CoQ10 is available in a variety of dosages ranging from 10 mg to 300 mg per
capsule.
The recommended daily dosage is 100mg to 200mg, but you would have to eat the equivalent of 3.5 pounds of sardines, 6 pounds of beef or 8 pounds of peanuts to get 100mg of CoQ10. Therefore the best way to obtain this vital substance is through a potent man-made supplement.
- General Health: Take 30 to 100 mg daily.
- Heart Protection: Take 100 to 200 mg a day (along with 300 to 400 IU of vitamin E)
- Anti-Aging: Take 50 to 100 mg daily.
- High blood pressure/Stroke: Take 100 to 200 mg twice a day.
- Diabetes: Take 100 to 200 mg twice daily.
- Neurodegenerative disorders: Take 100 to 300 mg twice daily.
However, as with any supplement users should be careful. Large doses aren't necessary and may even
be harmful if used and extremely high doses. Moderation is always a key. Just as it has been recently discovered that vitamin E in high doses (generally over 400 units), is not beneficial, and even
potentially harmful, we may still discover the same fact about CoQ10. It's recommended that users do not take more than 50
mg or maximum 100 mg of CoQ10 a day, unless advised by their doctor.
Each cell in the body needs a source of energy to survive and multiply, so cells break down sugars, fats, and amino acids to make energy to exist. Small enclosures within cells that make this energy are called mitochondria. Mitochondria in other words are the microscopic "power plants" in your cell. In these mitochondria, the raw materials from foods are processed by enzymes to produce fuel to stoke virtually every cell in the body. CoQ10 molecules shuttle electrons back and forth between these enzymes. CoQ10 is essential in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the basic energy molecule of each individual cell. In the bloodstream, CoQ10 is mainly transported by lipoproteins such as LDL and HDL. It is thought that CoQ10 is one of the first antioxidants to be depleted when LDL is subjected to oxidation. Thus, CoQ10 is an important nutrient that prevents the oxidation of lipoproteins, thus potentially reducing the risk of arteries from forming plaques and getting damaged. In healthy individuals,
If there is a deficiency of CoQ10 an "energy deficiency" develops resulting in damage to tissues, including brain, heart and muscle cells.
CoQ10 is found in high concentrations in the
heart, kidneys, and liver.
CoQ10 supplements are commonly found in three forms: as capsules containing yellow powder, softgels with CoQ10 dissolved in a natural oil base, or tablets.
All are considered equally effective. If yo don't see results from one form, try another, as you may not be absorbing that particular form.
Currently CoQ10 is a supplement that should be used as part of a long-term health regimen. Long-term therapy with 10 to 60 mg a few days a
week seems a reasonable option for many individuals. Particularly it should be used by anyone who has a history of cardiovascular conditions since this is where its greatest benefits reside (please see product benefits section for further information).
CoQ10 is a fat soluble compound, so it is absorbed more effectively when taken with a meal that includes a health fat. While there are no known adverse effects of taking CoQ10, high doses may lead to insomnia.
