CoQ10 or its active form, ubiquinol, are extremely popular supplements with many potential uses. In our latest review, ConsumerLab.com found that not all CoQ10 and ubiquinol brands provide their listed ingredient. And large variations in CoQ10 and ubiquinol from brand-to-brand can make it difficult to choose the right dosage and form.
Among 41 CoQ10 and ubiquinol products, suggested daily servings ranged from 22 mg to 600 mg and some products were “solubilized” to deliver more than twice as much CoQ10 into the blood as simple capsules. ConsumerLab.com’s tests showed that one CoQ10 product provided only 87% of its claimed ingredient, despite indicating that it was made under the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
CoQ10 and ubiquinol may help in congestive heart failure, migraine headache, and Parkinson's disease and benefit many other conditions including hypertension and muscular dystrophy. CoQ10 may potentially help reverse side-effects associated with statin drugs -- which depress natural CoQ10 levels. An appropriate dose will depend on the condition for which it is being used and the type of formulation, as some are much more soluble than others.
