Zenith Nutrition Coenzyme Q10 Plus Review – The Bottom Line
This CoQ10 dietary supplement claims to do what most other, similar, CoQ10 health products claim to do. Where this dietary product does stand solid is that one bottle will last for two months; each bottle containing 60 capsules and only one capsule to be taken daily. Additionally, this health product is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. The weaknesses include the lack of a guarantee to protect the consumer; the amount of CoQ10 of 100 mg is low compared with other, similar products, and there is a lack of discounts. This product under review seems expensive compared with similar products. Lastly, this product contains chemical preservatives. No indication is given of amount of preservatives included. A complication is that this product is made in India − permitted amount of preservatives does differ from country to country. Lastly, even though the manufacturer of this supplement does not indicate any side effects the ingredient dicalcium phosphate could be problematic: it is a possible to overdose on this, leading to kidney stones, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches or coma. Therefore, it might be better to opt for something better.
