Coenzyme Q10 CoQ10

CoQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in every cell of our body, and to date, there are no reported cases where Co Q10 supplementation is unsafe. It plays a pivotal role in energy distribution and transference required for every cell function. Q10 is an essential coenzyme in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the basic energy molecule of every cell.

CoQ10 is mainly recognized for it's vital role in heart health and disease prevention, but it also plays a vast role in energy distribution throughout the entire body as well as mental acumen and clarity.

As with any medication or dietary supplement, please consult your primary care giver before adding CoQ10 supplements to your diet , especially if you have heart disease, kidney failure, or cancer.

Though the recommended daily dosage of CoQ10 has not been established the supplement is commonly sold in doses of 10 t0 100 mg capsules and may be found in many multivitamin tablets. One of the lowest prices I have found for Coenzyme Q10 is the Coq10 100 100 mg 100 Soft Gels by Swanson Ultra.

On average, a person will ingest only 3 to 5 mg of CoQ10 per day through their diet. To compensate for this low intake, it is common to take a supplemental dose between 30 and 60 mg. per day. If you are currently involved in a doctor prescribed therapeutic regime, your recommended dose may be much higher, 100-300 mg. per day. In Clinical studies, testing amounts have been know to go as high as 1200 mg a day. But that amount was under strict doctor supervision.

The best source of CoQ10 in ones diet are from meat, poultry and fish. Other great sources that can be added to ones diet that have a good source of CoQ10 include...
soybeans
canola oils
nuts
fruits
vegetables
eggs
and dairy products
