Abstract

A formulation of Coenzyme Q 10 , beta-carotenes, Vitamin E, and medium chain triglycerides in rice bran oil and an optional thickener, such as bee's wax, is provided in a soft gel capsule so that a maximum of the Coenzyme Q 10 is absorbed by the human body. Generally, about 60 mg of Coenzyme Q 10 is the normal amount provided daily to a healthy sedentary adult.
