Coenzyme Q10 + E 100

CoQ10 (100 mg) with 100 IU vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol in a softgel to support cellular energy production and antioxidant defenses.

What it is

Coenzyme Q10 + E 100 pairs 100 mg of coenzyme Q10, in its ubiquinone form, with 100 IU of vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol in a single oil-based softgel. Both are fat-soluble antioxidants, and an oil base suits fat-soluble nutrients. CoQ10 sits in the mitochondrial membrane, where it plays a role in ATP production; vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Mixed tocopherols are included among the other ingredients.

Who it's for

The formula supports cellular energy production, mitochondrial health and the body's antioxidant defenses. The write-up also names cardiovascular, nervous system and immune function, and metabolic function, as areas that depend on CoQ10. It suits an adult who can swallow a softgel and wants a simple, two-ingredient energy and antioxidant foundation. The label gives no children's dose; ask your practitioner about use for children.
