CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone)
Key Benefits
Energy Production
Critical for ATP synthesis in mitochondria, supporting cellular energy generation.
Cardiovascular Health
Supports heart function and may reduce statin-related muscle pain.
Antioxidant Protection
Protects cells from oxidative damage and supports healthy aging.
Activation Synergies
Omega-3s enhance CoQ10 absorption and both support mitochondrial function and cardiovascular health through complementary mechanisms.
CoQ10 helps regenerate vitamin E, creating a synergistic antioxidant network for cellular protection.
Magnesium is required for ATP synthesis alongside CoQ10, enhancing energy production at the cellular level.
Recommended Dosage
medical_servicesUbiquinol form is more bioavailable than ubiquinone, especially for those over 40. Take with fats for absorption. Especially important if on statin medications.
Deficiency Indicators
- Chronic fatigue
- Muscle weakness or pain (especially with statins)
