Here is another choice of a quality type:

CoQ10 is notoriously difficult to absorb. When it comes to choosing a CoQ10 supplement, the primary factor is how many swallowed milligrams actually make it into your bloodstream. A recent study showed that in seriously ill patients, conventional ubiquinone CoQ10 was hardly detectable in the blood whereas ubiquinol resulted in significant blood level increases and subsequent clinical improvements.

My own CoQ10 being low despite taking 100-300mg daily for a few months could be explained by poor absorption.
With something so important, it's essential to test regularly whichever supplement you're using to make sure you're not low, or have some false sense of security regarding how much you're taking daily. A previous poster said her test revealed her CoQ10 was actually high, so there's another reason we need to regularly test.
