CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is naturally made in the body and is necessary to sustain life. This vitamin-like substance may be low in people who have certain medical conditions, so supplements may be necessary.
It has been shown to help with mitochondrial diseases, Parkinson's disease, migraines, and male infertility. CoQ10 works within the cells to produce ATP, prevent oxidation damage, and stabilize cellular membranes.
Potential side effects of CoQ10 supplements include nausea, diarrhea, and heartburn. Prior to taking them, talk to your healthcare provider about any other medical conditions you have and any other medications you are taking. In addition, because supplements are not as closely regulated as drugs, make sure that your CoQ10 product comes from a trustworthy, reliable manufacturer.
