquinol™. Take the softgel with a meal so that you have some fat in your stomach, just as you get CoQ10 from meat, fish, and nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat shilajit does in this formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to ubiquinol, each softgel contains 100 mg of shilajit fulvic acid complex. Shilajit is a dark, resinous substance that slowly seeps out of rocks in mountainous regions such as the Himalayas. It is formed from plant remains that have broken down over a long period. Fulvic acid is one of the substances found in shilajit. Life Extension therefore calls this formula Super Ubiquinol to distinguish it from their ubiquinol without shilajit. The softgel also contains beeswax and sunflower lecithin for the proper structure, and annatto as a coloring agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 combines 100 mg of Kaneka ubiquinol with 100 mg of shilajit in a softgel with sunflower oil. Take one daily with food, and one bottle will last two months. For anyone specifically looking for the reduced form of CoQ10, this is a straightforward choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Life Extension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54826889314642,"sku":"LifeExtension-006","price":49.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/LifeExtension-006.jpg?v=1790248942"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/co-enzym-q10.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
