Is Coenzyme q10 Necessary?
Coenzyme Q10 is not high in the human body at birth, and the content reaches its peak around the age of 20. After the age of 25, the ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10 gradually declines. With age, the coenzyme Q10 in various organs and tissues in the body gradually decreases. The decrease in CoQ10 in the heart was even more pronounced. The total content of coenzyme Q10 in the human body is 500-1500 mg. When the content of coenzyme Q10 in the human body is reduced by 25%, various diseases will appear, so exogenous supplementation of coenzyme Q10 is very necessary.
How Much Coenzyme Q10 Should I Take?
If it is only used to maintain the health of the body, the daily supplement of coenzyme Q10 is about 30-60 mg. If it is increased to 100-300 mg per day due to the special needs of the patient, it is recommended to take it several times. About 60-100 mg each time.
In general, the total amount of coenzyme Q10 taken daily should not exceed 400mg. Excessive use may affect one's own function or cause dependence.
Since coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance, taking coenzyme Q10 and eating foods rich in fat can improve the intestinal absorption rate. Therefore, taking it half an hour after a meal has the best effect, and it can also reduce the stimulation of coenzyme Q10 on the gastrointestinal tract.
