Omegalife CoQ10 Review

Product Features

CoQ10 or Ubidecarenone is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that can also be obtained through proper diet. Rich food sources of CoQ10 are beef, peanuts, liver and kidneys or soybeans. Supplements based on this nutrient are also available in numerous forms (liquid, tablets, powders, or capsules) and are offered by a large number of dietary supplements manufacturers. Consumers should pay attention to the dosage (it is very important to follow the prescribed dosage, preferably by an informed healthcare practitioner).
CoQ10 is considered one of the most powerful natural antioxidants and because of this quality it has been the subject of numerous studies. It has been researched as a treatment for various types of cancer, immune system conditions (including HIV/AIDS), cognitive disorders (Parkinson’s disease), fertility problems, and least but not last, heart related conditions (with promising results in the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure ).
However, existing evidence in most of the health claims is considered insufficient or inconclusive. More research is recommended and is currently being conducted in order to determine the extent of the CoQ10 benefits and the safety of CoQ10 supplements in humans.

For healthy adults, the recommended dosage varies from 5-30 mg daily. Such an amount can be obtained through healthy dieting. However, for those who suffer from heart conditions, want to reduce the symptoms of such a disease, or are interested in preventing cardiovascular problems the recommended dose is around 100 mg per day. These dosages should be established with the help of a specialized healthcare practitioner. These supplements are considered likely safe. No major side effects have been reported. Also CoQ10 toxicity is considered highly unlikely for most individuals.

Omegalife CoQ10 suggested dose is 1 capsule daily, or as prescribed by doctor.

Conclusion

Omegalife CoQ10 is advertised as a high quality supplement that offers a high amount of active ingredient per serving. Although this may be looked at as an indication for its high potency, such an increased amount of CoQ10 may become potentially dangerous for people who are already under medication (particularly the one prescribed to reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics, and anticoagulants in people who suffer from heart problems). The unwanted reactions should not be taken lightly, this is why the opinion of a specialized healthcare professional is always the best choice in these cases.

The supplement is marketed as free of artificial substances and other unwanted compounds (such as lactose, dairy products, and glucose) known to be responsible for a large number of allergies. However, the potency of this supplement is not backed up by scientific evidence (there are no mentioned clinical trials or studies involving the supplement) nor by consumers (reviews about the formula’s effectiveness are lacking at the moment).
