This is why the Original CoQ10 is completely different from the copy products

The first commercial CoQ10 formulation that was introduced by Pharma Nord in the 1980s is now regarded as the official benchmark of quality worldwide. It was the first CoQ10 supplement with documented absorption and soon became the preferred choice for clinical trials. This is why it is often referred to as the Original CoQ10 formulation.

Since its discovery in 1957, the vitamin-like compound coenzyme Q10 – or CoQ10 - has become one of the most sought-after supplements. Consumers around the world have read and heard about this fascinating nutrient and its
essential role in human health.

Why documented absorption is so important

There is one vital detail that often goes unnoticed: a Q10 supplement is not guaranteed to be effective simply because it contains CoQ10. That’s because CoQ10 is not easily absorbed by the body.

Does this mean consumers are wasting their money on products that are not tested for bioavailability?

Not necessarily. However, unless a manufacturer can validate that its COQ10 preparation is effectively absorbed into the bloodstream and able to reach the body’s cells, the actual effect of the product cannot be reliably predicted.

When Pharma Nord introduced Bio-Quinone Q10 to the commercial market in the 1980s, it was the first company in the world to plan clinical trials on a CoQ10
supplement, which marked a genuine milestone. Supplement manufacturers quickly recognized the potential of this natural compound, prompting a wave of new CoQ10 products.

There are currently hundreds, if not thousands, of products on the market but only a few have clinical documentation or can even show that their CoQ10 product is
actually absorbed by the body.

How cheap Q10 products can end up costing more

No matter how inexpensive a CoQ10 product may seem, it will be wasted money if it does not work as intended. Price alone should never be the deciding factor when choosing a supplement. Instead, let scientific documentation guide the choice.

With Bio-Quinone Q10, Pharma Nord has established a standard for quality in CoQ10 supplements. While other products may vary in formulation and absorption, the
pioneering work behind the original Q10 formulation ensures that consumers receive a preparation supported by rigorous scientific documentation.

The big question for you as a consumer is this: Should you risk buying a copy product when you can choose the original, well-documented brand at a reasonable price?  

Many consumers have experienced the frustration of buying what seemed like the cheapest option, only to find it ended up costing them more.

Why it took years of research to prove an effective formulation

Due to the nature of CoQ10 molecules and their strong tendency to clump together in large, non-absorbable “crystals,” the raw material would normally pass through the digestive system without crossing the intestinal membrane and entering the bloodstream. To prevent such waste, CoQ10 requires special handling through a technically demanding manufacturing process. This process is both costly and challenging, but it is essential if the product is to be effective.

This is where Pharma Nord established a strong position right from the beginning - and where the company continues to lead. It took years of dedicated research to provide solid documentation that Bio-Quinone Q10 is efficiently absorbed.

Bio-Quinone Q10 - Pharma Nord’s original and scientifically documented CoQ10 formulation - may be  more expensive than regular copy products. However, the price difference is relatively modest. And when the documented absorption and efficacy of the formulation are taken into account, the comparison looks entirely different. In other words, it pays off to choose the more expensive brand.

The award-winning research behind coenzyme Q10

Researchers from all over the world have been involved in mapping out the biological roles of CoQ10. Several of them have even played a role in the development of Bio-Quinone Q10.
