Curated, not stocked.
Thorne is one of a short list of supplement brands our doctors are comfortable recommending by name, based on the brand's longstanding manufacturing standards and formulation transparency. CoQ10 earned its place in our range specifically for patients on statin therapy and those with age-related energy concerns — two scenarios where the evidence for supplementation is more than theoretical. We stock the ubiquinone form, which carries the broadest research base.
About this product
CoQ10
Thorne CoQ10 is a daily supplement providing coenzyme Q10, a lipid-soluble antioxidant found in virtually every cell of the body. CoQ10 plays a central role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain — the process by which cells generate ATP, their primary energy currency. Levels decline naturally with age and can be further depleted by statin medications, making supplementation relevant for a specific and identifiable group of people.
This supplement suits those with confirmed low CoQ10 status, individuals on long-term statin therapy who experience muscle fatigue or weakness, and anyone in sustained high-output training where mitochondrial demand is elevated. It may also be of interest to those supporting cardiovascular health alongside a clinician-led protocol, as CoQ10 is studied for its role in heart muscle function and blood pressure regulation.
CoQ10 is fat-soluble, so taking it with a meal containing dietary fat improves absorption meaningfully. Thorne is a brand with a long-standing reputation among integrative and functional medicine practitioners for manufacturing standards and formulation rigour. The CoQ10 here is in the ubiquinone form, the most researched form of the compound, at a dose consistent with commonly studied supplementation ranges.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Who is most likely to benefit from CoQ10 supplementation?
People on long-term statin therapy are among the most clearly identified group, as statins inhibit the same pathway the body uses to synthesise CoQ10. Those over 40, individuals with high cardiovascular demand, and people experiencing unexplained fatigue may also find it relevant — ideally confirmed via a blood panel before starting.
What is the difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol?
Ubiquinone is the oxidised form of CoQ10 and is the most extensively studied. Ubiquinol is the reduced, active form and is sometimes marketed as better absorbed, particularly in older adults. The evidence for a meaningful clinical difference is mixed; ubiquinone at an adequate dose with dietary fat remains a well-supported choice.
Is it safe to take CoQ10 alongside statins or blood pressure medication?
CoQ10 is generally considered safe alongside statins and is often taken specifically to offset statin-related depletion. It may have a mild blood-pressure-lowering effect, so if you are already on antihypertensive medication, mention it to your prescribing doctor before starting.
How long before I notice a difference?
Most people who notice a change report it after four to eight weeks of consistent daily use. Effects on fatigue and exercise tolerance tend to be more perceptible than cardiovascular benefits, which are slower to manifest and harder to attribute without baseline measurements.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, meaning it is absorbed significantly better when taken alongside a meal that contains some dietary fat. Taking it on an empty stomach reduces absorption and reduces the value of the supplement.
