Hello everybody,
I'd like to ask why does ND use coq10 Crystal free solubilized in limonene oil while a study found it can't keep CF below 50 °C .
They say the only formulation which kept CF was in conjugated linoleic acid and monoglyceride.
Can i trust this study, or I'm missing anything?

I have CFS/ME and trying to find the most absorbable coq10 form.
Thanks in advance for your help.

That author is a well-known one in the CoQ10 scientific community. Sadly, he actually died after publishing that paper.

I'll have to try and replicate his data to see. If you look at the bioavailability, he claims that the Q-Best hit 8.48%, where the mean of the other CF formulas was 7.03%. So that is a 20% increase in bioavailability. Not a whole lot, but not nothing. Q-Best is Thorne's proprietary formulation. Last I checked, they had issues with stability. It was constantly separating in the softgels. You can see people reporting that online with Thorne's CoQ10. They don't call it Q-Best anymore, but that's it. We have never had issues with stability of CoQSol-CF, and have never seen any separation in the softgels. The author seems legit, though. I will have to do some testing in our lab.
