Can Anyone Take Coenzyme Q10?

While it's generally considered to be safe for healthy adults, CoQ10 can be potentially harmful to people with certain conditions or those taking certain medications. The typical dose ranges from 100 mg of CoQ10 or 25 mg of ubiquinol daily for generally healthy people not taking any medications.

Who should not take CoQ10?

People with chronic diseases such as heart failure, kidney or liver problems, or diabetes should be wary of using this supplement. CoQ10 may lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure.

Who needs to take CoQ10?

Many healthcare providers suggest individuals over the age of 50 take at least 100 mg of CoQ10 supplement per day AND add an additional 100 mg for every decade of life thereafter. If you don't supplement, at age 80, it's believed that the levels of CoQ10 are lower than they were at birth!
