The natural form of vitamin E, d-Alpha-Tocopherol, is in Advanced Coenzyme Q10. It is far superior to synthetic in terms of retention in the body and absorption.

When you are young, your body can produce adequate levels of CoQ10. However, as you get older, your cells do not produce enough of the energy they need to function well. Supplementation of Co-Q10 has been shown to raise blood levels of this co-enzyme when the body’s ability to synthesize it begins to decrease.

Coenzyme Q10 has been used in maintenance servings of 30-60 mg, but servings can go up to 100 mg or more.

Coenzyme Q10 should be taken with a meal containing some fat. However, taking it in combination with soy or vegetable oil substantially enhances its absorption.

No. The safety of coenzyme Q10 has not been established in pregnancy and lactation.

Yes, it is safe to take Co-Q10; it does not produce any toxic side effects when ingested by humans or animals. It is listed in the 42nd edition of the Physicians Desk Reference as replacement therapy for a nutrient, and no adverse reactions are listed.
