CoQ10 goes by many names, including Co Q10, Coenzyme Q10, Ubiquinone, and Vitamin Q. This compound is found in virtually every cell in the body, and it can have an effect on many ailments, including heart disease.

Studies indicate that many people who suffer from heart failure have lower levels of CoQ10, and there have been many studies that indicate higher CoQ10 levels can lead to increased quality of life and heart function in many heart disease patients. Many researchers believe that CoQ10 helps with heart-related symptoms like shortness of breath, and helps the heart pump stronger. These claims have not been substantiated by studies.

The standard dosage of CoQ10 varies. It is often between 30 and 90 mg a day, but it can go higher. As with all medications and supplements, you should check with your doctor before you begin taking CoQ10.
