5.0 out of 5 stars Pharmaceutical grade Co-Q10, January 19, 2012

This review is from: Jarrow Formulas Q-Absorb Coq10 100mg, 60 Softgels (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

I have been a fan of Jarrow formulas for several years now. This company provides an excellent product at a reasonable price. Jarrow does its homework in terms of researching the literature and applying it to their formulas. They provide a some of this information on their labels.

Q-absorb is a fine example of this since it is made according to the laboratory tested Kaneka protocol. Clinical trials of the efficacy of Co-Q10 have used this trademark Kaneka formula- essentially a pharmaceutical grade Co-Q10. Pharmaceutical grade Co-Q10 has been show to increase the levels of Co-Q10 in the body up to 400%. This increases the energy generating powerhouses of the body at a cellular level, specifically ATP and Mitochondria function. It also acts as an antioxidant.

What does this mean for us supplement takers? The most verifiable result of the energy generating action of Co-Q10n is improved heart functioning. In my case I am taking it to help with the symptoms of fibromyalgia, specifically fatigue. This is a new application for Co-Q10 treatment with some promising results. There is not enough evidence to state that this product is a cure for fibromyalgia fatigue but since Co-Q10 has a proven beneficial effect on the body it is worth taking anyway. Andrew Weil the renowned natural health authority recommends taking a Co-Q10 supplement.

My results have been mixed. I take l00mg a day in the morning. If I take another 100 mg at noon about 50% of the time I experience a slight increase in energy. The most noticeable effect of a second dose is an increase in stamina- even if my energy is low I am not so drained after activity. I am considering increasing the noon dose to 200mg.

I am convinced Jarrow provides an excellent pharmaceutical grade Co-Q10 and will continue taking it.

5.0 out of 5 stars After a month I feeling the benefits!, January 1, 2012

This review is from: Jarrow Formulas Q-Absorb Coq10 100mg, 60 Softgels (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

I've always taken a good balance of supplements, but hadn't yet found a Coq10 that I liked. This is the first one I've found in a softgel from a company I trust.

I've taken supplements for many years and I try to be very observant regarding the effects, if any, of any new products that I introduce to my routine. After taking this for about a month, I have started to notice that I have been feeling a little more energetic and my recovery time after exercise seems a little faster. I don't know for sure that this is a result of this product, but it's the only new thing I've introduced recently aside from Jarrow Activated Silicon, which should have no effect on my energy.

This is definitely a product that I will continue to take.

3.0 out of 5 stars Contains possible GMO soy as "other" ingredient, December 30, 2011

This review is from: Jarrow Formulas Q-Absorb Coq10 100mg, 60 Softgels (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

COQ10 is one of the most important supplements you can take. It contains one of the most powerful antioxidants and is often seen as a "youth" drug since it keeps the body from aging. The body's production of COQ10 however decreases with age. It is vital for heart health, and thus should be taken in higher doses by anyone with heart issues.

If you are on statin drugs, you must take COQ10 since statins block your body's ability to produce COQ10 naturally. Statin drugs actually contribute to heart disease by blocking the enzyme that produces COQ10.

Positives to this product are it is an "enhanced absorption" formula which you want to look for when buying COQ10. You also want to buy soft gels and not capsules, so this product fits that criteria. The main negative with this brand of COQ10, and why I won't buy it again, is that it contains soy lecithin as "other" ingredients. Since the product is not USDA organic, this soy most likely comes from GMO soy and is contaminated with roundup in addition to the unknown dangers of ingesting gmo foods. Soy also mimics estrogen and can cause hormone imbalance in the body. Of course the dose of soy in this soft gel is very, very small, but I still choose to avoid GMO products when possible. The brand I usually buy uses olive oil instead.
