Nanoemulsified CoQ10 by Quicksilver Scientific

This is a 50 mL (1.7 fl oz) pump bottle of Quicksilver Scientific Nanoemulsified CoQ10, a liquid form of coenzyme Q10. Each 1 mL serving is 2 pumps and provides 30 mg of coenzyme Q10. The bottle holds 50 servings. It is a liquid alternative for adults who prefer not to take a capsule or softgel.

The label lists the active ingredient as Coenzyme Q10 and does not specify ubiquinone or ubiquinol. The coenzyme Q10 is delivered as a nanoemulsion, meaning the oil-based ingredient is dispersed into very small droplets using phospholipids from sunflower seed lecithin. Other ingredients are water, glycerin, ethanol, Vitamin E (as tocofersolan and natural mixed tocopherols), and natural citrus oils. Quicksilver Scientific markets this nanoemulsion as a highly bioavailable format that is designed to be absorbed without a fatty meal, which is the manufacturer's stated rationale for the empty-stomach directions.

The manufacturer's suggested use is to take 2 pumps by mouth twice daily, hold in the mouth for 30 to 90 seconds before swallowing, and take on an empty stomach at least 10 minutes before meals. At 2 pumps once daily a 50 mL bottle lasts about 50 days; at 2 pumps twice daily it lasts about 25 days. Follow the directions on the label or the instructions of your healthcare professional.

Quicksilver Scientific states the product is tested gluten free, soy protein free, allergen free, and non-GMO. The manufacturer directs that the bottle be refrigerated upon receipt and used within 60 days of opening.
