Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between CoQ10 98% Oil, 20% Powder, and 10% Water-Soluble?
98% Oil is pure CoQ10 in oil suspension (for softgels). 20% Powder is beadlet/spray-dried CoQ10 with carriers (for tablets/capsules). 10% Water-Soluble uses nano-emulsion technology for enhanced bioavailability in beverages.
Q2: What is CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10)?
CoQ10 (Ubidecarenone) is a naturally occurring quinone found in mitochondria. It plays a critical role in cellular energy (ATP) production and is a strong lipid-soluble antioxidant. Endogenous production declines with age.
Q3: Can CoQ10 be combined with other ingredients?
CoQ10 is commonly combined with Vitamin E, Selenium, Omega-3, and L-Carnitine in cardiovascular and energy formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
CoQ10 is permitted as a food supplement ingredient in the EU under Novel Food Regulation 2015/2283 (per EC 2017/2470 for ubiquinol). Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is CoQ10 content measured?
CoQ10 content is quantified via HPLC with UV detection at 275 nm per USP / Ph. Eur. methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 1 kg for 98% specification, 5 kg for 20% powder, 5 kg for water-soluble. Smaller quantities available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific CoQ10 content, carrier system, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
