The Solgar Coenzyme Q-10 30mg is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with 30mg of coenzyme Q10 per phytocapsule. The coenzyme Q10 in the formula is KanekaQ10, a patented form of ubiquinone produced by fermentation from yeast. The package contains 60 phytocapsules.
It is aimed at adults who want a low, daily intake of coenzyme Q10, usually as a first contact with the ingredient or as a regular maintenance in long-term use. It is the milder of the two strengths in the range, for those who do not seek a high dose.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble substance that the body itself synthesizes and is found in every cell, with the highest concentrations in tissues with high energy demands. It is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria, the structures where the cell converts nutrients into usable energy, and participates in the electron transport chain.
Its endogenous production tends to decrease with age, which is why it has come to the forefront of research. It should be noted that coenzyme Q10 does not currently have an approved health claim at the European Union level, so it is presented here as an ingredient with a description of its biological role, without any promise of effect. The KanekaQ10 form is differentiated by its source, as it is derived from fermentation and is identical to the Q10 produced by the body.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, the company describes the formulation as follows:
The above statements are attributed to the manufacturer. Coenzyme Q10 does not have an approved health claim by the EFSA and remains a subject of research.
The formula is mono-ingredient: it does not contain vitamins or minerals, only coenzyme Q10 at a content of 30mg per phytocapsule. This makes it predictable, as no other active ingredients could overlap with other supplements in your regimen.
The casing is plant-based, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, without gelatin. The statement of absence of ingredients is extensive and covers sugar, starch, gluten, yeast, wheat, soy, dairy, preservatives, sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors, making it manageable for people with intolerances or those on a vegan diet.
It suits adults over 50 who want a steady, low daily intake of Q10. It suits those who are now starting with this ingredient and prefer to try a conservative content first. It suits people with demanding daily routines who are building a long-term supplement regimen. Finally, it suits vegans and those who avoid gluten, soy, or dairy. This is a dietary supplement and does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment.
Main ingredients per phytocapsule: Coenzyme Q10 (KanekaQ10, ubiquinone) 30 mg.
Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose (bulking agent), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (phytocapsule shell), silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent), vegetable stearate magnesium (anti-caking agent).

Form: phytocapsules
Recommended dosage: One (1) phytocapsule daily, preferably with a meal.
