Why Measure CoQ10 Levels?

Energy Production at the Cellular Level

CoQ10 is a cornerstone of cellular energy production, playing a central role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Adequate CoQ10 levels are necessary for supporting energy output, cellular repair, and resilience against the damage that occurs through normal aging.

Tailored Supplementation

Testing CoQ10 levels allows for more precise dosing, ensuring formula decisions meet individual needs. This is especially important for those seeking to maintain optimal antioxidant protection and mitochondrial function.

Knowing your CoQ10 Levels: Support Energy Through Aging

Monitoring CoQ10 levels is a proactive step toward optimizing health and longevity. Whether you're managing a condition, taking medications that impact CoQ10, or simply seeking to support your body’s natural energy production, this test provides the clarity you need to make informed
decisions.

Factors That Impact CoQ10 Levels

Aging: Research shows that CoQ10 levels decline naturally with age, potentially impacting energy production and antioxidant defenses.

Health Conditions: Low CoQ10 levels are often observed in individuals with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular issues, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic irregularities.

Medications: Lipid altering substances can significantly impact CoQ10 production by inhibiting its synthesis in the liver. Monitoring levels is essential for those on such protocols.

What This Test Reveals

This test provides a precise measurement of CoQ10 in the blood, helping identify suboptimal levels.

Knowing your CoQ10 status is critical for anyone looking to support:

Cardiovascular Health: Heart cells rely on CoQ10 for their energy-intensive functions.

Mitochondrial Function: CoQ10 helps protect mitochondria from oxidative damage, promoting cellular energy and longevity.

Antioxidant Defense: As a potent antioxidant, CoQ10 neutralizes free radicals and supports overall cellular health.

Coenzyme Q10 and NAD+

CoQ10, also known as Coenzyme Q10, is a powerful antioxidant that protects and supports proper mitochondrial health. It is a well-known free radical scavenger for mitochondrial and lipid membranes. In addition to its antioxidant properties, it is directly involved in the electron transport chain reaction that leads to the production of ATP. (1)

NAD+ also plays a critical role in the electron transport chain. NAD+ functions as the primary electron donor in the reaction, also known as oxidative phosphorylation, and is the main initiator of that reaction. The outcome of oxidative phosphorylation is the production of the molecule ATP. This process is severely disturbed in mitochondrial-associated disorders, chronic fatigue conditions, and inflammatory diseases which are directly correlated with decreased NAD+ levels.

Why Checking Your Blood Level of Coenzyme Q10 is Critical

When it comes to mitochondrial support, NAD+ and CoQ10 are inextricably linked. Together, their protective and energy-producing capacities support optimal mitochondrial health in every cell of the body, especially the brain. When CoQ10 levels in the body are low, proper NAD+ function is compromised.

This test measures blood levels of the antioxidant CoQ10, a coenzyme that is made in the body and is needed for the production of energy by nearly all cells.

What Decreases CoQ10?

Your cells use CoQ10 for growth and maintenance. Levels of CoQ10 in your body decrease as you age. CoQ10 levels have also been found to be lower in people with certain conditions, such as heart disease, and in those who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.

CoQ10 and Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is a frequent aging-related problem. CoQ10 is found to have an anti-inflammatory function via epigenetic effects on the expression of genes.

CoQ10, by reduction of free radicals, reduces the activation of NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) cells and consequently reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines mainly tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) (2).

Aging-related reduced CoQ10 levels may contribute to inflammation and there is accumulating evidence of secondary anti-inflammatory effects of CoQ10 supplementation.

A recent meta-analysis provided evidence that CoQ10 supplementation significantly reduced the inflammatory markers CRP (C-reactive protein), IL-6 and TNF-α (3, 4)
