 The huge demand for coenzyme Q10 over the last few years has inflated “raw product” prices to record highs. CoQ10 currently sells for around $4,000 per kg on the spot market, (compared to less than $800 per kg as little as 2 or 3 years ago), and looks set to climb higher as manufacturers fail to meet surging demand. High demand, high prices and low supply have all helped increase the incentive for the manufacture of fraudulent CoQ10 products.
Kaneka Corporation in Osaka, Japan is the world’s largest manufacturer of CoQ10. According to Kaneka, market traders have provided forged Certificates of Authenticity purporting to have been signed by Kaneka’s quality assurance manager. Yet in some cases, the contents of CoQ10 are adulterated and contain very low amounts or no CoQ10 in them at all.
Should you be concerned? The answer is “Yes” if you are buying your CoQ10 on the “open market” and “No” if you are getting Q-Gel CoQ10.
Here’s why: Kaneka supplies its product directly to end-users for use in branded products like Q-Gel® and does not use any distributors or traders. Tishcon Corp. of Westbury, NY and Salisbury, MD, (the manufacturer of the Q-Gel® CoQ10 that we sell), utilizes Kaneka Q10 exclusively in ALL Q-Gel products and gets ALL its CoQ10 directly from Kaneka Corporation. Tishcon Corp. does NOT use any distributors or traders to acquire the CoQ10 used in Q-Gel.
More importantly, the CoQ10 from Kaneka Corporation is a 100% natural (trans-isomer) yeast fermented CoQ10 which is identical to the body’s own CoQ10. Tishcon utilizes Kaneka Q10 and treats it via the BioSolv patented process to render the insoluble CoQ10 powder readily soluble and highly bioavailable. This combination of Kaneka’s 100% natural CoQ10 and Tishcon’s science makes Q-Gel the most powerful CoQ10 available.
