PureSorb-Q™-5-NF

Product overview

Nisshin Seifun Group has a long history of research into the abundant vitamins present in wheat germ. The structural similarities between coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K provided the impetus for research and development leading to the successful industrial production of coenzyme Q10, a world first. Subsequent research and development led to the Aqua Q10 series, in which coenzyme Q10, which is not water-soluble by nature, is dispersed in water. This series can be used in a range of applications.
PureSorb-Q™-5-NF is a water-dispersible powder containing approximately 5% coenzyme Q10.

Overview of ingredients

Coenzyme Q10 (compound name: ubiquinone) was first discovered in bovine heart, and it is abundant in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas in humans. Coenzyme Q10 can be synthesized in the body, and it is an essential component that mediates electron transfer in the process of ATP manufacture within the mitochondria. Since coenzyme Q10 has a structure that allows electron transfer, there are both oxidized and reduced forms. Scientific studies have shown that the amount of coenzyme Q10 in the body decreases with age, and that it also suppresses the oxidation of vitamin E in the body.

Characteristics of product

Water dispersible powder containing 5% coenzyme Q10

A water-dispersible powder characterized by quick dispersion in water, which can be blended into drinks, powdered beverages, and jellies. The rapid dispersion also makes it suitable for granule products that melt in the mouth.

Improved absorbability

Coenzyme Q10 crystals have a melting point of approximately 50 ℃, and they are thus solid at room and body temperatures. Coenzyme Q10 cannot be absorbed by the body in its solid form, and it must therefore be dissolved in oil and then dispersed in water. Although it is generally recommended that PureSorb-Q™-5-NF be taken with a meal, some absorption is found even on an empty stomach because PureSorb-Q™-5-NF disperses readily in water.

【Study design】 Crossover study of single intake by 3 subjects
【Dose】 1.2 g of PureSorb-Q™-5-NF (60 mg as coenzyme Q10)
【Intake method】 Fasting: Consumed with water after 12 hours of no food intake.
After meal: Take with water after breakfast.

Excellent flavor

Malic acid in PureSorb-Q™-5-NF gives it a refreshing apple flavor. PureSorb-Q™-5-NF can be packaged simply in its original form or else with added flavorings for productization as a granule, allowing for product development in a short period of time.
