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.

A stabilized composition of fat soluble nutrient(s) includes a water soluble polymer and at least one nutraceutically acceptable excipient. The composition can be in the form of significantly amorphous aqueous microparticulate mixtures or as a solid beadlet product. A process for preparation of a stabilized composition includes a fat soluble nutrient solubilized in an organic solvent embedded in an aqueous polymer phase by evaporation, so as to obtain an aqueous microparticulate mixture. This mixture is stable, soluble and can be formulated for end use or can be layered on inert core for example to obtain stable beadlet(s) for use in solid dosage forms. Such stabilized aqueous microparticulate and solid beadlet compositions exhibit good solubility and dispersibility. Stabilized compositions of fat soluble nutrients can be prepared using industrially convenient equipment and can be formulated as per requirement for use in health applications.
