Have you been taking coenzyme Q10 for a while and are you looking for a higher dose in a single softgel? This ubiquinol from NOW Foods contains 200mg of Kaneka Ubiquinol per softgel, dissolved in MCT oil. That is one of the higher doses you will come across in a single capsule. One softgel per day with a meal, and with 60 pieces you will last two months.
In supplements, you usually see coenzyme Q10 in doses of 50 to 200mg per day. Those who want to take 200mg have to swallow two or more softgels with most products. Here it is all in one. That makes daily use easier and your bottle lasts predictably. There is no official reference intake for Q10, because it is not a vitamin: your body produces it itself. That is why there is a double asterisk next to the dosage on the label. Good to know: you only get a few milligrams of Q10 per day from food on average. A dose of 200mg is far above that, and therefore it is wise to consult your doctor first in case of doubt or medication use.
Coenzyme Q10 exists in two forms. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form, as you find it in most Q10 products. Ubiquinol is the reduced form, with two extra electrons. What many people do not know: in your blood, Q10 is largely present as ubiquinol. Q10 is present in your cells in the mitochondria.
Ubiquinol is sensitive. As soon as it comes into contact with oxygen, it changes back into ubiquinone. Kaneka, the Japanese manufacturer of this raw material, has developed a method to keep ubiquinol stable, and NOW Foods packages it airtight in a softgel. Inside, it is dissolved in MCT oil, a fat from coconut or palm kernel oil. That is convenient, because Q10 is fat-soluble and needs fat to be well absorbed. Take the softgel with a meal that contains some fat. The softgel contains beef gelatin and beeswax, so it is not vegetarian.
Take the softgel every day with the same meal. A fixed place for the bottle helps with that, for example next to your breakfast items. Do store it cool and dry, and close the lid tightly. NOW Foods produces in a GMP-certified facility, so that every softgel is made and checked according to the same fixed protocol.
This 200mg softgel is intended for those who consciously look for a higher dose of ubiquinol and who prefer to take it in one capsule per day. If you are just starting with Q10, then the 100mg variant is a gentler starting point.
Where with many brands you need two or more capsules, one softgel per day is sufficient here.
Ubiquinol from the manufacturer that developed the first stable form of this reduced Q10.
The softgel keeps oxygen out and immediately provides the fat source that Q10 needs.
With the higher strength, you generally get more ubiquinol for your money per milligram than with two smaller softgels.

It is one of the higher dosages you will find in a single softgel. In supplements, the common range is between 50 and 200mg per day. There is no official recommended intake for Q10. If you take medication, such as blood thinners, consult your doctor first.
You can, but it's not ideal. Q10 is fat-soluble and your body absorbs it better with a meal containing some fat. The MCT oil in the softgel already helps, but having a meal with it is recommended.
That varies from person to person. Take it consistently, every day with the same meal, and stick to one softgel per day.
Mainly for convenience. One softgel a day is easier to stick with than two, and with 60 pieces you know exactly that you have a two-month supply. Per milligram of ubiquinol, you often get a better deal with the higher strength.
Because ubiquinol has two extra electrons that it easily gives away. When it comes into contact with oxygen, it gives off those electrons and turns into ubiquinone. That is why ubiquinol in powder form is difficult to store, and in this softgel, it is hermetically sealed in MCT oil.
They are two forms of coenzyme Q10. Ubiquinol is the reduced form, which circulates largely in your blood. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form; it is more stable and cheaper.
