Abstract
The present invention pertains to the beneficial fusibility of ubiquinone (CoQ10) into digestible carrier fats that are solid at room temperature. By melting the CoQ10 into a properly chosen digestible carrier fat(s), recrystallization and phase separation issues are solved and a substrate is supplied for improved action upon CoQ10 by bile acids and lipases. The art taught here allows for the production of CoQ10 products with superior bioavailability, better stability and shelf life, and utilization via tablets, capsules and other dry delivery modalities, either as a single ingredient or as part of complex formulations. This art also can be used to improve CoQ10 inclusion in a variety of soft gelatin capsule formulations.
Claims8
A composition for facilitating the delivery of coenzyme Q10 wherein said composition comprises:
- (i) a first component consisting of coenzyme Q10 in a pharmaceutically acceptable form and
- (ii) a second component consisting of a fusible carrier material wherein said composition is comprised of said first component and said second component in a ratio sufficient to prevent phase separation and the recrystallization of the coenzyme Q10.
