Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ) is a natural antioxidant compound that prevents the vascular damage induced by free radicals and the activation of inflammatory signaling pathways. Supplementation with CoQ 10 is safe though its bioavailability is generally low, as far as variable depending on the pharmaceutical form of preparation. Recently, the development of phytosome technology has improved the bioavailability of CoQ 10 and definitely facilitated its effective use in clinical practice. The present double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical study aimed to investigate the effect on endothelial reactivity and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of either acute and chronic supplementation with CoQ 10 phytosome in a sample of 20 healthy young nonsmoking subjects. CoQ 10 phytosome supplementation acutely improved endothelial reactivity in comparison with baseline and placebo (+4.7% ± 0.9% vs. -0.1 %± 0.3% p < 0.05). Middle-term supplementation of the tested pharmaceutical formulation of CoQ 10 significantly improved mean arterial pressure (-2.2 ± 1.1 mmHg vs. 0.2 ± 0.7 mmHg, p < 0.05 vs. placebo) and TAC (+29.6% ± 3.2% vs. +1.9% ± 0.8%, p < 0.05 vs. placebo). Endothelial reactivity improved compared with baseline following middle-term dietary supplementation with CoQ 10 phytosome (+5.7% ± 1.1%, p < 0.05).
