Microcapsules containing Coenzyme Q10 in oil

Dry microcapsules obtained by coacervation, containing Coenzyme Q10 dispersed in oil, specifically formulated to protect the active ingredient from direct oxidizing agents and facilitate the delivery of the active component CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) in the intestine, increasing its therapeutic efficacy. The microcapsules can be added to solid oral formulations, also in association with other active ingredients, such as hard capsules or single-dose, dispersible or orodispersible sachets, keeping the antioxidant characteristics of the molecule unaltered.

Coenzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone, is essential for the proper functioning of many organs and for carrying out numerous chemical reactions that take place in our body. It acts as an antioxidant and is essential for the proper functioning of mitochondria, intracellular organelles that act as the energy powerhouses of our cells. Its levels tend to decrease significantly with age or following drug therapies or in the presence of chronic diseases. Its supplementation using microencapsulated supplements, which preserve its benefits unaltered, can be useful for all individuals over 35 years of age.
