Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega + CoQ10 combines concentrated fish oil, rich in EPA and DHA, with coenzyme Q10 in a single soft gel. EPA and DHA are the two omega-3 fatty acids with the strongest evidence base: they contribute to the normal function of the heart, and DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.
CoQ10 is a compound the body produces naturally and uses in cellular energy production; levels decline with age and with statin use, which is part of why the pairing is popular. Vitamin E is included to help protect the oils from oxidation.
The fish oil comes from sustainably sourced, wild-caught fish, and the soft gels are formulated to avoid the fishy aftertaste that puts many people off omega-3 supplements.
Who it suits: anyone who wants a high-strength omega-3 with CoQ10 built in rather than as a second bottle, particularly people over 40 or anyone taking a statin. Anyone on blood-thinning medication should check with a clinician before starting a high-strength fish oil.
