Question 1

What does CoQ10 specifically do to support ones health?

Accepted Answer

So there are three main functions to support cardiovascular health. The first is that CoQ10 is a naturally occurring oil based vitamin like substance that participates in the ATP formation in the mitochondria (fancy way of saying it helps with cellular energy). The second action links the first and third action in that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) also acts like an antioxidant in helping eliminate free radicals. The third action is the most profound for cardiovascular health. CoQ10 'prevents oxidation of LDL' which means it helps cut down on the formation of LDL. LDL stands for low density lipoprotein and since it acts as a transport molecule for fat stores to the arterial wall it can lead to atherosclerosis and hypertension. In a 362 pt meta analysis CoQ10 was found to lower systolic BP by 17 pts and Diastolic BP by 10 pts. Whenever you look at vitamins or medications you have to look at the cost/benefit. Obviously there is the cost of the medication, but more importantly CoQ10 has not been shown to have detrimental health effects, and the benefit is possibly astronomical. Hope this helps.

Question 2

Does this product contain soy?

Accepted Answer

The Vitamin E is processed from soy.

Question 3

which Co-Q10 is ubiquinol & not ubiquinone?

Accepted Answer

It is my understanding that ubiquinol is natural Co-Q10, ubiquinone is synthetic.  However, in my research of Co-Q10, I found that there are differing views as to which is most beneficial.  I also found that some believe water-soluble Co-Q10 is best.  I have used ubiquinone and ubiquinol, as well as water soluble and not, and believe I have experienced benefits from all.  I take 200 mg morning and 200 mg evening along with my other supplements and meds.

Question 4

expiration date

Accepted Answer

Mine iss good for roughly 4 years after date of purchase (bought 2/2013, expires 9/2017). I will say after having spoken to some pharmaceutical reps over the years, it's not that the drug or supplement will suddenly become 'bad' after the 'expiration date' but rather 1. They didn't want to test it out any further and 2. It will gradually lose its efficacy over time. Hopefully though you use it before then. Hope that helps.
