Abstract
The present invention is directed to compositions and methods of delivery of CoQ-10 solubilized in monoterpenes. Use of monoterpenes as dissolving agents, greatly effects the ability to incorporate greater amounts of bioactive CoQ-10 in formulations, such as soft gel capsules.
Claims33
A soft gelatin capsule comprising:
- coenzyme Q-10 and a sufficient quantity of d-limonene suitable to solubilize said coenzyme Q-10 at ambient temperature and form a solution, wherein the amount of coenzyme Q-10 in said solution is about 30% up to about 60% coenzyme Q-10 by weight, with the proviso that the coenzyme Q-10 solubilized in the d-limonene is not in an emulsion, or suspension.
2-24. (canceled)
The soft gelatin capsule of claim 2, wherein the said coenzyme Q-10 is semi-reduced coenzyme Q-10.
The soft gelatin capsule of claim 2, wherein the said coenzyme Q-10 is oxidized coenzyme Q-10.
The soft gelatin capsule of claim 2, wherein the said coenzyme Q-10 is reduced coenzyme Q-10.
A soft gelatin capsule comprising:
- reduced coenzyme Q-10 and a sufficient quantity of d-limonene suitable to solubilize said coenzyme Q-10 at ambient temperature and form a solution, wherein the amount of coenzyme Q-10 in said solution is about 60% coenzyme Q-10 by weight, with the proviso that the coenzyme Q-10 solubilized in the d-limonene is not in an emulsion, or suspension.
