Coenzyme Q10 (Co-Q10)
Coenzyme Q10, or Co-Q10, is a powerful antioxidant and heart nutrient that provides an essential spark in the production of energy. Research on this vitamin/enzyme-like substance has focused mainly on those with severe heart problems.
As you might suspect, the highest concentrations of Co-Q10 are found in the heart. Typical daily dosages of Co-Q10 are as follows:
30-100 mg General health
90-160 mg Heavy exercisers
60-160 mg Family history of heart problems
100-200 mg Mild heart problems
200-300 mg If taking Statin drugs
300-360 mg Congestive heart problems
1,200 mg Those with Parkinson's
In general, the more severe your heart problems, the greater the benefit Coenzyme Q10 will be.
