Today we review Nature’s Bounty Co Q-10. CoQ10 is an enzyme that has been proven, in the right doses, to help improve the cardiovascular system. This supplement claims to support your heart health and improve your life.
What’s in Nature’s Bounty Co Q-10?
The only main ingredient in this specific supplement is 400 mg of CoQ10 per capsule. From our research, the clinically recommended amount of CoQ10 is only 250 mg, and doctors have found that more than this amount could actually be dangerous. Each capsule has a lot more than the daily recommendation, which is concerning. Studies have also shown that this enzyme should be taken with BioPerine, which will help your body correctly absorb the nutrient, and this product lacks any BioPerine.
How Do You Use Nature’s Bounty Co Q-10?
The manufacturer recommended dose is one softgel per day. The pill should be taken with a meal. Like stated before, with only one capsule, you are going quite a bit over the daily suggested dose that is proven effective. Taking so much CoQ10 could be dangerous for your health. The manufacturer also warns that this supplement is not a replacement for statin medications, and you should consult your healthcare professional before stopping any prescribed medicines or starting any dietary supplements.
The Cost
Unfortunately, this supplement is not available for purchase direct from the manufacturer. Each bottle contains 39 capsules, which will last just longer than a month. We did find this supplement available from retailers for prices ranging from $18.34 all the way to $47.99.Should you decide to purchase this product, it will be important to do your own research to try and find the best price.
Is There a Guarantee?
Because the manufacturer does not sell this supplement directly to its customers, they also do not have a guarantee or refund policy for its products. Should you decide to try this product and find yourself unsatisfied, you will be at the mercy of the third party seller’s refund policy. This will make it more difficult to return your product. It also shows that the manufacturer may not stand behind its products as much as other supplement providers.
The Conclusion of Our Nature’s Bounty Co Q-10 Review
Nature’s Bounty Co Q-10 did have some positive aspects. The only main ingredient was CoQ10, which is what its website states. Also, if you buy from the correct third party seller, you can find this supplement for less than some of the competitors.
Unfortunately, there are many things that concerned us about these softgels. First off, the dose of CoQ10 is extremely high, and clinical studies have shown that this amount may actually cause harm to the body. There is also no BioPerine to help the nutrients absorb into your system. Lastly, because the manufacture does not sell its products to customers, they offer no guarantee for any of its products. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement to help you improve your heart health and support your cardiovascular system.
