A system and method for purifying coenzyme Q.sub.10 are provided. The method includes: passing a CoQ.sub.10-containing crude product through a first chromatographic column to obtain a first CoQ.sub.10-containing intermediate product. The method further includes preparing, based on the first CoQ.sub.10-containing intermediate product, a second CoQ.sub.10-containing intermediate product. The method further includes passing the second CoQ.sub.10-containing intermediate product through a second chromatographic column to obtain a third CoQ.sub.10-containing intermediate product. The method further includes obtaining purified CoQ.sub.10 product by purifying the third CoQ.sub.10-containing intermediate product.

A method for cultivating Monarda fistulosa for production of thymoquinone includes planting seeds at rates between about 2.5 and about 5 pounds per acre, preferably about 4 pounds per acre. The heavy rate of planting produces plants bearing oil without weed contamination and reduces herbicide use due to production of natural herbicides by the monarda plants. Seeding and mowing the first season, and harvesting in seasons thereafter reduce costs. The method results in increased production of essential oils including thymoquinone and thymohydroquinone at levels up to about 40% or more of recovered oils, and which may be distilled from the plant.

Improved systems and methods for producing synthetic hypericin at high volume and high purity. In particular, systems and methods of preparing a purified synthetic hypericin resulting from irradiation, wherein the irradiation step is performed in a continuous flow micro-reactor. The process of manufacturing purified synthetic hypericin results in the synthetic yield of 30-100% of the dry product.
