CoQ10 is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell in the body. CoQ10 has properties similar to vitamins, but since it is naturally synthesized in the body it is not classified as a vitamin. CoQ10 plays a key role in producing energy in our cells. Scientists from the University of North Texas Health Science Center and the University of California reported that prolonged, high-dose use of CoQ10 may speed up the loss of cognitive function association with aging.
Scientific data that shows substantial health benefits of CoQ10 supplementation for people suffering from angina, heart attack and hypertension and for people on statins to off-set Co-O depleting effects of medication. These studies were based on low dose usage. Health concerns have arisen due to experiments on mice that have shown high dosages were associated with decreases in hearing and response to shock stimuli, as well as an impairment of the spatial learning and memory.
A typical CoQ10 dosage is 30 to 90 mg per day, taken in divided doses, but the recommended amount can be as high as 200 mg per day. It is not recommended that CoQ10 be taken over 500 mg per day. It is better absorbed when taken with a meal that contains oil or fat and clinical effects may take up to eight weeks.
Other health concerns associated with CoQ10 have been for those patients suffering from heart disease, kidney failure or cancer. CoQ10 may be detrimental in lower blood sugar levels. People suffering from diabetes should not use CoQ10 unless under a doctor's supervision. There are not any studies involving CoQ10 with pregnant women or in children. It is therefore recommended that CoQ10 not be taken due to potential unknown health concerns.
If your health concerns are turning to adding supplements to your diet, make sure that you purchase from a high quality manufacturer that creates the product in the U.S. Examine the label to ensure a majority of the active ingredients are present.
Always consult with your major medical provider or physician before making any changes to your dietary regiment. This information is supplied for educational purposes only.
