Information on CoQ10

Studies have used daily doses of CoQ10 ranging from 50 milligrams (mg) to 1,200 mg in adults. A typical daily dose for someone who has a CoQ10 deficiency is 100-200 mg, while the observed safe level is 1,200 mg per day.

You can get some CoQ10 from dietary sources such as chicken, beef, pork, sardines, spinach, or soybeans. However, the average daily intake is very low. Subnormal serum coenzyme Q10 levels have been observed in patients with advanced heart failure, type 2 Diabetes, neurodegenerative disease (including Parkinson’s Disease, and even certain types of cancers like breast cancer.

Although there is a low toxicity with CoQ10, there are some medications that potentially interact with, or cause reduced effectiveness. Your IM of CNY provider can review and discuss this with you, and make appropriate recommendations for CoQ10 on your wellness plan.
