Products for a healthy lifestyle

For those people who need to take a higher dose of coQ10--for instance, anyone who takes or has taken lipid lowering drugs--this rapidly absorbing formulation from Douglas Laboratories is ideal. Each orange-flavored fast-melt tablet contains 300 mg of coenzymeQ10. While this product seems a bit pricey, for those people who take 100 to 200 mg of CoQ10 everyday (as we do) on a gram per gram basis, the 300 mg formulation is more cost effective than the 100 mg boxes of 21 melts. And we think it's a great product. Using patented technology, not available in any other CoQ10 product, Citrus Q10 has been shown to be the fastest absorbing CoQ10 formula ever. In a recently completed clinical trial, various delivery forms of CoQ10 were studied for their absorptive kinetics in male subjects. Citrus Q10 fast-melting tablet was compared with powder-filled hard-shell capsules, and two different soft gelatin capsules in a single dose, crossover study. The study has been submitted for publication, therefore the complete data cannot be disclosed prior to acceptance. Overall, Citrus Q10 was shown to reach a peak plasma level almost 3 times as fast as hard and soft gelatin formulations. Citrus Q10 patented technology and formulation allows for the creation of a mouth-soluble tablet. The process allows for the incorporation of a lipid soluble compound (in this case, CoQ10) into a water soluble matrix. A porous tablet can then be created that will begin dissolving on contact with saliva, thereby releasing the active ingredient in a suspension that is swallowed. The result, (extremely rapid absorption), allows CoQ10 to get into the blood significantly faster than other delivery forms.* Each fast-melt tablet provides 300 mg. of naturally-fermented coenzyme Q10 in a delicious tasting vegetarian and sugar-free formula. Tasting is believing. In bottles of 60 fast melts. Ingredients: Natural Coenzyme Q10 300mg, mannitol, sorbitol, citric acid, vegetable stearate, natural orange flavor and povidone. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
