What results can I see from taking CoQ10? CoQ10 is an important building block for your body’s energy-producing functions. It also helps keep your cells young and happy!

How should I take the CoQ10? We recommend taking your main dosage in the morning, to help supply your cells with energy.
How much should I take? The recommended dose is 2 softgels (~200 mg) per day in the morning, with or before breakfast. If you have any hesitation (due to a history of being sensitive to supplements, for example) you can begin with just one softgel in the morning.
