The participant will arrive fasted at he research center. After installing a cathether and drawing 5 mL of blood, the participants will be given one of the active comparator or the treatment. The choice of the treatment/comparator will be random. In this arm, the participant will receive 1 dose of 1 g MaxSimil® fish oil + 200 mg CoQ10. The participant will consume this unique dose with a standardized breakfast. There will thereafter be blood sample collection over 24 h to evaluate the level of omega-3 fatty acids in the plasma and a side effect questionnaire will be administered to monitor side effects.

The intervention is a randomized double blind cross over design testing the pharmacokinetics of 1) CoQ10 combined with MaxSimil fish oil as a carrier, 2) CoQ10 combined with rice bran oil as a carrier, and 3) CoQ10 as a powder form.
Treatments are randomly assigned on days 1, 8 and 15 of the clinical study. Blood samples will be collected at time 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 48 hours. Each participant will perform all three treatments, with a minimum of 7 days between treatments. A questionnaire will document the side effects felt by participants.

Pharmacokinetic Study on Three Formulations of Coenzyme Q10 With Different Carriers

Plasma CoQ10 levels will be measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), each sample being performed randomly blindly. After HPLC analyzes, area under the curve (AUC) 0-48 hours will be calculated, as the first parameter of the PK. Statistical analyzes will then be performed on this PK parameter.

Plasma CoQ10 levels will be measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), each sample being performed randomly blindly. After HPLC analyzes, AUC 0-6 hours (absorption study) will be calculated, as the second parameter of the PK. Statistical analyzes will then be performed on this PK parameter.

Plasma CoQ10 levels will be measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), each sample being performed randomly blindly. After HPLC analyzes, maximum concentration will be calculated, as the third parameter of the PK. Statistical analyzes will then be performed on this PK parameter.

Plasma CoQ10 levels will be measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), each sample being performed randomly blindly. After HPLC analyzes, time when the maximum concentration is reached will be calculated, as the fourth parameter of the PK. Statistical analyzes will then be performed on this PK parameter.

Double-blind controlled-randomized pharmacokinetic (PK) study with crossover design (15 men and 15 women), with a minimum of 6 days between treatments

Neither the participant nor the research nurse will know the administration order of the different treatments administered. All plasma samples collected during the research project will be anonymized i.e. it will not be possible to identify the participant by his name since a number will be assigned to him. The code key linking the participant's name to his number will be stored, with access restricted to those designated by the principal investigator. The data file is also protected by a password.
