Claim 8:
9. A method for making an aerosol formulation containing a desired amount of CoQ10, the method comprising:
dissolving CoQ10 in an oil to create an oil phase;
adding at least one aerosolizable non-ionic surfactant to the oil phase;
adding water to the oil phase to create a first emulsion;
adding at least one tonicity agent to make the first emulsion isotonic, the first emulsion comprising droplets of CoQ10 having a first average size;
freeze drying the first emulsion; and
rehydrating the freeze-dried first emulsion with water to make an aerosolizable isotonic second emulsion, the second emulsion comprising droplets of CoQ10 having a second average droplet size that is less than the first average droplet size.
