HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Natural CoQ10 Heart Formula by CATALO
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Partial disclosure
This softgel contains four active ingredients: flaxseed oil, sodium, nattokinase (NSK-SD), and coenzyme Q10. The product also includes inactive ingredients — gelatin capsule, glycerin, purified water, beeswax, lecithin, natural lycopene, and natural annatto — that serve as binders, thickeners, and colorants.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence for this formula's individual components is mixed. Coenzyme Q10 is likely effective for CoQ10 deficiency itself and possibly effective for congestive heart failure, fibromyalgia, migraines, and diabetic nerve pain.
Flaxseed oil, however, is rated possibly ineffective for high cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, bipolar disorder, and obesity — so it hasn't shown reliable benefit for these conditions. Nattokinase has insufficient evidence to rate its effectiveness for heart disease, atherosclerosis, angina, or chronic fatigue.
Sodium's role here is less about treating disease and more about maintaining basic body function, though the evidence for sodium supplementation in heart conditions is insufficient.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Coenzyme Q10 is generally well tolerated, with gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, diarrhea, or heartburn occurring in less than 1% of users. Flaxseed oil is also generally well tolerated orally, though a small number of people report changes in bowel habits, dry mouth, or indigestion at typical doses.
Nattokinase carries a blood-thinning effect and rare reports of serious bleeding, plus rare allergic reactions in people sensitive to natto. Sodium is safe in normal dietary amounts but problematic in excess — high intake is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and kidney disease.
For pregnancy and breastfeeding: coenzyme Q10's safety during lactation hasn't been well studied (use only with your doctor's advice); nattokinase should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data; flaxseed oil is possibly safe in pregnancy but has limited breastfeeding data; sodium is possibly unsafe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) — nattokinase and flaxseed oil both increase bleeding risk, and there's a reported case of brain hemorrhage with this combination. Also check if you take blood pressure medications, lithium, corticosteroids, or chemotherapy drugs — these all have documented moderate interactions with ingredients in this formula.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product combines ingredients with heart-related claims, but the evidence for benefit is weak or incomplete. More importantly, multiple ingredients interact with common medications — especially blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, and lithium — making it essential to check your exact medications before starting.
If you take any prescription drugs, particularly for blood pressure, blood clotting, or mood disorders, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Flaxseed Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, using flaxseed oil in combination with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding.
Small clinical studies show that consuming flaxseed oil might decrease platelet aggregation and increase bleeding time.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, combining flaxseed oil with other antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical evidence suggests that long-term consumption of flaxseed oil can modestly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure, while other clinical research shows no effect.
Ezetimibe (Zetia)
Concomitant use of flaxseed oil and ezetimibe reduces the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid from flaxseed oil.
In one clinical study, concomitant consumption of ezetimibe 10 mg daily with flaxseed oil 2 grams providing 1 gram of alpha-linolenic acid daily blocked the absorption of alpha-linolenic acid, resulting in an overall reduction in alpha-linolenic plasma levels from baseline.
NSK-SD
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Nattokinase might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Nattokinase has thrombolytic and anticoagulant effects. There is a case report of intracranial hemorrhage in a patient who added nattokinase to aspirin therapy.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, nattokinase might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical research suggests that nattokinase may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Sodium
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
Kaneka Q10
Alkylating Agents
Coenzyme Q10 has antioxidant effects. Theoretically, this may reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals.
Theoretically, antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 might protect tumor cells from chemotherapeutic agents that work by inducing oxidative stress, such as alkylating agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide) and radiation therapy. The clinical importance of this interaction is unknown.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Coenzyme Q10 is chemically similar to menaquinone and might have vitamin K-like procoagulant effects, which could decrease the effects of warfarin.
Concomitant use of coenzyme Q10 and warfarin might reduce the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. Four cases of decreased warfarin efficacy thought to be due to coenzyme Q10 have been reported. However, there is some preliminary clinical research that suggests coenzyme Q10 might not significantly decrease the effects of warfarin in patients who have a stable INR.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, coenzyme Q10 might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical research shows that coenzyme Q10 can significantly lower blood pressure, although other studies have shown conflicting results.
