Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

What Is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)?

CoQ10 is a coenzyme naturally occurring in our body. A coenzyme helps the enzyme perform its function. An enzyme is from the protein category and helps the cells to speed up the chemical reactions taking place inside the cells of our body. In the same way, cells in our body require CoQ10 to produce energy (ATP molecules) which in turn is needed for their growth and maintenance.

Its main functions include producing energy for the body, cell growth, and cell protection. Coenzyme Q10 is known by several other names, some of which are:

  • Vitamin Q10
  • CoQ10
  • Q10
  • Ubiquinone
  • Ubidecarenone

Along with the production of energy for cell growth, CoQ10 has antioxidant properties, which help our body get rid of free radicals.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels in our body keep on decreasing with age and with the use of blood thinners or statins. It is present in the highest number in one’s liver, heart, kidney, and pancreas. And the least of this coenzyme is present in our lungs. [1]

Several other factors can reduce the CoQ10 levels in your body, including:

  • Age
  • Heart Complications
  • Statin Medications
  • Oxidative Stress
  • Nutritional Deficiencies

However, if anyone is experiencing much lower levels of CoQ10, then they may take Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements to maintain their heart health, energy levels, and other associated issues with CoQ10 deficiency.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Uses & Benefits

Uses & Benefits

Description

Supports Cardiovascular Health

One of the most important benefits of CoQ10 is its support for cardiovascular health. As per the research, lower levels of CoQ10 can be an alarming situation for heart diseases to appear in the future. [2] People who take CoQ10 supplement in their everyday routine show improved symptoms of congestive heart failure. CoQ10 also helps regulate blood pressure, support healthy levels of cholesterol, and enhance overall heart functioning.

As per the research, CoQ10 lowered the mortality rate in patients suffering from heart failure, and also it enhanced the exercise capacity, making it a better treatment to opt for than a placebo. [3][4]

Treats Migraine Headaches

Migraine is a common problem nowadays covering 11.6% of the world's population. And with the pathogenesis of migraine, there is a proven association of CoQ10 deficiency. [5]

As we now know CoQ10 is very much involved in the energy production or the ATP synthesis in the cells, thus, it has known benefits in treating migraine headaches. The reason behind this is that migraine also is a potential outcome of abnormal mitochondrial functioning. [5]

Studies also suggest that CoQ10 helps in reducing the frequency, duration, and severity of headaches. [6][7]

Helps with Fertility

The eggs and sperm in humans are highly susceptible to oxidative stress and damage. CoQ10 is closely linked to their production, thus helping in enhancing fertility which generally declines with age.

Studies suggest that adequate levels of CoQ10 in women's bodies may help the formation of healthy eggs, and also will take care of the quantity of eggs. [8]

Similarly, CoQ10 benefits men as well for fertility, it enhances the sperm quality and quantity which goes down due to oxidative damage caused to the cells. [9]

Reduces Muscle Pain due to Statins

For cardiovascular diseases, doctors often prescribe statins, which while working on the cholesterol levels, also reduce the CoQ10 in the cells. And it can cause mitochondrial dysfunction which results in muscle pain.

So it is evident that CoQ10 helps relieve this muscular pain due to statins. Researchers also concluded that CoQ10 when added in the treatment of cardiovascular disease patients, showed significant relief in statins-induced myopathy.[10]

Enhances the Cellular Energy & Sports Performance

Being directly coordinated with the energy production in the cells, its deficiency may cause abnormality in mitochondrial function, which ultimately abstains from muscular activity and performance.

CoQ10 shows a decrease in oxidative stress in the cells, and reduces fatigue, supports the functioning of mitochondria to make energy synthesis better. Thus, helps with better exercise performance. [11][12] The similar effect was also seen with swimmers. [13]

Slows Down Aging Effects

CoQ10 supports a fast metabolism, healthy tissues, strong muscles, and youthful skin by supporting mitochondrial ATP synthesis. It can help in slowing down the DNA damage.

The anti-aging benefits of CoQ10 include muscle and bone strength, heart protection, reduced skin aging, and enhanced antioxidant activities.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Dosage

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements come in a variety of doses, typically ranging from 30 mg to 600 mg per capsule. While there is no defined minimum or maximum CoQ10 dosage, it may vary as per the requirement and deficiency levels. Research indicates that taking 200 mg twice a day can help achieve blood levels (therapeutic) over 2.5 mcg/mL[14]

 

For heart health, the commonly used daily doses are between 100 mg and 400 mg. However, for neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's, Parkinson's, and ALS, much higher doses, ranging from 600 mg to 3,000 mg per day, have been utilized.

When to Take Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)?

Time of the Day: You can take the Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplement in the morning or in the evening too.

With Food: Being fat-soluble, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is advised to be taken with a meal containing fat. This enhances the absorbability of it inside the body.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Side-Effects & Additional Tips

Side Effects: With most people, even high doses of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) appear to be safe. However, only a few people who have sensitivity to this compound may experience mild side effects such as nausea, dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, skin rashes, etc.

Interactions: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) consumption may include reactions with certain medications like Insulin, Blood Thinners, and Chemotherapy Drugs[15] So if you are on any of these medications, then make sure to first consult your doctor before taking CoQ10.
