Ask Dr. Mike
Question (follow-up to "What is Q10, how does it work, and what is appropriate dosage?"):
What time of day is better to take COQ10? I always get that question. And the why it's better to take at a certain time of day?

Answer:
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter the time of day. What’s more important is to take it with food for better absorption. With that said, I’ve seen improvements in CoQ10 blood levels whether taken once a day or in divided doses.
