It is also intended to provide protection from free radical damage, maintain healthy gums and restores energy. The manufacturer claims that this product is made from the highest grade of coenzyme that is blended in rice bran oil to allow absorption.

Conclusion of Our Natural Factors Coenzyme Review
Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10 has a possibility of being good for cardiovascular health. Coenzyme has been scientifically proven to be effective for the body’s vital organs, such as the health, kidney, liver, et cetera. However, we are not confident that this particular product will work for you because of some negative qualities that it has. 30 mg and 50mg CoQ10 is very low and might not be effective enough to benefit a customer. Therefore, we do not see it necessary, especially considering that the product is also available in 100mg, and 200mg. We also found it worrying that the recommended dosage for a 30 mg is similar to the recommended dosage of 100mg. There is no indication as to who should take which milligrams, which means that some people might be taking too little while some might be overdosing. Lastly, we could not find any information on money-back guarantee. This could mean many things, but the most obvious one is that if you buy this product and don’t see the benefits, you cannot return it to the manufacturer for a refund because it is not supported. This also shows that the manufacturer has little or no confidence on the effectiveness of the product. We recommend that you look for another product, as this lacks the important qualities.
