The present invention relates to a coenzyme Q10 solubilizing composition and a method for preparing the same. In the coenzyme Q10 solubilizing composition and the method for preparing the same according to the present invention, coenzyme Q10, which is a non-soluble drug, is encapsulated by a micelle containing glycyrrhizic acid or a salt of glycyrrhizic acid, bile acid, and unsaturated fatty acid, thereby improving encapsulation efficiency and improving the solubility of coenzyme Q10 in water. In addition, the mass-production of the composition can be easily achieved through sonication or a microfluidizer, the particle size of the composition encapsulating coenzyme Q10 can be controlled, and the natural substance-based formulation without using ethanol and an organic solvent are possible, so that it is expected that the composition of the present invention can be favorably utilized as a composition for pharmaceuticals, foods, and cosmetics, the composition having ensured stability and almost no toxicity.

The invention is a mechanism, sized for insertion into a commercially-available water bottle, for instantaneously producing a water-based beverage without spillage that comprises a concentrate fully encompassed by an instantaneously dissolvable water-soluble film with water-soluble access members about the film that have a faster water-dissolution rate than the film. The film is thick enough to retain the concentrate when at room temperature and not in contact with water, but thin enough to dissolve very quickly, e.g. within five seconds, when contacted with water.
