Side Effects of COQ10 Info

Actually, that's bit of a fabrication. The truth is, COQ10 supplements are synthetic and almost completely unassimilated! (And they're very expensive.) There is a work around, though. You can get the body to produce its own amount by making sure your supplement has vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and pantothenic acid.

Therefore, we suggest getting it by way of a full, comprehensive supplement with multiple nutrients. On average, if you live to the age of 80, your body's supply of COQ10 will be half that of when you were 20. The body needs COQ10 for many functions.

COQ10 substance loss causes the degeneration of cells, which researchers believe contributes to age-related diseases and conditions like arthritis, hypertension, heart disease, myopathy (muscle tissue disease and/or loss), and the breakdown of skin. Simply put, the older you get, the more you need COQ10.

COQ10 Side Effects -- Precautions

Basic side effects of COQ10 are nausea, upset stomach, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. However, COQ10 side effects are very uncommon. Yes, there are no side effects with COQ10 antioxidant per se, but if you are taking statin, cholesterol lowering drugs, you need to know the side effects for they could be life threatening! Statin prescription drugs like Lipitor, Zocor, or Mevacor actually deplete COQ10 antioxidant. One doctor, Dr. Peter Langsjoen believes COQ10-lowering effects of statins actually contribute to the increase of congestive heart failure.

Choosing A COQ10 Supplement

People need 30mg to 100mg a day but as COQ10 is synthetic and very expensive what is the option? I recommend taking a multi-vitamin supplement that has what the body needs to generate its own supply of COQ10. Again, make sure your supplement has vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and pantothenic acid as well as gugulipid extract for maximum synergistic effect.

The supplements should be produced at pharmaceutical standard GMP registered facilities. They should also have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on file for review by you confirming the potency of the ingredients listed on the label.

Enteric coated tablets is also recommended as it preserves the nutrients through the stomach until it can get into the upper intestine for assimilation. Enteric coating is also important as skeptics say COQ10 loses its nutritional quality when traveling through the harsh gastric acids of the stomach.

Side Effects of COQ10

After years of research, I finally came across a company that meets all the requirements as outlined above. There is a company that meets all the above criteria. They are based in New Zealand where regulatory requirements are stricter than even FDA standards. Their multivitamin supplement product has over 70 vitamins, minerals, specialty trace nutrients, enzymes, and herbal extracts.

This multivitamin multimineral herbal supplement actually doesn't have Coenzyme Q10 in it.

As mentioned, key nutrients in the body, which this supplement has in it, actually help the body make the necessary COQ10! Give the body the nutrients it needs, and it'll do the rest. If you take the recommended daily dose of this world-class pharmaceutical grade quality vitamin supplement (6 tablets per day), your body will actually produce at least as much COQ10 as if you had taken a 100mg tablet of CoQ10.

Therefore, we do recommend that you don't take a COQ10 supplement -- instead take the nutrients that create it.

In addition, if you'd like more information on COQ10 and the benefits of COQ10, I offer this more comprehensive COQ10 information page on this website as well. I've been taking this New Zealand company's multivitamin (and other products) for some time and can attest to its benefits. 

I have more energy, better sleep, and better overall health. While there is no Recommended Daily Allowance of CoEnzyme Q10, it's recommended you take 30 mg to 100mg a day.
