HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Qultured CoQ-10 by Quantum Nutrition Labs
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
Low disclosure
Qultured CoQ-10 contains four active ingredients. Coenzyme Q-10 is a compound your cells use for energy production and antioxidant defense.
Carrot and rice protein are included for their nutritional roles — carrot as a source of vitamin A precursor, and rice protein as a plant-based protein. The product also contains a Q-10 support blend, which groups additional supporting ingredients together.
Two inactive ingredients — cellulose and water — serve as the capsule base and filler.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The strongest evidence is for coenzyme Q-10 in treating coenzyme Q-10 deficiency itself, where it's considered likely effective. It's possibly effective for fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, congestive heart failure, and diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).
Carrot is possibly effective for vitamin A deficiency when you need it, but evidence for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, fibromyalgia, and prostate cancer prevention is insufficient. Rice protein is possibly effective for food allergies, but evidence for exercise-induced muscle soreness and muscle strength is insufficient.
We don't have effectiveness data on the Q-10 support blend or mineralized red algae.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Coenzyme Q-10 is generally well tolerated, with gastrointestinal side effects like appetite suppression, diarrhea, heartburn, and nausea occurring in less than 1% of users — usually when doses above 100 mg aren't divided. Rarely, headache, dizziness, insomnia, or skin itching have been reported.
Carrot as a food is safe; concentrated supplements should be avoided in pregnancy, and safety during breastfeeding hasn't been well studied. Some people are allergic to carrot, with reactions ranging from hives and swelling to gastrointestinal upset.
Rice protein is generally well tolerated but is not well studied in concentrated form during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Enterocolitis (intestinal inflammation) has been rarely reported, especially in infants.
Safety data for mineralized red algae is not on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take blood thinners like warfarin — coenzyme Q-10 may reduce how well they work (moderate concern). Also double-check if you're on ACE inhibitors for blood pressure, or any blood pressure medication, and especially if you're undergoing chemotherapy with alkylating agents.
No interactions are documented for carrot.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may be worth considering if you have a coenzyme Q-10 deficiency, fibromyalgia, migraines, heart failure, or diabetic neuropathy — coenzyme Q-10 has decent evidence for those uses. Be careful if you take blood thinners, ACE inhibitors, blood pressure medications, or chemotherapy; run your medications through the checker first.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor before starting.

Qultured CoQ-10 by Quantum Nutrition Labs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Qultured CoQ-10 by Quantum Nutrition Labs contains ingredients with documented interactions affecting a total of 196 individual medications.
Coenzyme Q-10 is the primary concern — it may reduce how well blood thinners like warfarin work by interfering with their anticoagulant effect, a moderate-severity interaction that's been reported in at least four cases. It can also theoretically protect cancer cells from certain chemotherapy drugs (alkylating agents), which is a moderate concern if you're undergoing treatment.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Rice protein carries a moderate interaction with ACE inhibitors (blood pressure medications like lisinopril). In animal studies, rice protein behaves similarly to ACE inhibitors and theoretically could lower blood pressure too much when combined.
Coenzyme Q-10 may also have additive blood-pressure-lowering effects with antihypertensive drugs, though this is a minor interaction. Carrot has no documented interactions in our data.
We cannot check mineralized red algae — we hold no data for it. Before you start this supplement, run your exact medications through the interaction checker below, especially if you take blood thinners, ACE inhibitors, chemotherapy, or blood pressure medications.

For each ingredient in Qultured CoQ-10 with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Coenzyme Q-10
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.
Rice Protein
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
In laboratory research, hydrolyzed rice protein inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). In animal research, the inhibition of ACE is correlated with a reduction in systolic blood pressure. So far, this effect has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rice protein and ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of blood pressure becoming too low. Use with caution. ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).
