Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10, also called ubiquinone or ubidecarenone, is a fat-soluble benzoquinone compound, supplied by Nustras as a yellow to orange crystalline powder for the supplement, functional food and cosmetic industries. Coenzyme Q10 occurs naturally in the mitochondria of most cells and is produced commercially by fermentation.

It is formulated into softgel capsules, tablets, powders and gummies, as well as functional beverages, fortified foods and premixes. Its lipid solubility makes it a common component of oil-based softgel fills and emulsified or water-dispersible powder systems; it is also used in skin-care and cosmetic formulations.

The material is a yellow to orange crystalline powder with a faint characteristic odour. CAS number 303-98-0, molecular formula C59H90O4, molecular weight 863.3. Identity and assay are confirmed by HPLC against a reference standard, with content standardised to specification. Residual solvents, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot’s certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies coenzyme Q10 in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed light-protective packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Coenzyme Q10 is an accepted supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
