  1. Q: How many capsules are in one bottle?

    A: We have the following packages:

    • Ubiquinol – We offer a one month supply and a three month supply. The one month supply comes with 30 capsules, and our the three month supply comes with 90 capsules.
    • CoQ10 – We offer a two month supply and a six month supply. The two month supply come with 60 capsules and the six month comes with 180 capsules.

  2. Q: What is the shelf life?

    A: Both the CoQ10 and Ubiquinol have a 2 year shelf life.

  3. Q: Where and how should I store this?

    A: We recommend storing both the CoQ10 and Ubiquinol at room temperature in a dry place.

  4. Q: What is the capsule made out of?

    A: The Ubiquinol capsule is made from fish (Tilapia).

  5. The CoQ10 is a soft gel made from gelatin

  6. Q: Is it gluten free?

    A: There is no gluten in any of the components of either the Ubiquinol or CoQ10; however, we do not test the final product for any of these items because they are not present. Therefore, it would be best for individuals with allergies to talk with their doctor.

  7. Q: Are they suitable for children?

    A: Both the CoQ10 and Ubiquinol are designed for individuals 18 years and older unless told otherwise by your health care provider.

  8. Q: What is the age recommendation?

    A: We recommend 18 years and older for both CoQ10 and Ubiquinol unless told otherwise by your health care provider.

  9. However, if you are under the age of 25 we recommend consuming the CoQ10, and if you are over 25 we recommend consuming the Ubiquinol.

  10. Q: Are any ingredients in the product organic?

    A: Dr. Mercola uses organic when ever possible, however, the ingredients in both CoQ10 and Ubiquinol are not certified organic. Please keep in mind that Dr. Mercola is very particular about what goes into his products and takes all the necessary steps to ensure that there are no impurities in the items that he sells, as he has a very high standard on his products along with each ingredient.

  11. Q: Why should I take it?

    A: To assist your levels of CoQ10 from diminishing by:

    • Helping you produce more energy for your cells
    • Boosting your heart health*
    • Acting as an antioxidant to help protect you from free radicals*
    • Helping you reduce the signs of normal aging*
    • Helping you maintain blood pressure levels within the normal range*
    • Providing a boost to your immune system*
    • Supporting your nervous system*

  12. Q: How exactly does it work?

    A: By restoring energy balance in your body to protect you from the damages of free radicals.

  13. Q: Where is each ingredient sourced/derived from?

    A: Natural CoQ10 comes from microbial fermentation. The Medium Chain Triglycerides are from coconut.

  14. Q: What is each ingredient responsible for in the product?

    A: Each following ingredient is responsible for...

    • Ubiquinol - a reduced form of CoQ10 and assists your bodies protection from harmful free radicals.
    • Medium Chain Triglycerides – because 100 mg of Ubiquinol doesn’t fill the caplique, it needs a medium for filler. Instead of using inexpensive possible harmful fillers, coconut and olive oil are used with the active ingredient. It also helps maintain stability of the active ingredient.
    • Olive Oil - the solution is composed of two substances inside the capsule; the substances being the Ubiquinol and olive oil. The Ubiquinol is the solute and the olive oil is the solvent. Therefore, the Ubiquinol begins as a liquid solution and through crystallization forms into a more “solid” or clumpy mass. If you look at the capsule right after crystallization has occurred, you can see the “solid” or clumpy Ubiquinol mass separated from the liquid (olive oil.)
    • Gelatin - is what the capsule is made of.

  15. Q: Can I open the capsules and just take the powder?

    A: These products were designed to be swallowed as a hole, and absorb in the churning of your stomach, therefore we do not recommend opening the capsule to take them.

  16. Q: Is it safe to consume while pregnant or nursing?

    A: It is recommended to take CoQ10 rather than Ubiquinol during pregnancy and nursing.

  17. Q: Is it safe for Diabetics?

    A: There are no known negative side effects for diabetics, however, we recommend contacting your health care provider before taking either of these products.

  18. Q: Are there any medical conditions or medication that should not be used in conjunction with this supplement?

    A: None that we are aware of, however, we recommend contacting your health care provider before taking either of these products if you have any medical conditions or are taking any type of medications.

  19. Q: Is the container recyclable?

    A: Yes, both products containers are recyclable.

  20. Q: What type of plastic (if applicable) is the bottle made of?

    A: Both the Ubiquinol and CoQ10 are in bottles that use type 1 plastic.

  21. Q: Does it meet Kosher and/or Halal certifications?

    A: No, neither product meets Kosher or Halal certifications.

  22. Q: Is there any possibility of corn being present in the product? If so is it NON-GMO?

    A: No there is no corn in any of the components of the product; however, we do not test the final product for any of these items because they are not present. Therefore, it would be best for individuals with allergies to talk with their doctor. As with all of our products we they are both Non-GMO.

  23. Q: Does it contain or is it manufactured in a facility that processes any type of: Soy, Dairy/Milk, Casein, Maple, Nuts?

    A: There is no Soy, Dairy/Milk, Casein, Maple, Nuts in any of the components of the product; however, we do not test the final product for any of these items because they are not present. Therefore, it would be best for individuals with allergies to talk with their doctor.

  24. Q: I am lactose intolerant will this be suitable for me?

    A: Yes this is suitable for those with lactose intolerance.

  25. Q: Does it require refrigeration?

    A: No it does not require refrigeration. We recommend keeping both products at room temperature.

  26. Q: Is it safe to take with blood thinners?

    A: There are no known negative effects for this to be taken with blood thinners, however, It would be best for individuals taking blood thinners to consult with their doctor.

  27. Q: Should this be taken with food and (or) water?

    A: Both products can be taken with food and (or) water, but it is not required.

  28. Q: I've been diagnosed with MS, is this suitable/appropriate for me?

    A: Yes, the Ubiquinol would be recommended for you.

  29. Q: Can Ubiquinol/Coq10 be harmful for the kidney problems?

    A: Studies actually show that the use of CoQ10 is a benefit for kidney challenges. This coenzyme has a significant impact on the mitochondria which is the little engine that drives every cell in your body.

  30. Q: Can I take this if I have an allergy to artificially produced color yellow #5?

    A: The formula does not contain any components of concern.

  31. Q: Will heat damage the Ubiquinol?

    A: Heat will not damage the Ubiquinol. Heat will cause the Ubiquinol to convert to liquid; however it is still active in this state. The product will crystallize at normal room temperature.

  32. Q: Why does the consistency change with the Ubiquinol?

    A: The Ubiquinol starts as a solution meaning the solution is composed of two substances inside the capsule; the substances being the Ubiquinol and olive oil. The Ubiquinol is the solute and the olive oil is the solvent. Therefore, the Ubiquinol begins as a liquid solution and through crystallization forms into a more “solid” or clumpy mass. If you look at the capsule right after crystallization has occurred, you can see the “solid” or clumpy Ubiquinol mass separated from the liquid (olive oil.) Through shipping, the heat can cause the Ubiquinol to convert back to a more liquid form. That form as you have experienced appears to be all olive oil, but the Ubiquinol crystals are still present in a microscopic form.

  33. The product converts to a full liquid state if temperatures are above body temperature. Our manufacturer reports you can hold them in your hand for a minute and see liquid build up. Conversion back and forth from crystallized state to liquid state does not harm this molecule. Therefore, you want to avoid light and oxygen because they will damage the activity of Ubiquinol, but heat is not a problem.

    Rest assured, our manufacturer and our quality control department both have assured us that when the Ubiquinol is in its solid or “clumpy” or liquid state, the product is perfectly safe to consume.
