Coenzyme Q10 Blood Test

Use:

This test is used to monitor the blood level of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) which will ensure more precise dosing for anyone looking to achieve and maintain high levels of this important antioxidant.

Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like compound produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of all cells. Coenzyme Q10 is found naturally in food, with highest concentrations in organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and kidney.

The CoQ10 blood level is reported to decrease with age and to be low in those who have chronic diseases. Examples are a heart condition, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS.
