How should Coenzyme Q10 be used? Are there any side effects?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as decenequinone and ubiquinone, is a type of coenzyme Q. Coenzyme Q has a side chain composed of 6 to 10 isoprene, and the degree of polymerization of this side chain of coenzyme Q10 is 10. Ubiquitin (oxidized form) and ubiquinol (reduced form) are distributed on the cell membrane respectively. They are mainly responsible for electron and proton transport. They play a vital role in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate and are also the main components that provide energy for cardiomyocytes. A large number of medical studies have proven that heart disease is related to the lack of Coenzyme Q10. In the field of medicine and health products, it is mainly used to strengthen myocardial function. It is the most effective antioxidant ingredient to prevent the formation of arteriosclerosis and is also the main synergistic drug for various cardiovascular diseases.

So, how should you use Coenzyme Q10? Are there any side effects?

Recommended dosage of Coenzyme Q10: approximately 30mg-60mg per day. The content of a single pill or tablet of Coenzyme Q10 is more than 30mg. Taking it once or twice a day, usually about half an hour after a meal, can reduce the irritation of Coenzyme Q10 to the gastrointestinal tract.

Side effects of Coenzyme Q10: abdominal discomfort, bloating, skin itching, nausea, allergic erythema, abdominal burning sensation, etc. Finally, the editor of Medical Companion Travel would like to remind patients who are currently using Coenzyme Q10 that there has been a lot of loose news recently saying that if the patient feels that the drug is not effective after using it, the drug dose can be increased, or that the drug dose can be reduced if the side effects are too great during the medication. These are not scientifically based. Only by following the doctor's instructions can the drug itself be used to its greatest extent.
