CoQ10 & Ubiquinol — South Africa
The mitochondrial energy supplement — your body's own production declines after 40, and it's often suggested alongside statins — ask your doctor. Standard CoQ10 (ubiquinone) and the more bioavailable ubiquinol. Consultant-curated. Free delivery over R400.
Your body's CoQ10 production drops sharply after 40 — and statins deplete it further. Our consultants would put CoQ10 at the top of the supplement stack for anyone over 50 or feeling low on energy — and it's often suggested alongside statins (ask your doctor).
Take it with food (it's fat-soluble), 100–200mg daily for everyday maintenance — or follow the label. Ubiquinol is the more bioavailable form — worth the premium if you can afford it.
Common questions
Ubiquinone vs ubiquinol — which is better?
Ubiquinol is the reduced (active) form and more bioavailable, especially over 40. Ubiquinone is the cheaper standard form your body converts to ubiquinol — fine for younger adults. If you're 50+ or on a statin, ubiquinol is worth the premium.
How much CoQ10 should I take?
For maintenance: 100–200mg daily with food. For statin users or fatigue: 200–300mg.
On a statin? Do I really need CoQ10?
Statins can lower CoQ10 levels, and many people take CoQ10 alongside a statin. Ubiquinol 100–200mg daily is the common suggestion — ask your doctor or pharmacist first.
How long until I feel CoQ10 working?
2–3 weeks for energy changes. 6–8 weeks for muscle aches to ease. Cardiovascular benefit is long-term and shows in markers, not feel. Be patient.

From the counter
The cellular spark plug
CoQ10 lives in every cell's power stations, and levels decline with age — which is why the over-40s and anyone on statins (with their doctor's blessing) make up most of this shelf's regulars. We carry absorption-focused formulas like Natroceutics CoQ10 Advanced and Biomax's classic, because CoQ10 is fat-soluble and cheap dry powders mostly pass straight through.
Buying it properly
Look for ubiquinone in an oil-based softgel or a liposomal delivery, take it with your fattiest meal, and give it weeks, not days. It supports normal energy-yielding metabolism; anyone on heart medication should loop their doctor in before adding it — we'll say the same at the counter. Statin questions are our most common CoQ10 conversation; have it with a consultant free on WhatsApp, seven days a week, since 1996.
