Summertime trick for defusing melted/fused pills
I like the quality of this product and the size of the caps. The problem, as others have noted, is that during the warmer months, the soft gel caps can fuse together into one mass inside the jar. I received my package directly on delivery and it was still fused, so the fusion took place in transit. Note that I read that ubiquinol is not ruined by the relatively low amount of heat that is encountered in a transit situation, so try this: Cut open the bottle and remove the clumped mass of pills. Place into the freezer for about 10-12 min [long enough to freeze the outside of the cap, but not the inside which does not need to be frozen for this to work]. Take the cooled down mass and roll it around in your hand gently popping off the pills into a bowl as they separate. Repeat until the last pill is free [you only need to place smaller bits back in freezer for about 3-5 mins just to get the outside of the cap Cold and hardened]. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me and took very little time while doing other things in the kitchen. You might also manage this without cutting the jar open by just using your finger to separate the caps depending on the level of fusion. [To avoid some of the more severe and possibly irreversible fusion, make sure you order in a way that the package won't be sitting out in your mailbox or outside your door during the summer months]. Good luck
