What 500,000+ customers say about medino:
Description
Pharma Nord Bio-Quinone Active Q10 GOLD 100mg 150 Capsules is a food supplement containing 100 mg of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as ubiquinone in each soft gelatin capsule, plus riboflavin (vitamin B2). The Q10 is dissolved in oil, and the 150-capsule pack gives a long supply at the recommended 1-3 capsules a day.
Key Features
- Q10 as ubiquinone: Each capsule contains 100 mg of coenzyme Q10 in the form of ubiquinone, dissolved in soybean oil.
- Added riboflavin: Each capsule also provides 1.4 mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2), which is 100% of the Nutrient Reference Value. Riboflavin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- Light-protected capsules: Q10 is sensitive to sunlight and oxygen to some degree. The manufacturer purges the oil of oxygen and uses light-sealed soft gelatin capsules.
- Quality standards: Pharma Nord states that its supplements are produced under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and HACCP schemes.
- 150-capsule pack: At the maximum of 3 capsules a day, one pack lasts 50 days.
What is the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol?
Ubiquinone is the oxidised form of coenzyme Q10 and ubiquinol is the reduced form. Bio-Quinone Active Q10 GOLD contains ubiquinone. Pharma Nord states that the two forms switch between each other in the body's cells, so neither can be called more active than the other.
When is the best time to take Bio-Quinone Active Q10 GOLD?
Q10 is fat-soluble, so Pharma Nord advises taking it with a meal that contains some fat, such as breakfast or lunch. If you take more than 1 capsule a day, the manufacturer suggests spreading them through the day, ideally leaving around 3 hours between capsules. A few people have reported broken sleep after taking Q10 in the evening, in which case taking it at breakfast or lunch is suggested.
How long does a 150-capsule pack last?
At the recommended 1-3 capsules a day, one pack lasts between 50 days (3 capsules a day) and 150 days (1 capsule a day).
Is Bio-Quinone Active Q10 GOLD suitable for vegetarians?
No. The capsule shell is made from bovine (beef) gelatine, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians. The capsules also contain soybean oil.
