Coenzyme Q10 showdown: new formula may boost absorption
NCT ID NCT06736366
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested how well two different coenzyme Q10 supplements are absorbed into the blood after a single dose. Twenty-five healthy adults aged 50-65 took each product in a crossover design. The goal was to see if a new experimental formula (BMT® coenzyme Q10) leads to higher blood levels than a standard product.

- What this could lead to
- If one product is absorbed better, it could point to a more effective way to boost coenzyme Q10 levels in people with deficiency.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study in healthy people, not patients. Results may not apply to those with health conditions or long-term use.
