The main active ingredient in this product is CoQ10 which provides support in cardiovascular health and also acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin E is also acts as an antioxidant to prevent the body against cellular damage from free radicals. The product is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, or shellfish ingredients, however it is produced in a facility that contains these allergens. The product lacks BioPerine which is needed to improve absorption and bioavailability of the main active ingredient. Without this ingredient, the product may be ineffective.

The time of day is not specified and may render the product ineffective if taken incorrectly. Furthermore, the minimum effective dosage is 250 mg, whereas this product only provides 100 mg.

NOW CoQ10 can be purchased from the manufacturer’s website in various quantities. A bottle of 50 softgels will cost you $21.99 and a bottle of 150 softgels will cost you $55.99. If one is taking 2 softgels a day then a bottle of 50 softgels will not last you a month. The manufacturer does not offer the clients a discount or bulk packages to purchase.
Guarantee
After studying the manufacturer’s website and the label on the product we were unable to find a money-back guarantee. This is very unfortunate as first time users will not be able to use the product risk free. It is better to choose a product that provides a strong money-back guarantee.
Conclusion of Our NOW CoQ10 Review
After studying NOW CoQ10 we can see a few positive things about the product. It comes in easy to swallow softgels and it can be purchased in a various quantities.
Nonetheless, there are many more negative aspects that need to be looked at. Firstly, it lacks the presence of an essential ingredient, namely BioPerine. This is important as it helps with faster bioavailability and absorption. Furthermore, the product contains too little concentration for it to be effective. Lastly, the manufacturer does not offer their customers with a money-back guarantee. In conclusion, we do not believe that this product is effective and would recommend choosing an alternative product to NOW CoQ10.
