The answer to the question “What brand of CoQ10 is best?” has puzzled me for many years. I have been telling members of my global audience to avoid purchasing inexpensive brands because you are throwing your money away. The more expensive brands are clearly preferable.
What I did not understand until recently is that the melting point of CoQ10 is 10 degrees above normal body temperature. Most of the supplements you buy -even those in oil – have crystallized even before you put them in your body. Really you say?
Check it out for yourself. Paste whatever brand of CoQ10 you currently take on a sheet of wax paper. Then, shine the light from flashlight (or your phone) onto the spread of CoQ10. Do you see crystals? If so, your body is likely absorbing a tiny fraction of the CoQ10 from the supplement you are taking – as little as 1%.
In short, you are throwing your money down the toilet. This is partly why research studies find that you need to take relatively large doses of CoQ10. If the absorption is so terribly low, a high dose would be necessary.
You are having to spend a lot of money to get a modest benefit in return.
Natural pharmacist Ross Pelton tells me that the story does not end there. Even if the CoQ10 has not crystallized before you take it, it may crystallize after you take it. It was Ross who introduced me to the 75 studies of the Pharmanord brand of CoQ10 which reports a very high absorption rate.
I called the company to explore this further. I acquired some for myself and my family and have experienced more energy which I need desperately to keep up with the demands of Parkinsons Recovery. After over a decade of hesitation to recommend a best CoQ10 brand, I am finally comfortable recommending this one.
The price is also reasonable and you do not have to take as much. You can order the PharmaNord (https://www.pharmanord.com) CoQ10 directly on their website. Their professional staff set up a 20% discount for members of my audience. Enter the coupon code PRQ10WEB to claim a 20% discount (not case sensitive) if you are shipping to a USA destination.
Check out the Pharmanord research for yourself. It is extensive and impressive.
