Best Brands for CoQ10

I have been during research on the best forms of CoQ10, but it so confusing. Would welcome if you could name brands that have worked for you.
Thank you.

For years I've been taking liquid Qunol, on sale at Costco about every other month or so. Both my Cardiologist and hand surgeon recommended it because I also take a statin. It tastes fine.

Here is some info on it:

Description
Qunol® Liquid CoQ10, 100 mg - Orange Pineapple

#1 Cardiologist Recommended Form of CoQ10*

With superior absorption compared to regular CoQ101, Qunol® Liquid CoQ10 can help you reach optimal levels of CoQ10 in weeks rather than months with regular CoQ10.1

Patented Water and Fat Soluble
The problem with regular CoQ101 supplements is that they do not dissolve in water and they dissolve poorly in fat, therefore, they are poorly absorbed by the body. Qunol® Liquid CoQ10 100 mg dietary supplement is different. Qunol® Liquid’s patented formulation dissolves in both water and fat, and provides superior absorption compared to regular CoQ101†.

Qunol® Liquid CoQ10 for Heart Health
Qunol® Liquid CoQ10 is a good way to support heart health. Your heart, which needs a constant supply of energy, has the highest concentration of CoQ10 of all the tissues in your body. CoQ10 helps support heart health and helps maintain healthy blood pressure already within a normal range.†

Benefits


Beneficial to Statin Users3
Both cholesterol and CoQ10 are produced in the same pathway in the liver. Because statins work by blocking the cholesterol production within this pathway, it can also block the production of CoQ10. The addition of a CoQ10 supplement to statin therapy may help replenish depleted CoQ10.† Talk to your healthcare professional about adding CoQ10 supplements to your statin regimen.

Beyond Statin Users
Factors like age and stress may also lower the body’s regular production of CoQ10. In fact, most people start to produce less CoQ10 starting at the age of 21. Why does that matter? This coenzyme is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radicals that can damage otherwise healthy cells. Because cells are the building blocks of every part of your body, healthy cells are a necessity.

Essential for Cellular Energy Production
CoQ10 is a naturally occurring nutrient-like coenzyme that plays an important role in the production of 95% of the energy used by all our cells and organs, and no other organ needs more energy than our hearts. By helping provide the energy your heart needs to function correctly, CoQ10 helps promote vascular health and healthy blood pressure levels2. Taking a CoQ10 supplement may help increase your CoQ10 levels.†

1 Regular CoQ10 refers to unsolubilized ubiquinone in oil suspensions in softgels and/or powder-filled caps/tablets.
2 Helps maintain healthy blood pressure already within a normal range.
3 Cholesterol-lowering statins can deplete the body’s natural levels of CoQ10. Qunol® can help replenish lost CoQ10 due to statin therapy.

Say what thanks for responding. Do you have evidence that it is helping? I have been re-reading Dr. Sinatra's books which are very helpful, but I don't know how anyone can know for sure the brand of CoQ10 they are using is effective. L

Pretty informative and well written report from the Cleveland Clinic two years ago:

[health.clevelandclinic.org]

Here's an excerpt that might be particularly important to heart patients.

"Heart disease
Scientists have found that CoQ10 supplements are potentially beneficial to people living with heart disease. In a long-term study, people living with moderate to severe heart failure who took daily CoQ10 supplements had a reduced risk — specifically 42% — of having their first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). These events include a sudden hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death.

Participants also had a decreased risk for heart-related deaths (43%) and death from all causes (42%). “This CoQ10 supplementation is in addition to other treatments you’re using,” Peart adds. “Co10 supplementation is meant to work with, not replace, what you’re already doing.”

Thank you. Good information. L
