CoQ10 decreases inflammation in your body and improves mitochondrial function, which helps reduce migraine-associated pain A three-month study in 45 women demonstrated that those treated with mg of CoQ10 per day experienced significant reductions in the frequency, severity and duration of migraines, compared to a placebo group For treating migraines, the typical dosage recommendation for CoQ10 is — mg per day As mentioned above, CoQ10 levels naturally deplete with age.
Thankfully, supplements can raise your levels of CoQ10 and may even improve your overall quality of life. Older adults with higher blood levels of CoQ10 tend to be more physically active and have lower levels of oxidative stress, which may help prevent heart disease and cognitive decline CoQ10 supplements have been shown to improve muscle strength, vitality and physical performance in older adults Both oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have been linked to the onset and progression of diabetes and diabetes-related complications Studies show that supplementing with CoQ10 helps reduce the production of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm your health if their numbers get too high.
CoQ10 also helps improve insulin resistance and regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. A week study in 50 people with diabetes found that those who received mg of CoQ10 per day had significant reductions in blood sugar, markers of oxidative stress and insulin resistance, compared to the control group Doses of — mg of CoQ10 per day appear to improve diabetes symptoms Oxidative damage is one of the main causes of both male and female infertility by negatively affecting sperm and egg quality 29 , For example, oxidative stress can cause damage to sperm DNA, potentially resulting in male infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss Research has found that dietary antioxidants — including CoQ10 — may help reduce oxidative stress and improve fertility in both men and women.
Supplementing with — mg per day of CoQ10 has been shown to improve sperm concentration, density and motility in men with infertility Similarly, these supplements may improve female fertility by stimulating ovarian response and help slow ovarian aging CoQ10 doses of — mg have been shown to help boost fertility CoQ10 supplements help reduce the inflammation associated with heavy exercise and may even speed recovery A 6-week study in German athletes found that those who supplemented with mg of CoQ10 daily experienced significant improvements in physical performance — measured as power output — compared to a placebo group CoQ10 has also been shown to reduce fatigue and increase muscle power in non-athletes Doses of mg per day appear to be most effective in boosting athletic performance in research studies Arch Neurol.

Coenzyme Q10 supplementation in the management of statin-associated myalgia. Am J Health Syst Pharm. Taylor BA. While these are exciting findings, messaging to patients about CoQ10, particularly in the popular media, is often confusing, leading to less than optimal results and poor supplement choice. Found in almost every cell of the body, CoQ10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance that helps convert food into energy.
A powerful antioxidant that protects against damage from toxic free radicals, CoQ10 is produced by the body and is also found in many foods , with higher levels in organ meats, such as liver or kidneys; as well as sardines, mackerel, chicken, cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus.
There are two forms of CoQ ubiquinone and ubiquinol. Ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form of CoQ10, is made in the body from ubiquinone. As we age, the levels of both forms drop. As early as age 20, the amount of ubiquinone our bodies produce begins to drop.
Compounding the problem, the body also loses its ability to make ubiquinol from ubiquinone. CoQ10 has not been shown to be of value in treating cancer , but it may reduce the risk of heart damage caused by one type of cancer chemotherapy drug. Only a few studies have looked at whether CoQ10 might help prevent heart disease , and their results are inconclusive. Research on the effects of CoQ10 in heart failure is also inconclusive.
However, there is evidence that CoQ10 may reduce the risk of some complications of heart surgery. Although results of individual studies have varied, the overall scientific evidence does not support the idea that CoQ10 can reduce muscle pain caused by the cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins.
