There are supplement formulations that are supposed to improve absorption, but I don’t know of their efficacy.

AFAIK heavy front end loading is the only current option and may have limited effectiveness, although empirically I can say that supplementation appears to reduce markers of oxidative stress in my bloodstream and is similar but less effective for my brother, and it seemed effective for my father. I have a suspicion that absorption might have a genetic component or may be dependant on other lifestyle factors, or perhaps dependant upon the generation mechanisms for oxidative stress itself.

IOTW YMMV and I’m not sure if supplemental CoQ10 is effective for everyone. It does seem to be safe, though, so there’s that.
