🥉Solgar Megasorb CoQ-10

Best for those starting CoQ-10 or with sensitive digestion—especially if switching from synthetic blends.

~$0.54 per 200mg capsule

PROS:
  • Enhanced Absorption Format: It’s delivered in an oil-based softgel, which improves bioavailability of ubiquinone—a key factor since CoQ10 is fat-soluble and absorption can vary widely.
  • Uses KanekaQ10®: This is a premium, clinically studied form of CoQ10 sourced from yeast fermentation (not tobacco), known for purity and consistency.
  • Clean Label Standards: Solgar’s formulation is gluten-free, dairy-free, and free from artificial flavors or sweeteners—ideal for fertility-safe protocols and sensitive systems.
CONS:
  • Ubiquinone Form: While Solgar markets it with enhanced absorption, it is still in Ubiquinone (oxidized) form and is not readily absorbed by our bodies.
  • Cost: Higher cost per mg, but justified for those prioritizing purity and GI comfort.
Note that only the 200mg dosage is eligible for free shipping to the Philippines as of writing.
