Description
What is ubiquinol?
Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that occurs naturally in the human body, particularly in cell membranes and mitochondria.
It occurs mainly in two forms:
- Ubiquinone, the oxidized form;
- Ubiquinol, the reduced form.
Q10-Top contains ubiquinol, one of the physiological forms in which Coenzyme Q10 occurs in the body.
From a biochemical perspective, Coenzyme Q10 is involved in the electron transport chain, which plays an important role in the production of ATP in the mitochondria. With increasing age, the concentration of Coenzyme Q10 in the body can change. Diet, lifestyle, and individual factors can also influence Q10 levels.
What is astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid belonging to the xanthophyll group. It is characterized by its intense red-orange color and occurs naturally in various aquatic organisms.
The astaxanthin in Q10-Top is derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, one of the most important natural sources of this carotenoid.
The extract used is standardized to an astaxanthin content of 5%. This ensures a defined and consistent concentration. One Q10-Top capsule provides 5 mg of astaxanthin.
How is Q10-Top composed?
Q10-Top combines ubiquinol and astaxanthin in a single capsule. The two fat-soluble substances differ in their origin and properties and are the subject of nutritional research.
The recommended daily dose provides:
- 50 mg of Coenzyme Q10 in the form of ubiquinol;
- 5 mg of natural astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.
Why combine ubiquinol and astaxanthin?
Ubiquinol and astaxanthin are two distinct fat-soluble substances that are scientifically studied in connection with cellular processes.
Q10-Top combines both substances in a clearly structured formula. This means just one plant-based capsule per day is enough.
Who is Q10-Top for?
Q10-Top is intended for adults who:
- want to supplement their diet with Coenzyme Q10 (in the form of ubiquinol) and astaxanthin;
- prefer Coenzyme Q10 in its reduced form as ubiquinol;
- are looking for astaxanthin from a clearly identified natural source;
- want to combine both ingredients in a single formula;
- pay closer attention to their diet as they get older;
- have an intense and demanding daily routine;
- prefer a simple and practical way to take supplements.

Coenzyme Q10 in scientific research
Coenzyme Q10 is the subject of numerous scientific studies on cellular metabolism and various metabolic parameters.
A meta-analysis of 50 randomized clinical trials involving a total of 2,794 participants examined the relationship between Coenzyme Q10 supplementation and lipid profile in adults. On average, statistically significant changes were observed in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride values.
In another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the daily intake of 120 mg of Coenzyme Q10 was examined in 101 adults with dyslipidemia over a period of 24 weeks. Changes in certain functional properties of HDL cholesterol were observed.
The available studies examined different dosages, formulations, and population groups. The results describe some of the current areas of research on Coenzyme Q10, but do not demonstrate any specific effects of the Q10-Top formulation and must not be understood as therapeutic claims.
