CoQ10 60mg

COQ10 In 60mg POTENCY?

Did you know that Coenzyme Q10 (most often referred to simply as CoQ10) is a vitamin-like compound that is critical to the body’s production of cellular energy? CoQ10 is present in all of our cells and tissues but is especially concentrated in the heart, liver, and kidneys.

We make some CoQ10 endogenously (inside the body), but unfortunately, this natural production tends to wane as we get older (in fact, production starts to dip as early as age 20, and then gradually speeds up). Some foods like organ meats (heart, liver, and kidneys), meat (beef, chicken, and, pork), fatty fish, as well as vegetables (primarily cruciferous), and some fruits and legumes also contain CoQ10. CoQ10 supplements are also widely available in multiple potencies, forms, and formats.

CoQ10 supplementation is frequently used as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger to protect cell membranes, blood vessels, and more. This explains why it has been studied extensively for its potential in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. It’s also frequently used to optimize blood lipid levels (cholesterol, and triglycerides), as well as to lower blood pressure and enhance blood sugar metabolism.

Who Needs COQ10 60mg?

A CoQ10 supplement may be recommended to you if you’re looking to promote optimal heart function, reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease (especially if you have a family history of heart disease), as well as are hoping to boost immunity and overall energy.

A high-potency 60mg CoQ10, dosed one or more times daily, offers strong antioxidant support to protect overall health, as well as promotes optimal energy and performance during physical activity, so great for athletes, bodybuilders, and the gym crowd in general. If you suffer from a diagnosed medical condition, especially a cardiovascular condition, your health care practitioner will likely recommend a higher dose.

COQ10 Q10 60mg Supplements

CoQ10 supplements can be purchased in capsules, softgels, caplets, and liquids, as well as in fun chewable forms. Supplement labels will list either ubiquinone, the fully oxidized form of CoQ10; or ubiquinol, the fully reduced form of CoQ10, the latter of which is the active form. The biggest difference between the two is that the body must first convert ubiquinone to ubiquinol to be able to use it, whereas ubiquinol is ready to use (pre-digested if you will). In addition, some studies suggest that ubiquinol is up to 8 times more absorbable than ubiquinone. Younger individuals likely won’t have a hard time converting ubiquinone, but our ability to convert it naturally decreases as we age, so older individuals will likely get more benefit from ubiquinol.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant, and as such, may affect the potency of certain medications like antihypertensive drugs, antiplatelet medication, and anticoagulants, as well as cancer medications. If you're on these medications, speak to your doctor before starting to take CoQ10.

While coenzyme Q10 is generally well-tolerated, it can cause mild side effects including upset stomach, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can also cause a dip in blood pressure. In such instances, it's important to monitor your blood pressure closely.
