Bio-Quinone Q10 100 mg has been approved as a non-marketed speciality by the Danish Medicines Agency. It is a prescription drug that physicians may use after approval of the Medicines Agency. In different countries the registration category vary according to local policies.

The active substance in Bio-Quinone Q10 100 mg is coenzyme Q10, of which there are 100 mg in each capsule. Coenzyme Q10 is one of several related natural substances called ubiquinones and is found in the human organism and most other mammals.

Ubiquinones are substances with vitamin-like properties. They have important biological functions NETQUOTEVAR:1, and they are found in all living cells in animals and plants. The human organism synthesizes a limited quantity of the specifically human ubiquinone, coenzyme Q10, itself; additional coenzyme Q10 is consumed as part of the diet. Coenzyme Q10 plays a central role in the cells during the production of energy. Furthermore, it functions as an antioxidant in the body`s lipid phase in much the same manner as vitamin E and various carotenoids. Finally, coenzyme Q10 possesses membrane-stabilizing properties. Coenzyme Q10 is also known as ubidecarenone, and coenzyme Q10 is often referred to as ubiquinone or "Q10".

Enhancement of the diet with Q10 supplements in the form of Bio-Quinone increases the Q10 concentration in the body effectively without affecting the cells` own ability to synthesize the substance NETQUOTEVAR:2; however, it should be noted that there can be considerable variability in the quantity of Q10, that can be absorbed from the different commercial formulations of Q10, that are available for purchase. Coenzyme Q10 dissolved in soya-bean oil in a soft gelatine capsule is a thoroughly tested and effective formulation NETQUOTEVAR:3. The careful mixing of the various vegetable oils seems to play an important role in the bio availability of the Q10. The absorption of coenzyme Q10 from the special formulation that is designated Bio-Quinone Q10 100 mg has been thoroughly investigated. Bio-Quinone Q10 has been shown to give the best absorption in a comparative test of four different formulations of Q10-preparations
