Conclusion – Lumen Naturals CoQ10
There were several things we liked about Lumen Naturals CoQ10. We liked that the capsules and contents were 100% vegetarian. We liked that the company offers a 60 day money back guarantee even for opened bottles of capsules for a refund. On the negative side, we felt like the dose of 2 x 200mg per day is above and beyond what is beneficial to the body. Many supplements limit the daily dosage to 250mg so we are concerned that this amount here of 400mg per day is too high. We were also disappointed to see that Bioperine is missing from the ingredients in this supplement. Bioperine is considered to be a crucial ingredient that enhances the absorption of CoQ10. If lacking it might mean that this supplement is not as effective as other brands that include it in their supplement’s ingredients. We found a mixed bag of reviews with some very shortly worded positive comments but also very many negative comments too. Although the website claims you will see results in as few as 7 days, these claims are hard to measure and highly subjective. It is also very unclear how long you should take the supplements for to see long term improvements. For these reasons we are unable to recommend Lumen Naturals CoQ10 at this time.
