CoQ10 has been shown to help improve heart health and blood sugar regulation, assist in the prevention and treatment of cancer and reduce the frequency of migraines. It could also reduce the oxidative damage that leads to muscle fatigue, skin damage and brain and lung diseases.
What is CoQ10 good for?
Coenzyme Q10 is most commonly used for conditions that affect the heart such as heart failure and fluid build up in the body (congestive heart failure or CHF), chest pain (angina), and high blood pressure. It is also used for preventing migraine headache, Parkinson disease, and many other conditions.
Can taking CoQ10 be harmful?
While it's generally considered to be safe for healthy adults, CoQ10 can be potentially harmful to people with certain conditions or those taking certain medications. The typical dose ranges from 100 mg of CoQ10 or 25 mg of ubiquinol daily for generally healthy people not taking any medications.
