What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This softgel contains two active ingredients. Ubiquinol is a form of coenzyme Q10, a compound your cells use for energy production and antioxidant protection.

PrimaVie Shilajit Fulvic Acid Complex is a fulvic acid extract — a traditional mineral-rich substance. The product also includes several inactive ingredients: sunflower oil, gelatin, glycerin, purified water, beeswax, sunflower lecithin, and annatto color.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Mitochondrial support and energy.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fatigue, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Chemotherapy-related fatigue, Athletic performance, Physical performance, Statin-induced myalgia — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Chemotherapy-related fatigue (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Likely Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Coenzyme Q10 is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fatigue, Statin-induced myalgia, Statin-induced myopathy, and more.

Ubiquinol has solid evidence for treating CoQ10 deficiency and is possibly effective for fibromyalgia, migraine headache, congestive heart failure, and diabetic neuropathy. For the shilajit component, the evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate it for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or osteopenia.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coenzyme Q10 Shilajit

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Ubiquinol is generally well tolerated. In clinical studies, no serious side effects were reported.

The most common adverse effects are gastrointestinal — appetite suppression, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting — occurring in less than 1% of users; dividing doses above 100 mg daily may help. Headache, dizziness, insomnia, and rarely skin itching or rash have also been reported.

For shilajit, safety data is limited. There's a caution about unpurified products potentially containing heavy metals or contaminants, so only use purified, tested brands.

Rare adverse effects include severe allergic reactions and headache. Shilajit is not recommended in pregnancy due to insufficient data and contamination risk, and safety while breastfeeding is unknown.

Ubiquinol safety during pregnancy is uncertain — there isn't enough data to know either way. For breastfeeding, safety data on ubiquinol has not been well studied, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Coenzyme Q10, Shilajit.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 284 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take warfarin or other blood thinners, chemotherapy drugs (especially alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide), blood pressure medications, or antidiabetes drugs. CoQ10 may reduce warfarin's effectiveness and chemotherapy potency, while both ingredients may amplify blood pressure and blood sugar changes.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help if you have a CoQ10 deficiency or conditions like fibromyalgia or migraines, but it's not right for everyone. If you take warfarin, chemotherapy, blood pressure medications, or diabetes drugs, you'll want to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interactions could affect how your medicines work.

Pregnant people should avoid the shilajit component and check with their healthcare provider about ubiquinol as well.

Ubiquinol3 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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Ubiquinol full monograph & interactions

PrimaVie Shilajit Fulvic Acid Complex1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking shilajit with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Most human and animal research shows that shilajit can decrease fasting plasma glucose levels. In an animal model, shilajit 100 mg per kg daily enhanced the glucose-lowering ability of both glibenclamide and metformin when given in combination over a 4 week period. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 Enhanced Mitochondrial Support by Life Extension: Common Questions

Does Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 Enhanced Mitochondrial Support by Life Extension interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 Enhanced Mitochondrial Support has a known interaction with 284 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 Enhanced Mitochondrial Support contains 2 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Shilajit is not recommended in pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data and unpurified products may contain contaminants. For ubiquinol, there also isn't enough data to know whether it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
What's ubiquinol, and why is it in here?
Ubiquinol is a form of coenzyme Q10, a compound your cells use to make energy and protect themselves from damage. This product includes it to support mitochondrial (cellular energy) function. It's particularly useful if you're deficient in CoQ10.
What does shilajit do?
Shilajit is a fulvic acid extract traditionally used for general wellness. The evidence we hold doesn't establish reliable effectiveness for specific conditions, so its exact benefits aren't clear from the data.
What side effects might I experience?
Ubiquinol is generally well tolerated, but gastrointestinal effects — nausea, diarrhea, heartburn — occur in less than 1% of users. Headache, dizziness, and insomnia have been reported rarely. Shilajit rarely causes headache, and severe allergic reactions, though uncommon, have been reported.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Ubiquinol has been used in studies without serious long-term adverse effects reported. For shilajit, long-term safety data is limited. It's best to discuss ongoing use with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have any health conditions.
Does it matter if the shilajit is purified?
Yes — unpurified shilajit products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants. The safety notes advise using only purified, tested brands to avoid potential harm.
