Description
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound crucial for cellular energy production within mitochondria and a potent antioxidant. Primarily produced via microbial fermentation, CoQ10 supplementation supports cardiovascular health, potentially reduces migraine frequency, may offer protection against neurodegenerative diseases, can improve fertility outcomes, and alleviates statin-induced myopathy. It is generally well-tolerated, although mild gastrointestinal issues, insomnia, or skin rashes may occur. Recommended dosages typically range from 100-600mg daily. CoQ10 exists in two primary forms: ubiquinone and ubiquinol, with ubiquinol considered more bioavailable, particularly for older individuals.
