Coenzyme Q-10 (Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble antioxidant found in every cell of the human body, with the highest concentrations in the heart, liver, and kidneys. It works within the "mitochondria"—the powerhouses of the cells—to facilitate the conversion of food into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the body. Beyond energy production, Co Q-10 acts as a powerful scavenger of free radicals, protecting cell membranes and LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. As the body’s natural production of Co Q-10 declines with age and can be depleted by certain medications, supplementation is critical for maintaining metabolic and cardiovascular efficiency.
In Nigeria, Puritan’s Pride Co Q-10 (available in various strengths like 100mg, 200mg, and 400mg) is a premier wellness choice for heart health and vitality. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, high-stability softgels manufactured under strict cGMP standards and stored in cool, dry environments to maintain the integrity of the light-sensitive Co Q-10 molecule.
Important: This is a high-bioavailability lipid-based supplement. The "Fat" Rule: Co Q-10 is fat-soluble; it must be taken with a meal containing healthy fats (like avocado, eggs, or oil) to be properly absorbed. The "Statin" Warning: If you are taking cholesterol-lowering "statin" drugs (like Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin), your body’s natural Co Q-10 levels may be significantly depleted. Supplementation is often recommended by cardiologists to help manage statin-related muscle discomfort. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking blood thinners like Warfarin, as Co Q-10 is structurally similar to Vitamin K and may affect clotting times.

Those looking to support neurological health and cognitive clarity
Not recommended for: Children and adolescents under 18 unless directed by a pediatrician. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the softgel. Use with caution if you have a scheduled surgery; it is generally advised to stop Co Q-10 at least two weeks before the procedure to avoid any impact on blood pressure during anesthesia. Consult our pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; while generally safe, it should be used under professional guidance.
For Adults: Take one (1) softgel daily, preferably with a main meal
The "Morning" Rule: Because Co Q-10 boosts energy, it is best taken with breakfast or lunch to avoid potential interference with sleep at night
Swallow the softgel whole with a glass of water; do not puncture or chew it
Consistency is Vital: While it supports cellular energy quickly, the full cardiovascular benefits are usually seen after 4 to 8 weeks of daily use
The "Statin" Tip: If taking it to counter statin side effects, do not stop your prescribed medication; take Co Q-10 as a supportive companion
If a dose is missed, take it with your next meal, but skip it if it is almost bedtime
Co Q-10 is exceptionally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
Mild stomach upset or nausea (minimized when taken with food)
Occasional diarrhea or loss of appetite
A "burst of energy" that may cause mild insomnia if taken late at night
Rare: A mild skin rash in sensitive individuals
Rare: Dizziness or lightheadedness
Seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent insomnia, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives or swelling.

Why do I need this if I am on a Statin?
Statins work by blocking an enzyme in the liver that makes cholesterol. Unfortunately, that same enzyme is responsible for making Co Q-10. By taking a statin, you inadvertently lower your Co Q-10 levels, which can lead to muscle aches and fatigue.
Is Ubiquinol better than Ubiquinone?
Ubiquinol is the "reduced" or active form of Co Q-10, while Ubiquinone is the "oxidized" form. Both are effective, but Ubiquinol is often recommended for older adults who may have more difficulty converting standard Co Q-10.
Can I take this for my blood pressure?
Co Q-10 can help support healthy blood pressure by improving the flexibility of the blood vessels. However, it should never replace your prescribed blood pressure medication without your doctor's approval.
