Review
Summary |
As dietary supplements gain in popularity, manufacturers have created more and more ways for consumers to get their recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals without having to swallow large tablets. Chewable vitamins for adults are increasingly available, as are gels and liquids.
Although this product is a liquid, it is not a typical multivitamin product. Rather than providing a full range of vitamins and minerals, this product focuses largely on boosting the body’s antioxidant levels. Of course, there are a number of products currently on the market that also claim to contain antioxidants, making it difficult to separate the ones that are truly effective from those based on hype. We will carefully examine this product in order to determine whether it truly lives up to its promises.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced by the body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. It is also essential for the health of tissues and organs, and as an enzyme, it also facilitates countless chemical reactions. CoQ10 plays a particularly important role in energy production by helping to produce ATP.
Because of its ability to act as an antioxidant, CoQ10 has been used in the treatment of heart disease and certain cancers. Like all antioxidants, it helps to protect the body from free radical damage, and keeps us looking and feeling healthy into old age.

According to the manufacturer, this product has the ability to infuse drinkers with “life enhancing energy” as well as antioxidant protection. It is likely to appeal to those who are interested in boosting their energy levels, but are apprehensive about trying other “energy drinks,” which tend to be packed with caffeine. It may also appeal to those who are interested in increasing their antioxidants, but do not like drinking green tea or yerba mate. Of course, consumers should be aware that there are multiple sources of antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, C, and a number of fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
Regardless of the source of antioxidants, it is important to consider the rate of absorption before purchasing any dietary supplement. In order to get the most for their money, we strongly recommend that consumers look for a product that contains an advanced absorption enhancer, such as 2-AEP.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Although COQ10 Liquid Tropical Fruit is certainly a novel way of getting antioxidants, unfortunately it does not eliminate the need for a good multivitamin. In order to be sure that they are getting the most complete coverage, consumers may want to consider a product that consists of several different pills, packaged together in single-serving doses. This makes getting a full day’s vitamins and minerals incredibly convenient. As previously discussed, it is also important to look for a product containing a specially designed absorption enhancer.
