NCT ID NCT07530250
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study compares two different coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements to see which one is absorbed better into the blood. About 24 healthy adults will take each supplement on separate days, and their blood will be tested over 24 hours. The goal is to find out if a new formula leads to higher CoQ10 levels than the standard version.

Individual has unstable use (defined as initiation or change in dose, agent, or regimen) of statin therapy within 3 months of visit 1. 9. Individual uses medications or dietary supplements known to interfere with CoQ10 metabolism within 14 days prior to screening/baseline (visit 1) and throughout the study period, including, but not limited to, lipid-lowering (stable dose of statin therapy is allowed), anti-hypertensive, hypoglycemic, anti-coagulant, and psychotherapeutic therapies. For all other medications, individual must be on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to visit 1. 10.
