Is Q-Gel an Organic CoQ10?

A number of people who are interested in using Q-Gel CoQ10 have asked the question, "Is Q-Gel an Organic CoQ10?"

Here’s the answer from our senior scientist:

“There is no such thing as “organic” CoQ10. CoQ10 does not grow on trees. It is not a phytonutrient. Natural (100% All Trans) CoQ10 is produced via fermentation using a special yeast.”

All of our Q-Gel® CoQ10 is produced via the fermentation process using a 100% natural yeast food source. All CoQ10 is obtained either by 100% fermentation using a special strain of yeast which yields NATURAL -- 100% ALL TRANS CoQ10 (the type we use in Q-Gel) -- or the cheaper synthetic alternative which involves partial fermentation and then synthesis using “solanesol” a chemical extracted from the tobacco leaf, (we do NOT use this type!).
