Description
The Zetpil® Suppository Format
Zetpil® offers CoQ10 and N-Acetyl-Cysteine in a suppository format as an alternative to traditional oral products. Each suppository is formulated with a proprietary base designed to melt after insertion and provide a convenient, non-oral method of administration. The suppository format avoids the need to swallow tablets, capsules or liquids.
Oral supplements can lose effectiveness as they pass through the digestive system due to stomach acid, digestive enzymes, food interactions, first-pass metabolism, and other factors that affect absorption and bioavailability.
Zetpil® suppositories are designed for convenient at-home use.
Always use the product according to its directions and consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding whether a product is appropriate for you.
What Is CoQ10?
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble compound found in cells throughout the human body.
CoQ10 participates in mitochondrial energy production, including biochemical processes involved in generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which cells use as a source of energy.
CoQ10 also has antioxidant properties and participates in normal cellular processes involving oxidation and reduction.
The body naturally produces CoQ10, and the compound is also found in certain foods, including meats, fish, nuts, and oils.
Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol
CoQ10 exists in two principal forms: ubiquinone, its oxidized form, and ubiquinol, its reduced form.
These forms convert between one another through normal biochemical processes and participate in cellular energy production and antioxidant-related activities.
The chemical characteristics of CoQ10 may influence how it is incorporated into different formulations.
What Is N-Acetyl-Cysteine?
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC), also known as acetylcysteine, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine.
Cysteine participates in the body’s natural production of glutathione, a compound involved in cellular antioxidant processes.
NAC has been studied for its chemical properties and relationship to glutathione metabolism.

Storage and Use
This product can often be stored at room temperature from 21°C /70°F to 28°C /82°F. However, to allow for optimal ease of use, it is best to store in a cool place (15°C /59°F to 22°C /72°F), in the refrigerator or freezer prior to use. This is especially important when this product is used as a suppository (See Directions). If the materials in the shell liquefy/melt during shipping, remove the shells from the packaging, shake/agitate the strips and then place in the freezer until the product in the shell hardens (10-15 minutes). Although the re-hardened material in the shell may be slightly misshapen, the softening, shaking and cooling of the suppository in no way alters the effectiveness of the active ingredients or overall product delivery into the body.
For rectal use, clear the bowels before insertion when possible. The suppository may be moistened with cool water or used with a personal lubricant to facilitate insertion. Always insert the flat end first.
Follow the package directions for proper use.
Always use products as directed. However, individual nutritional requirements can vary. Consult your healthcare professional regarding appropriate intake for your individual needs and whether this product is appropriate for you.

If you choose to use this product as a rectal suppository, it is highly recommended you attempt to clear your bowels prior to inserting it to avoid premature evacuation. To facilitate insertion it is recommended you moisten the product by passing it under a stream of cool water or use a personal lubricant. When used as a suppository, this product requires 15-20 minutes retention to ensure the complete absorption of the bioactive ingredients. This suppository can be inserted in any position. Although not required, if inserted while lying on one’s side, consider remaining in the supine position for 1-3 minutes following insertion. Always insert flat end of suppository first.
