CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10)

This test is used to assess blood levels of CoQ10 and will enable more precise dosing for anyone seeking to achieve and maintain high blood levels of Coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. It is known to be highly concentrated in heart muscle cells due to the high energy requirements of this cell type. CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.
