Life Extension - CoQ10

1. Bioavailability

This supplement uses advanced, highly absorbable forms to maximize CoQ10 delivery.

  • Kaneka Ubiquinol™ — the reduced, active form of CoQ10 with higher absorption than ubiquinone

  • PrimaVie® shilajit — enhances mitochondrial uptake and recycling of CoQ10

  • Softgel with oil base — improves absorption versus dry capsules

2. Dosage / Potency

It provides a solid maintenance dose suitable for everyday cardiovascular and mitochondrial support.

  • 100 mg ubiquinol per softgel

  • 100 mg PrimaVie® shilajit for synergy

  • Positioned at the lower end of therapeutic dosing but appropriate for most healthy adults

  • Higher doses sometimes recommended under physician guidance (e.g., statin users, heart conditions)

3. Source

Life Extension partners with reputable ingredient suppliers and uses a softgel format.

  • Ubiquinol from Kaneka — trusted Japanese supplier

  • Standardized Himalayan shilajit extract for consistent potency

  • Sunflower oil base — not vegan due to gelatin but improves bioavailability

4. Excipients / Fillers

Overall clean ingredient list, avoiding the worst excipients commonly found in softgels.

  • Contains: sunflower oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, beeswax, sunflower lecithin, annatto color

  • Free from: soy oil, titanium dioxide, artificial preservatives
