Want to promote good health? Start by protecting your cells.Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 or Ubiquinone) is a vitamin-like substance and antioxidant found in each cell of the human body. It is responsible for the production of the body’s cellular energy, ATP, and protects cells against the destructive effects of free radicals which cause disease and promote aging. CoQ10 has become a valued dietary supplement, widely used for the treatment of heart disease, stroke, heart failure, gum diseases, breast cancer, and Parkinson’s Disease. Clinical studies (see below) have also demonstrated that CoQ10 supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, diabetes control, and promoting healthy immune-system function. Although found naturally in foods such as fish, organ meats and peanuts, supplementing with CoQ10 provides a potent dose of this important nutrient that may be lacking in your diet. CoQ10 supplements are especially helpful to young bodybuilders and weightlifters with high energy demands.

Evidence For CoQ10
Heart failurePeople with heart failure have been found to have lower levels of CoQ10 in heart muscle cells. Double-blind research suggests that CoQ10 may reduce symptoms related to heart failure, such as shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, and swelling. CoQ10 is thought to increase energy production in the heart muscle, increasing the strength of the pumping action. However, recent human studies have not supported this.641 people with congestive heart failure were randomized to receive either CoQ10 (2 mg per kg body weight) or placebo plus standard treatment. People who took the CoQ10 had a significant reduction in symptom severity and fewer hospitalizations.32 patients with end-stage heart failure awaiting heart transplantation were randomized to receive either 60 mg of CoQ100 or placebo for 3 months. Patients who took the CoQ10 experienced a significant improvement in functional status, clinical symptoms, and quality of life, however there were no changes in echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or in objective markers.Another study randomized 55 patients with congestive heart failure to receive either 200 mg/day CoQ10 or placebo in addition to standard treatment. Although serum levels of CoQ10 increased in patients receiving CoQ10, CoQ10 didn't affect ejection fraction, peak oxygen consumption, or exercise duration.CardiomyopathySeveral small trials have found CoQ10 may be helpful for certain types of cardiomyopathy.
Parkinson's diseaseLower levels of CoQ10 have also been observed in people with Parkinson's disease. Preliminary research has found that increasing CoQ10 may increase levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is thought to be lowered in people with Parkinson's disease.A small, randomized controlled trial examined the use of 360 mg CoQ10 or placebo in 28 treated and stable Parkinson's disease patients. After 4 weeks, CoQ10 provided a mild but significant improvement in symptoms and significantly improved performance in visual function.
DiabetesIn a 12-week randomized controlled trial, 74 people with type 2 diabetes were randomized to receive either 100 mg CoQ10 twice daily, 200 mg/day fenofibrate (a lipid regulating drug), both or neither for 12 weeks. CoQ10 supplementation significantly improved blood pressure and glycemic control. However, two studies found that CoQ10 supplementation failed to find any effect on glycemic control.
Gum diseaseA small study looked at the topical application of CoQ10 to the periodontal pocket. Ten male periodontitis patients with 30 periodontal pockets were selected. During the first 3 weeks, the patients applied topical CoQ10. There was significant improvement in symptoms.
