Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a compound produced naturally by the body that helps enzymes carry out their normal bodily functions. CoQ10 is an antioxidant and is important for the growth and maintenance of cells. The highest levels are found in the liver, kidneys and heart, and these levels decrease over time with age. Adequate levels of this coenzyme are important, which is why lower levels of CoQ10 can be associated with poor health conditions.

According to the British Medical Journal (BMJ), studies suggest that taking CoQ10 may be a useful option in the effective management of heart disease, with other sources pointing to a reduction in blood pressure after taking CoQ10. You must speak to your health professional before taking CoQ10, particularly if you are already taking medication to support a heart condition.

According to The Migraine Trust, there is also evidence to suggest that taking CoQ10 may help reduce headaches and increase energy levels. It is believed the link to this lies in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is an important substance involved in energy production and muscle contraction. If you experience migraines, it is important to speak with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes and establish the best treatment plan for you.
