Can You Take Silica and CoQ10 Together?

Silica and CoQ10 among the 20 actives in Vyelle Daily Renewal, a daily drink for women over 50

Can you take silica and CoQ10 together?

Yes — silica and CoQ10 can be taken together. They don't compete for absorption and there's no need to space them apart. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, so taking both with a meal is the simple approach. Both are described here for what they are rather than carrying a specific everyday effect claim.

What each one is

Silica is a trace mineral the body uses in small amounts; we describe it structurally rather than attaching a skin, hair or nail claim to it — in Vyelle, that role belongs to zinc, which helps keep skin, hair and nails normal. CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is a compound your body makes on its own, found in nearly every cell; we describe it as one of the body's own molecules rather than attaching an energy claim to it directly — where energy is concerned, that role in Vyelle sits with the B vitamins, which help your body make energy from what you eat.

Timing and how to take them

Take both once a day. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, so it absorbs best alongside a meal that contains a little fat; silica is comfortable with food too — so one meal covers both. There's no absorption conflict between them and no special order.

Where Vyelle fits

Vyelle Daily Renewal already contains both — 20 mg of silica and 100 mg of CoQ10 (as ubiquinol) — disclosed on the label, in one daily drink taken with your morning routine. If you take a separate CoQ10 supplement, factor that in first.
