Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) 200 mg by Source Naturals . Coenzyme Q10 (Coq10) is essential to human life. It plays a role in the electron transport chain, one of the body's energy-producing cycles that converts food into energy. Research indicates that supplementation with CoQ10 may support normal heart function and provide antioxidant protection and maintain the health of the gums.
Due to the limited supply and increasing demand worldwide, especially in Japan, CoQ 10 prices have gone up during the past year. There are only 3 manufacturers of CoQ 10, all of which are based in Japan. The largest one is in the process of adding production capability in Japan, and also in Pasadena, Texas, hopefully by the end of 2005, and early 2006. Until then, the prices will be unstable, with an upward trend. The wholesale market price for pure CoQ 10 used to be around 0-900 per kilogram. It now runs between 2 and 4 thousand dollars a kilogram. As a result, many of the brand names we represent have been forced to raise their prices.
