Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Also known as Ubiquinone, Ubidecarenone, Vitamin Q10

CAS Number : 303-98-0

Product Overview

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound naturally present in every cell of the human body. It plays two essential roles:

1. Energy production – It is a key component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria, helping generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell’s main energy source.

2. Antioxidant protection – It protects cell membranes and DNA from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

Our CoQ10 is produced via high-purity microbial fermentation, offering a crystalline powder ranging from yellow to orange. It is available in both oxidized (ubiquinone) and reduced (ubiquinol) forms. The product meets USP, EP, JP, and FCC standards, with high bioavailability and stability.

Applications & Uses

CoQ10 is widely used across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and functional food industries:

Dietary supplements – Supports heart health, boosts energy, reduces muscle fatigue, and slows aging. Common in capsules, softgels, tablets, and gummies.

Pharmaceuticals – Adjunctive treatment for congestive heart failure, angina, high blood pressure, and Parkinson’s disease. Used in coenzyme Q10 injections and oral preparations.

Cosmetics & personal care – Anti-aging creams, serums, and lotions to reduce wrinkles and protect skin from UV/oxidative stress.

Sports nutrition – Improves athletic performance and recovery by enhancing mitochondrial function.

Food & beverages – Fortified functional drinks and energy bars.

Typical human supplement dosage: 30–200 mg/day; higher dosages (up to 300–600 mg/day) under medical guidance.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol?

A: Ubiquinone is the oxidized form (standard CoQ10); ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form. Ubiquinol is more bioavailable for individuals with poor absorption or older age. Both are effective; we supply both forms upon request.

Q2: Is CoQ10 heat-stable?

A: CoQ10 is sensitive to heat, light, and moisture. It starts to degrade above 50°C. For supplement manufacturing, low-temperature processing and light-protective packaging (amber glass or opaque softgels) are recommended. Our product remains stable for 24 months under recommended storage conditions.

Q3: What is the recommended daily dosage?

A: For general health – 30–100 mg/day. For heart health or statin-induced muscle pain – 100–200 mg/day. Therapeutic use (e.g., heart failure) – 200–600 mg/day under medical supervision. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting.

Q4: Does CoQ10 interact with medications?

A: It may reduce the effectiveness of blood thinners (e.g., warfarin). It can also interact with blood pressure medications, chemotherapy drugs, and thyroid medications. Inform your doctor if you take any prescription drugs.

Q5: Is our CoQ10 non-GMO and allergen-free?

A: Yes. Our microbial fermentation uses non-GMO yeast strains. The final product contains no common allergens (gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, shellfish). We can provide an allergen statement and non-GMO certificate.

Q6: Can I get a sample before bulk order?

A: Absolutely. Free samples (10–50 grams) are available for quality evaluation. Shipping costs for samples are borne by the customer. Contact our sales team to arrange.

Q7: What is the lead time for mass production?

A: For standard 25 kg drums, lead time is 7–15 days after order confirmation. For custom formulations or retail packaging, allow 20–30 days.

Q8: Do you provide third-party testing reports?

A: Yes, each shipment includes a batch-specific COA (Certificate of Analysis). Independent third-party testing (e.g., SGS, Eurofins) can be arranged at additional cost.

Q9: How should CoQ10 be formulated to improve absorption?

A: Because CoQ10 is fat-soluble, it is best absorbed when taken with a fatty meal. In supplements, manufacturers often dissolve it in vegetable oils (MCT oil, soybean oil) or add lecithin, piperine, or use nano-emulsion technology. We can provide formulation guidance.

Q10: Can I use this product in pet food or animal feed?

A: Yes, we offer a feed-grade CoQ10 suitable for pet supplements, equine products, and aquaculture feed to support cardiac and immune health in animals.
