Coenzyme Q10 200mg by NOW Foods
You may have read about it before: coenzyme Q10, often simply called CoQ10. These bottles from NOW Foods contain 60 plant-based capsules, each with 200mg of ubiquinone. That is the classic form of CoQ10. Convenient if you are looking for a simple product with a clear dosage per capsule and nothing else you don't need.
What coenzyme Q10 actually is
Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that your body produces itself. You find it in almost every cell, with the highest concentrations in organs that consume a lot of energy, such as your heart, liver, and kidneys. Inside the cell, it is mainly located in the mitochondria (the small power plants of your cells).
Ubiquinone or ubiquinol, what is the difference
Many people wonder which form they should choose. 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.
How much CoQ10 is in your diet
You 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.
Why you take CoQ10 with a meal
Because 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.
NOW 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.
Why Coenzyme Q10 200 mg from NOW Foods?
200mg ubiquinone in each capsule
One capsule delivers 200mg of coenzyme Q10, so you don't have to swallow multiple capsules.
A two-month supply with one capsule per day
The bottle contains 60 capsules. With one capsule at mealtimes, it lasts exactly two months.
Plant-based capsule without gelatin
The capsule is made of cellulose and only contains rice flour as a filler. Not produced with soy, gluten, milk or egg.
The stable form of CoQ10
Ubiquinone is less susceptible to oxidation than ubiquinol. As a result, the concentration remains well maintained even after opening the container, as long as it is stored in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much coenzyme Q10 is in one capsule?
This capsule contains 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone). NOW recommends taking no more than one capsule per day.
When is the best time to take CoQ10?
With a meal, preferably one that contains some fat. CoQ10 dissolves in fat, not in water, so your intestines absorb it better if you eat something at the same time. Whether that is in the morning or evening doesn't matter much.
What is the difference between ubiquinol and ubiquinone?
Ubiquinone is the oxidized form, ubiquinol the reduced form. Your body converts the two forms into each other. Ubiquinol is more expensive and more sensitive to oxidation. This product contains ubiquinone.
Can you combine CoQ10 with medication?
Always discuss this first with your doctor or pharmacist. CoQ10 is structurally similar to vitamin K and may affect the effectiveness of blood thinners such as warfarin.
What is the difference between 100mg and 200mg CoQ10?
Only the amount per capsule. With 200mg you only need one capsule per day, whereas with 100mg you need two for the same amount. Convenient if you prefer taking fewer capsules.
