What are the benefits of CoQ10?

CoQ10, comes in the form called Ubiquinol, which is 8 times more concentrated.

How does it work?
For the body to use CoQ10, it must convert it from its inactive form, ubiquinone, into it its active form, ubiquinol.

Mitochondria are responsible for powering the body’s cells. To do this, they use CoQ10 to produce the chemical adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is known as ATP synthesis. ATP is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells.

Under normal conditions, free radicals regulate communication between cells and defend the body against infectious microbes. However, excess free radicals cause DNA damage, which can lead to the following:

inflammation
DNA mutations
tissue damage
CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals. In this way, CoQ10 helps protect cells from the harmful effects of DNA damage.

What is the correct dosage?

Standard daily doses of CoQ10 from 60 milligrams (mg) to 500 mg. The highest recommended dose is 1,200 mg. However, clinical trials have used dosages as high as 3,000 mg per day.

Benefits of CoQ10
CoQ10 protects cells against oxidative damage. It also plays a vital role in producing the body’s primary source of energy, ATP. CoQ10 could, therefore, provide a range of health benefits. Some examples include:

Improving heart health
The heart contains some of the highest concentrations of CoQ10 in the body. The vast majority of people with heart disease also have low CoQ10 levels. Studies now consider low CoQ10 levels to be an indicator of the severity and long term outcome of various heart diseases.

Reducing muscle pain from statin use
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an umbrella term for conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels. Doctors often prescribe statins to treat CVD. These drugs work by reducing the cholesterol production that can contribute to the disease.

Although statins reduce cholesterol production, they also lower CoQ10 levels. Reduced CoQ10 levels can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which can cause muscle pain, or myopathy.

CoQ10 supplements may help relieve muscle pain related to statin use.

Treating migraines
Chronic migraines may be due to inflammation of neurons and cells in a part of the brain called the trigeminovascular system.

Women who took the CoQ10 supplements also showed lower levels of certain inflammatory biomarkers. Inflammatory biomarkers are substances in the blood that indicate the presence of inflammation somewhere in the body.

Protecting against age-related diseases
Mitochondrial function decreases as the body’s CoQ10 levels naturally deplete with age.

Research suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction can contribute to age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. These diseases are associated with free radical damage.
