What it does
Benefits of CoQ10 Ubiquinone
The energy nutrient your cells run on, at a dose that reflects the research.
The Nourivo difference: Benefits that build over time
Based on the length of published trials, not a promise of results. Responses vary.*
- Ubiquinone is fat-soluble and not acute, so there's nothing to feel on day one
- Taking it with a meal containing fat improves absorption
- Same time daily is the habit that matters most early on
- Published trials commonly measure CoQ10 blood levels and markers of cellular energy from around this point
- Effects reported in studies are modest outside of documented deficiency
- Statin use, which depletes CoQ10, is a common reason people start
- Most CoQ10 studies run two to three months
- This is a fair length of time to judge whether it suits you
- One bottle covers about a month, so plan on two to three for a full trial

What's inside, and why
Coenzyme Q-10 (Ubiquinone) 200 mg
The form used in most published CoQ10 research, at a full strength dose rather than the 30mg you find in a typical multivitamin.
Three ingredients total. Vegan friendly. Made in the USA.

CoQ10 in chronic heart failure
A randomised trial of CoQ10 added to standard care in patients with heart failure. Long-term treatment reduced major adverse cardiovascular events.

CoQ10 and blood pressure
A dose-response meta-analysis in people with cardiometabolic conditions. CoQ10 lowered systolic blood pressure, with the largest effect at 100 to 200 mg a day.

CoQ10 and statin muscle symptoms
A meta-analysis of randomised trials in people with statin-related muscle problems. CoQ10 did not significantly improve muscle pain or symptoms.

CoQ10 and fatigue
A meta-analysis of randomised trials. CoQ10 reduced fatigue, with larger effects at higher daily doses and longer treatment.

CoQ10 in aging and disease
A review of clinical trials of CoQ10 in aging and disease. Supplementation appeared to improve cellular energy production, and the authors call for larger, longer trials.

Questions
Questions? We're here to help.
What does CoQ10 actually do?
Coenzyme Q10 sits inside nearly every cell in your body, where it plays a central role in the process that turns food into usable energy. It also functions as an antioxidant. Your body makes its own, but natural production tends to decline with age, which is where supplementing comes in.
Why 200mg?
Most multivitamins and budget bottles land somewhere between 30mg and 50mg, which is enough to put CoQ10 on the label without giving you much of it. 200mg per capsule is a full strength serving, and it means one capsule a day rather than four.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. CoQ10 is fat soluble and absorbs considerably better alongside a meal containing fat. Taking it on an empty stomach means getting less out of the same capsule.
What's the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol?
They are two forms of the same nutrient. Ubiquinone is the oxidized form and the one used in the majority of published research. Ubiquinol is the reduced form and is often marketed as better absorbed, though it typically costs more. This product uses ubiquinone.
Who should check with a doctor first?
Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, under 18, or managing a medical condition. CoQ10 can interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, so talk to your physician before starting if you take anything regularly.
Where is it made?
Manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compliant facility. No proprietary blends — every ingredient and its dose is printed on the label.

A note from Dylan, founder
I started Nourivo because I was tired of supplement labels that oversell what's inside. Everything here is made to a standard I'd put my own name on.
