When CoQ10 is orally administered, it is absorbed through the lymphatic canals and distributed throughout the body. Coenzyme Q10 should be taken with some form of fat, since absorption through the lymphatic canals is greatly enhanced in the presence of dietary fat. It is for this reason that CoQ10 offered by Life Extension is available in rice bran oil softgel capsules. This CoQ10 product contains a full range of tocotrienols extracted from palm oil without the use of solvents. Unlike other sources of tocotrienols, palm oil yields much higher levels of the delta and alpha fractions, while providing the same high level of gamma-tocotrienols.
Studies suggest that, palm oil toco-trienols, are far more effective than tocopherols.
