Is Q-Gel the most powerful CoQ10?

We often receive variations on the following question: “Is Q-Gel the most powerful CoQ10? And, if so, what makes it so powerful?” We received the following explanation from one of the Senior Scientists at Tishcon Corp. (the manufacturer of Q-Gel CoQ10).

“The word "Powerful" simply means the rate and extent to which the CoQ10 is absorbed into your body from Q-Gel versus other CoQ10 products. All the studies we have carried out - be they in the test tube (in-vitro), in small animals (rodents), in dogs, and in humans have shown the CoQ10 in Q-Gel to be the most bioavailable without exception.”

“What makes Q-Gel so powerful is the fact that we have simply made the CoQ10 particles very small (sub micron size) so that they seem to go into solution in water. The large surface area afforded by the smaller particle size facilitates much greater absorption in the gut.” (G.I Tract).

Tishcon’s senior scientist uses the word “simply” in his explanation but making CoQ10 hydrosoluble was anything but a “simple” procedure. It is a patented process called the Bio-Solv® process which has provided the key to the solubilization of CoQ1O.

Q-Gel® CoQ10, based on the Bio-Solv® process, exhibits complete dissolution, which is indicative of improved absorption/bioavailability. It was a remarkable accomplishment to reduce the particle size of CoQ10 to a sub-micron size – even more remarkable was to do it without affecting the delicate molecular structure of the CoQ10!

All of our Q-Gel® CoQ10 is produced via the fermentation process using 100% food source ingredients. All CoQ10 is obtained either by 100% fermentation 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!).
