Frequently Asked Questions

When you purchase a MitoQ subscription, we charge your payment method for the first month’s order, then process and dispatch the corresponding order. It then works on a 4-week cycle, going forward. 4 weeks after your initial purchase, you will be charged again and your corresponding subscription order will be dispatched.

You can view, edit or cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account here and then viewing the ‘view subscriptions’ tab. Under this section, you should have the option to edit your shipping address and payment information for future subscription deliveries. You also have the option to skip a future delivery or cancel the subscription altogether, if needed.

Please note: if your order has just been processed or is in transit, any changes you make will be applied to your next, unprocessed order.

Yes, we still have the option to purchase one-off orders. Simply select the “Single” option when selecting your choice of MitoQ product.

Unfortunately, once a subscription order is placed, we’re unable to amend or add to the order. If you would like to alter or change your subscription product, we suggest canceling your existing subscription and placing a new subscription with the desired product and amounts. You can also contact us directly - we’re more than happy to help.

Items in stock are normally dispatched within the next 2 working days after an order is successfully placed. An order confirmation email will be sent to you once the order has been placed and a shipment confirmation email will be sent to you once it leaves our warehouse.

In most circumstances, it's not possible to make changes to your order once you've placed it. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you receive a damaged or defective item, we will be happy to send you a new product. Please contact us.

MitoQ doesn’t normally offer free samples but freebies are given at giveaways and campaigns. Please follow our social media pages or sign up for our newsletter so you will be informed when this happens.

Orders can incur duties and taxes. Duties and taxes are determined by the customs agency within your country. Although charges are not always incurred, assessment of duties and taxes will be based on the value of the order and the tax-free threshold, if it exists, for goods imported into your country. Payment of any duties and taxes is the responsibility of the recipient, and these fees are collected at the time of delivery.

If an international customer returns an item for whatever reason, we will not reimburse them for any part of any customs fees incurred.

To learn more about customs fees, taxes or duties, please contact your local post office or international customs service.

We accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard and American Express) and PayPal. PayPal is not currently available for subscription orders.

MitoQ products are available at our official website and Amazon store. Please note that, as we are based in New Zealand, we may be operating in a different time zone from you. Our customer service, warehouse team and courier agents are not available on weekends and public holidays, so please allow extra time for your order to be processed and delivered during these times.

We recommend that you take MitoQ in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before your first meal of the day. Alternatively, you can take MitoQ 2 hours after eating. MitoQ is water-soluble, so it doesn't need to be taken with food or oils to assist with absorption.

We recommend taking it in the morning because studies have shown that, if you take it with food, it reduces the absorption into your body. When you wake up, your stomach is at its most empty – so that’s a great time to take it.

MitoQ helps give you energy – so you may as well make the most of that first thing in the morning when you're up, awake and doing things.

Everyone will experience MitoQ differently, depending on your age, your fitness and whether you have a health condition. As different cells and organ systems “re-energize” at different speeds, it can take days, weeks or months for you to experience the full effect of increased energy and health.

MitoQ has been extensively tested for safety but not for interactions with prescription medicines. Please consult your physician.

NAD-focused supplements (such as Tru Niagen and Elysium Basis) contain nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) and are good at supporting optimal NAD levels (a form of cellular fuel) within cells. In effect, they may improve the amount of this fuel, which your mitochondria can then use to produce cellular energy. However, like with a car - there's little point in putting high-grade fuel into an engine that's not running properly. MitoQ, by comparison, is like high-grade oil, tuning up your mitochondrial engines by optimizing antioxidant reserves within them - therefore helping to reduce free radical damage. This helps your mitochondria to remain healthy and run more efficiently. When supported with MitoQ, your mitochondria (and therefore your cells) fire on all four cylinders, allowing for more efficient natural production of crucial molecules such as NAD and CoQ10 that mitochondria require to generate energy and protect cells.

MitoQ can be taken in combination with your other supplements. Some of our products do have vitamins and minerals in them, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your intake levels of those so that they stay within the recommended range.

MitoQ's recommended dose is 10mg per day. However, studies have shown MitoQ to be safe well beyond the recommended dose.

At doses higher than 80mg per day, a small number of people have reported experiencing a mild upset stomach and nausea.

Yes, MitoQ is based on an advance in CoQ10 technology and can replace CoQ10 or ubiquinol supplementation.

In your body, CoQ10 is synthesized from the same type of precursor as cholesterol. What statins do is they inhibit that route of synthesis. So, by lowering your cholesterol, you actually end up lowering your body’s CoQ10 levels. When that happens, you can start running into problems like low energy and muscle pains. Your oxidative stress goes up because you’re reducing your antioxidant levels. So, for those reasons, it’s recommended that people take CoQ10 when they’re taking statins, just to boost those levels. We always recommend taking MitoQ as well, just to reduce that oxidative stress.

MitoQ doesn’t occur naturally but the active part of the MitoQ molecule is identical to the active part of naturally occurring CoQ10. However, the molecule has been modified in other ways to improve absorption. So, while it’s based on nature, we like to think we’ve improved on the naturally occurring CoQ10.

As with most supplements, MitoQ has not been tested during pregnancy, therefore we do not recommend taking it while pregnant. Supplements and medicines should only be taken in pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risk. Should you have any further questions, we recommend that you consult your physician or obstetrician. She or he will know you and your pregnancy best and can work with you to ensure you have a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Keep MitoQ out of direct sunlight.
