What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 10 active ingredients.
  • “NTFactor Proprietary Lipid Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (900 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 10 active ingredients. The main one is coenzyme Q10, a compound your cells make naturally to help produce energy.

It's also a potent antioxidant. The blend also contains boron, phosphatidyl-choline, phosphatidyl-serine, and several other phospholipids (fat-based compounds that support cell membranes)—phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl-ethanolamine, phosphatidyl-glycerol, phosphatidyl-inositol, digalactosyldiacylglyceride, and monoglactosyldiacylglyceride.

These are collectively marketed as the NTFactor Proprietary Lipid Blend. The inactive ingredients include xylitol (a sugar alcohol sweetener), fructooligosaccharides, cocoa powder, stearic acid, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, chocolate and natural flavors, pantethine, rosemary extract, and a natural color.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy and cellular support with coenzyme Q10.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fatigue, Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, Cognitive function, Memory, Age-related cognitive decline.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Likely Effective" for Coenzyme Q10 deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylserine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related cognitive decline.
  • Also on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Chemotherapy-related fatigue.

Coenzyme Q10 is rated Likely Effective for treating coenzyme Q10 deficiency and Possibly Effective for fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, congestive heart failure, and diabetic nerve pain. Boron is rated Likely Effective for boron deficiency and Possibly Effective for vaginal yeast infections and radiation dermatitis, though it's rated Possibly Ineffective for athletic performance.

Phosphatidyl-choline shows Possibly Effective evidence for ulcerative colitis but Insufficient Reliable Evidence for fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, Alzheimer's disease, and anxiety. Phosphatidyl-serine is rated Possibly Effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease but has Insufficient Reliable Evidence for ADHD, general cognitive function, athletic performance, and dementia.

We hold no effectiveness data for the other phospholipid ingredients in the proprietary blend.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Coenzyme Q10 is generally well tolerated by most adults. Gastrointestinal side effects—appetite suppression, diarrhea, epigastric discomfort, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting—occur in less than 1% of users; dividing daily doses above 100 mg can help minimize these.

Headache, dizziness, and insomnia have been reported, and rarely, cognitive decline, depression, falls, increased lethargy, or a feeling of trembling. Skin itching and allergic rash have also been reported.

Boron is generally well tolerated at doses below 20 mg daily; higher doses can be toxic and cause skin problems, hair loss, and serious poisoning symptoms. There isn't enough reliable safety data to recommend coenzyme Q10 in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so check with your doctor.

Boron should be avoided in pregnancy—high amounts may harm the fetus—and while breastfeeding due to limited safety data. Phosphatidyl-choline is generally well tolerated but high doses may cause digestive upset; choline is needed in pregnancy, but supplement safety beyond food sources isn't well studied—talk with your doctor.

Phosphatidyl-serine is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety isn't fully established; there isn't enough safety information to use it in pregnancy, and breastfeeding safety is unknown.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Coenzyme Q10, Phosphatidylserine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 417 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take warfarin or other blood thinners—coenzyme Q10 may reduce their effectiveness. Do the same if you use chemotherapy drugs (especially alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide), blood pressure medications, anticholinergic drugs (which block acetylcholine), or cholinergic drugs (which enhance acetylcholine).

No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help if you have a coenzyme Q10 deficiency, migraines, heart failure, or diabetic nerve pain, or if you're interested in cognitive support—but talk with your doctor about whether it's right for your situation. If you take warfarin, any chemotherapy drugs, blood pressure medicines, or medications that affect acetylcholine, you need to check this product against your exact prescriptions before starting.

Discuss with your own doctor or pharmacist whether this supplement fits safely into your medication routine.

Phosphatidyl-Serine2 drug types · 219 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might decrease the effectiveness anticholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically interfere with the activity of anticholinergic agents.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might have additive effects with cholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically lead to additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.

Coenzyme Q103 drug types · 198 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

NTFactor CoQ10 Chocolate Chewables by NutriCology: Common Questions

Does NTFactor CoQ10 Chocolate Chewables by NutriCology interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, NTFactor CoQ10 Chocolate Chewables has a known interaction with 417 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
NTFactor CoQ10 Chocolate Chewables contains 10 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does CoQ10 really help with heart failure?
Coenzyme Q10 is rated Possibly Effective for congestive heart failure based on available research. That means there's some evidence it may help, but it's not proven like a first-line heart medication would be. Talk with your cardiologist about whether adding it makes sense for your situation.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data for coenzyme Q10 in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. Boron should be avoided in pregnancy entirely and while breastfeeding too. For phosphatidyl-serine, there's not enough safety information for pregnancy, and breastfeeding safety is unknown. Check with your doctor about each ingredient before using.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate this product well. The most common side effects from coenzyme Q10 are digestive—appetite suppression, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, or vomiting, though these occur in less than 1% of users. Phosphatidyl-serine may cause flatulence, gastrointestinal upset, headache, or insomnia, especially at higher doses. Dividing larger CoQ10 doses can help.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
Coenzyme Q10 can lower blood pressure on its own, so taking it with blood pressure medicines could add up to a bigger drop. Don't start this product without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first—they can adjust your medication if needed.
What is boron doing in this product?
Boron is included as an active ingredient; it's rated Likely Effective for boron deficiency and Possibly Effective for vaginal yeast infections and radiation dermatitis. Be aware that high doses of boron can be toxic, so only use as directed on the label and don't exceed the tolerable upper intake level of 20 mg daily.
Is there any real evidence this helps with cognitive decline?
Phosphatidyl-serine is rated Possibly Effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, which means there's some research support but it's not definitive. The other ingredients' effects on general cognitive function have Insufficient Reliable Evidence, so the evidence picture is mixed.
