Bioavailable Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Supplements
Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural compound that helps fuel energy production, concentrated in organ tissues with high energy demands, such as the heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. The body can make its own CoQ10 supply during early adulthood, but our levels decrease significantly after age 40. Supplementing with CoQ10 can replenish those declining cellular reserves to support healthy muscle function, cardiac energy pathways, and daily stamina.

Standard CoQ10 supplements use generic fat-soluble powders that resist gut absorption, requiring high dosages with low efficiency. FutureYou Co-Enzyme Q10+ features, features Ubiqsome® phytosome delivery, binding CoQ10 directly to natural phospholipids to form an easily absorbed complex that passes smoothly through the intestinal wall. . This delivers 9x higher absorption into blood plasma and cellular tissue, paired with vitamin B1 to support normal heart function.

Dr Miriam Ferrer’s Perspective
As a supplement, CoQ10 in its natural crystalline form is hard for our bodies to absorb. Because it naturally repels water, it struggles to pass through the water-based lining of the gut. Swallow a dose of standard CoQ10 powder and most of it will just go to waste.
To get around this problem, we use a delivery system called Ubiqsome®, which binds CoQ10 to phospholipids, structures that mimic the body’s own cells. Recognising this familiar structure, cells actively absorb it through the gut wall.
Clinical data proves that this method delivers CoQ10 directly into your bloodstream and muscle cells, where it goes to work supporting your mitochondria – the cellular ‘powerhouses’ – to produce the energy your body needs. That matters most as we get older, or if statin therapy is part of your routine, since both can drain the body's natural CoQ10 levels.

FAQs
How does age affect natural CoQ10 production?
The body’s natural production of CoQ10 peaks in your twenties and declines steadily as part of the normal ageing process. By age 50, myocardial (heart tissue) concentrations of CoQ10 can decrease by up to 50% compared to younger adults. Supplementation provides you with a targeted daily intake to maintain tissue levels as the body’s own production slows down.
Why do statin medications lower CoQ10 levels in the body?
Statins manage cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme for cholesterol production.. However, as this enzyme is also involved in making CoQ10, statins can inadvertently suppress internal CoQ10 production by 20% to 50%. Taking bioavailable CoQ10 helps counteract this targeted nutrient depletion.
Can I get sufficient CoQ10 from my daily diet?
Dietary CoQ10 is primarily found in organ meats (such as heart and liver), fatty fish (salmon, sardines), and whole grains. However, the average daily diet yields only 3mg to 6mg of CoQ10. Achieving significant effective doses (50mg–100mg+) solely through food is difficult, making bioavailable supplementation a more reliable alternative for older adults.
Why is Ubiqsome® phytosome technology superior to regular CoQ10 softgels?
Standard oil softgels or crystalline powders contain large lipid molecules that are poorly dissolved in gut fluids. In Ubiqsome®, CoQ10 molecules are bound to plant-derived phospholipids, creating a microscopic complex that passes smoothly through the gut barrier. Human clinical trials show Ubiqsome® achieves 9x higher blood absorption and superior uptake into muscle tissue compared to unformulated CoQ10.
When is the best time of day to take Co-Enzyme Q10+?
CoQ10 is best taken in the morning or early afternoon alongside a light meal or snack. Because CoQ10 plays a direct role in mitochondrial ATP (energy) production, taking it earlier in the day supports daytime cellular vitality and prevents late-evening energetic stimulation.
Is FutureYou Cambridge Co-Enzyme Q10+ safe to take with other daily supplements?
Yes. Co-Enzyme Q10+ works alongside standard daily vitamins, including Omega-3 fish oils, Vitamin D3, and Magnesium. If you are currently taking prescribed medication, such as blood-thinning medication (such as warfarin), consult your GP or prescribing clinician before adding CoQ10 to your routine.
