>does anyone know if coenzymeQ10 is in it?

-

Probably not: Coenzyme Q10 is easily destroyed in the cooking process and

probably wouldn't survive the ferment even if it was in the ingredients,

which it isn't. It is not found in tea or sugar.

Coenzyme Q10 is a protein found in some foods we eat, but not often in large

amounts. The best sources of coenzyme Q10 are animal organs, some types of

fish, and vegetable oils such as soybean, rapeseed, and sesame. It is found

in lesser quantities in rice bran and wheat germ and in soy and other beans.

It is also found in vegetables, in particular spinach and broccoli.

here's my list or ingredence if anybody is interested....

does anyone know if coenzymeQ10 is in it?

" a. lactase - necessary for digesting lactose, the sugar found in

milk products "

cultivated in milk.
