Facts About Coenzyme Q10 Absorption and Bio-Availability

Fact: Without decent absorption and bio-availability of our CoQ10 supplement, we cannot hope to get good heart health effects.

Fact: There is much variability from one CoQ10 supplement to another. It is important to choose a CoQ10 supplement for which there is documented evidence of absorption and bio-availability as well as published evidence of improvement of heart health signs and symptoms.

Sadly, the claims for the absorption of many CoQ10 supplements have been greatly exaggerated in many cases.

Fact: How well the Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More is absorbed depends primarily on the formulation of the supplement [Lopez-Lluch 2019]. The CoQ10 supplements available for purchase are not equally well absorbed.

Why is Coenzyme Q10 so Difficult to Absorb?

• The CoQ10 raw material comes to the supplement manufacturers in the form of crystal powder. We humans cannot absorb these CoQ10 crystals; we need the crystals dissolved to single molecules to make absorption possible [Judy 2018].
• By themselves, CoQ10 crystals will dissolve at 48 degrees Celsius, which is about 10 degrees Celsius higher than the human body temperature. So, swallowing CoQ10 capsules containing CoQ10 crystals will not lead to much if any absorption. Only about 1% of a 100-mg crystalline powder tablet or capsule will be absorbed.
• CoQ10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules (also known as lipid-soluble molecules). To reach the intestinal absorption cells, these fat-soluble CoQ10 molecules have to pass through the watery phase of the small intestines [Raizner 2018]. Warning: No amount of processing will change the CoQ10 molecules from fat-soluble to water-soluble, not without changing the CoQ10 molecules to the extent that they are no longer CoQ10 molecules. We need to be wary of claims for water-soluble Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More.
• The CoQ10 molecules are large molecules. They are too large to diffuse into the intestinal absorption cells and to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Instead, the CoQ10 molecules have to be transported through the water phase of the small intestines in spherical complexes called micelles. In between the hair-like microvilli of the intestinal absorption cells, the CoQ10 molecules are released from the micelles, and some are absorbed by a passive facilitated diffusion process [Judy 2018].
• Absorption of Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More is improved if the supplement is taken together with a fatty meal [Raizner 2018].
• Divided CoQ10 doses will give a better absorption than single doses will [Singh 2005].

The Recrystallization of the Processed CoQ10 Molecules

To produce a CoQ10 supplement with a decent absorption and bio-availability, the manufacturer needs two things:

• the right formulation of carrier oils in which to dissolve the Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More crystals
• the right heating and cooling process to keep the crystals dissolved or recrystallized in a form that has a greater surface area to volume ratio resulting in better solubilization of the Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical...

Coenzyme Q10 is synthesized in the body in the same biological pathway as cholesterol. Bio-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10 begins to decline once humans reach their adult years. The reduced production of Coenzyme Q10 cannot be compensated in any practical... More is released from the capsule

Note: Needle-shaped CoQ10 crystals will give a better dissolution and absorption than plate-like CoQ10 crystals and rhomboid solid CoQ10 crystals will.

The Two Bio-Active Forms of CoQ10 Supplements

More and the reduced form known as ubiquinol. The two forms have equally vital biological functions, and, being redox molecules, they are easily inter-converted in the cells. Claims that one form is more important or more active than the other are nonsense.

The logical conclusion from the bioavailability study is that the formulation of the CoQ10 supplement — the right choice of oil matrix, the right heating and cooling process, the right additives — makes a big difference in the absorption and bioavailability of the supplement, far outweighing the importance of the form of the Coenzyme Q10Coenzyme Q10 molecules are fat-soluble molecules that are both bsynthesized in the body and ingested in the diet and in supplements.
