Review
Summary |
 CoQ10, by Olympian Labs, is a dietary supplement said to contain a micronutrient that is vital to all human life. The company claims that this product may enhance overall health by boosting the strength of the immune system, increasing energy levels and by protecting the heart and blood vessels. The main ingredient in this supplement may also be found in many cholesterol supplements.
For the purpose of this review, we will examine if CoQ10 may be a viable natural method to support healthy cholesterol levels.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
According to the company website, this product contains just one active ingredient, CoQ10, which is also known as Coenzymes and Lecithin. There are also several filler ingredients, including Extra Virgin Olive Oil, all of which are listed online for consumer review.
We appreciate that this manufacturer attempts to make a natural formula to address the issue of cholesterol without the inclusion of stimulants or other jolting ingredients. We feel that natural is best, but that it takes the right formula to truly find a solution or remedy.
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
|
The main ingredient in this formula is best described as small organic molecules that carry chemical groups between enzymes. This substance is already naturally produced by the body, and said to be needed for the basic function of cells. There are many rumors surrounding CoQ10 supplementation, and many health professionals do not feel that it is beneficial. In fact, there is currently unclear scientific use for CoQ10, and many of its purported benefits are based on hype and not proof. Those who wish to research other options may prefer to look into a product that contains Plant Sterols.

| Website |
|
As of this writing, there is no product website for this supplement, but it is featured on the Olympian Labs company site. We appreciate that the manufacturer provides a complete ingredient list and detailed product description. Though, we feel that the website would be enhanced if there were also a section for testimonials. Consumer reviews allow potential users to see how the supplement has worked for other people, and provides a different viewpoint than of the manufacturer, who is attempting to make money.
Furthermore, there is no checkout function available on the company site at this time. This means that those interested in this supplement will always be forced to purchase from a third-party retailer, and the product may not always come with a money-back guarantee.
|
| Positives |
|
• Formula is basic and free of stimulants
• May be found at reduced prices
|
| Negatives |
|
• Cannot purchase the supplement directly from the manufacturer
• No product website at this time
• Does not contain Plant Sterols
• Does not appear to come with a company backed money guarantee
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
In the end, we find this supplement contains a popular ingredient that some people may be interested in trying. Unfortunately, based on current research, it appears that the benefits of this ingredient are merely based on hype and not actual proof. However, those who would like to try Olympian Lab’s CoQ10 may purchase it from various online stores for about $27 per bottle.
Again, there are other products on the market when it comes to cholesterol reduction. We suggest looking for a supplement that contains a proven ingredient that has been FDA-approved.
