When it comes to choosing a CoQ10 supplement, the primary factor is how many swallowed milligrams actually make it into your bloodstream. Coenzyme Q10 is a notoriously difficult nutrient to absorb. A recent study showed that in seriously ill patients, conventional ubiquinone CoQ10 was hardly detectable in the blood, whereas the new ubiquinol resulted in significant blood level increases and subsequent clinical improvements.Scientific studies show that ubiquinol absorbs up to 8 times greater than ubiquinone and that higher levels of ubiquinol remain in the blood far longer than ubiquinone. In studies measuring exercise-induced fatigue, ubiquinol was 90% more effective than ubiquinone. In middle-aged mice, ubiquinol was shown to be 40% more effective in slowing measurements of aging compared to ubiquinone.1 Japanese researchers have developed a novel ubiquinol delivery system that has been shown to double-peak CoQ10 blood levels (i.e.,100% greater peak absorption) in mice compared to the original ubiquinol formula. This enhanced ubiquinol formula also achieved a 66% greater amount of CoQ10 in blood over 24 hours compared to the original formula.2 Life Extension has been issued an exclusive license to distribute this enhanced-absorbing ubiquinol. More humans are supplementing with coenzyme Q10 than ever before. One reason is the increased awareness that the "statin" drugs used to lower LDL and cholesterol depletes the body of CoQ10. What most doctors don't know, however, is that normal aging may result in a greater reduction in CoQ10 than is caused by taking stat

Pleasantly SurprisedApr 26, 2009
By BWM I got the Gel CoQ10 because I heard it was good for kidney functions and my kidneys are near the point of dialysis and of course I like to stay away from that as long as possible. After taking the Gel CoQ10 for a few weeks my blood test got slightly better and when later I ran out and stopped taking it for a while my blood test got worst again so I went back on the Gel CoQ10 and my kidney results got slightly better again. This may be a coincidence and I don't think this is a cure for anything but my doctors at John Hopkins say its not hurting anything and I'm and my kidneys are hanging on longer than they should have so to keep doing what ever I'm doing. So I include Gel CoQ10 in my diet and exercise plan and if it just buys me a few months to enjoy the Summer and travel without dialysis or just buy me peace of mind it's a very small price to pay. For that reason it earned 5 stars in my book.

It came highly recommendedFeb 22, 2012
By Homie That's what they say in the health food store. Better than the regular stuff for older people. More absorption. Better results. Is it true, or worth the premium price? Who knows. I'll keep on using it however.
