One of the contradictions that led to tocotrienol research is that palm oil, although it has a 50 percent saturated and 50 percent unsaturated fatty acid content, does not raise serum cholesterol, and even lowers it. Research shows that tocotrienols are responsible for this contradiction. Like vitamin E, tocotrienols are proving to have health benefits. This is an important point, as coenzyme Q10 is fat-soluble, which means that it requires fat to be absorbed by the digestive tract. Dr. Karl Folkers, the doctor responsible for much of the research on coenzyme Q10, has recommended that coenzyme Q10 be dissolved in oil.
Fish oil has health benefits.
Epidemiological studies have shown that in populations where large amounts of fish are consumed, there is little evidence of heart disease. Although the inclusion of the fish oil diluent helps improve absorption of the coenzyme Q10, it is still recommended that you take the capsules with meals. Shelf life is 3 years, unopened.
