Coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀) supplementation has demonstrated to be safe and effective in primary and secondary CoQ₁₀ deficiencies. Previously, we have designed a high-dose CoQ₁₀ oleogel (1 g/disk) with excipients used in quantities that do not represent any toxic risk. However, it was necessary to demonstrate their safety in the final formulation. Following this purpose, an acute toxicity study of the oleogel in rats was performed. Furthermore, the genotoxic risk was evaluated in human volunteers after CoQ₁₀ supplementation with oleogel and compared to the solid form (1 g/three 00-size-capsules). In addition, the general health status and possible biochemical changes of the participants were determined using serum parameters. Results suggested the absence of adverse effects caused by the interaction of the components in the oleogel formulation. Therefore, we conclude that the designed novel high-dose CoQ₁₀ oleogel was safe for oral consumption.
