Pharmanord Bioactive Q10 30mg 2 Months (60 caps)
Out of stock!
CoQ10 boosts energy in your cells, strengthens heart function and replaces what statins drain, often behind ongoing fatigue.
If clinical evidence matters to you, this is the most researched CoQ10 supplement in the world. It is backed by over 90 published scientific studies and was the exact formulation used in the landmark Q-SYMBIO heart failure trial.
Pharma Nord's patented Myoquinone delivery system has been independently shown to deliver two to ten times better absorption than competing products.
What is CoQ-10
This is found in every cell in your body, with the highest concentrations in your heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles.
It serves two essential functions: helping your mitochondria produce ATP (your cells' energy source) and acting as an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage.
Your body produces less CoQ10 with age, particularly after 40, and this decline is associated with reduced energy, cardiovascular changes, and slower cellular repair.
Myoquinone & Absorption
Most Co-Enzyme Q-10 supplements dissolve poorly in the gut because these molecules tend to clump together.
Pharma Nord developed a patented process that dissolves it in a unique blend of pharmaceutical-grade oils with different melting points. At body temperature, the Co-Enzyme Q-10 molecules remain individually dispersed rather than clumping, which allows them to form micelles in the intestine and be absorbed efficiently.
In a randomised controlled study, Pharma Nord's formulation showed double the absorption of the next-best product tested, and three to ten times better absorption than five other formulations.
This is why Pharma Nord's CoQ-10 has been selected as the official reference standard by the International Coenzyme Q10 Association (ICQA).
Pharma Nord BioActive Q10 for Heart
The Q-SYMBIO trial is the most important clinical study ever conducted on this supplement. It followed 420 heart failure patients over two years using Pharma Nord's exact formulation. The results showed a 43% reduction in cardiovascular death compared to placebo, along with significantly fewer hospital admissions and major adverse cardiovascular events.
No other Co-Enzyme Q-10 supplement can point to this level of evidence on its own formulation.
BioActive Q-10 for Statin Users
Statins lower cholesterol by blocking the mevalonate pathway, which also produces Co-Enzyme Q-10.
This depletion is associated with the muscle pain, weakness, and fatigue that many statin users experience. Supplementation of this compound is widely recommended to help people on statin therapy.
At 30mg per capsule, you can take one to three capsules daily to find the dose that works for you.
BioActive Q10 for Energy & Tiredness
The formula includes Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) with Co-Enzyme Q-10.
Vitamin B2 contributes to normal energy-giving metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Combined with Q-10's role in mitochondrial ATP production, this provides an energy boost at both the metabolic and cellular levels.
Who is BioActive Q10 for
This product is really suited to people who want the most clinically documented CoQ-10 available, statin users, anyone focused on heart health, and those looking for a reliable lower-dose CoQ-10 that can be adjusted upwards as needed.
It uses bovine gelatine softgels, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Pharma Nord offers a plant-based version (Q10 Phyto) for those who need an alternative. The product is gluten-free and dairy-free.
Co-Enzyme Q-10 Research
Beyond the established evidence for heart health, energy, and statin support, CoQ-10 is being studied for longevity, brain health, and metabolic health. The KiSel-10 trial showed reduced cardiovascular mortality when CoQ10 was combined with selenium in elderly participants, with benefits persisting at 12-year follow-up. Early research into neuroprotection and blood sugar regulation is ongoing, though large human trials have not yet confirmed these uses.
Clinical Evidence
· Q-SYMBIO trial: 420 patients, 2 years, 43% reduction in cardiovascular death
· Absorption study: 2-10x better absorption than six competing formulations
· 90+ published scientific studies on this specific formulation
· Selected as official reference standard by the International Coenzyme Q-10 Association
· KiSel-10: CoQ-10 + selenium reduced cardiovascular mortality at 12-year follow-up
Take one to three capsules daily with a meal containing some
fat. The oil-based softgel already contains the lipid matrix needed for
absorption, but food further improves uptake. If taking more than one capsule,
spacing them apart during the day may improve absorption. Take it earlier in the
day rather than in the evening.
· General maintenance: 1 capsule (30mg) daily
· Moderate dose: 2 capsules (60mg) daily
· Statin supplement: 2-3 capsules (60-90mg) daily
· For higher therapeutic doses (100mg+), consider Pharma Nord's BioActive Q-10 Gold 100mg
Supplements to Take with BioActive Q10
· Omega-3 fatty acids: complement cardiovascular health and aid Co-Enzyme Q-10 absorption
· Selenium: the KiSel-10 trial showed significant cardiovascular benefits when combined with CoQ10. Pharma Nord also makes Bio-Selenium + Zinc for easy pairing
· Magnesium: improves ATP production and heart muscle function with Co-Enzyme Q-10
· Vitamin E: a complementary fat-soluble antioxidant
· NAD+ precursors (NMN or Nicotinamide Riboside): work at the stage before CoQ10 in the mitochondrial energy chain, helping the full ATP production pathway. Early research suggests complementary benefits for cardiovascular health and cellular ageing
Drug Interactions: BioActive Q10
· Warfarin and blood thinners: It may reduce warfarin effectiveness due to structural similarity to Vitamin K. Always consult your pharmacist or GP
· Blood pressure medication: It may mildly lower blood pressure
· Diabetes medication: It may affect blood sugar levels. Monitor if on medication
· Chemotherapy: consult your oncologist before use
How Long for Co-Enzyme Q-10 to Work
- Energy improvements are typically noticed within two to four weeks.
- Cardiovascular and other benefits develop over eight to twelve weeks.
The Q-SYMBIO trial measured outcomes at 16 weeks and again at two years, with the most significant results at the two-year mark, highlighting the importance of long-term consistent use.
FAQs: Co-Q-10
Is this the same CoQ10 used in the Q-SYMBIO trial?
Yes, Pharma Nord's BioActive Q10 with the Myoquinone formulation is the exact product used in the trial.
What is the difference between the 30-capsule and 60-capsule pack?
No. They are identical. The 60-capsule pack provides two months' supply and represents a better value per capsule.
Is Co-Enzyme Q-10 suitable for vegans?
No, the standard BioActive Q10 uses bovine gelatine softgels. Pharma Nord offers Q10 Phyto as a vegan alternative with identical CoQ10 inside.
Can I take Co-Enzyme Q-10 with my statin?
Yes, it is recommended for statin users. Speak to your pharmacist about the right dose.
Why is Pharma Nord CoQ10 better absorbed?
Their patented Myoquinone process dissolves CoQ10 molecules individually in pharmaceutical-grade oils, preventing the clumping that limits absorption in other products.
Can I buy this over the counter in Ireland?
Yes, it is widely available in Irish pharmacies without a prescription and can be purchased online at dPharmacy.ie
