Who and in which situations is a CoQ10 supplement usually recommended? — CoQ10, 100 mg - 50 Softgels, Swanson

Coenzyme Q10 is produced by the body itself, but its level does not remain constant throughout life. With age, the body's own synthesis of CoQ10 decreases, which is one reason why people over 40 more often consider it as a dietary supplement.

Another group is people who lead an active lifestyle or exercise regularly. Tissues with high energy turnover, first of all the heart muscle and skeletal muscles, depend especially on a sufficient level of CoQ10, since it takes part in the cellular processes of energy production.

The supplement is also considered during periods of chronic stress, lack of sleep or increased loads: states in which oxidative stress is intensified and CoQ10 performs an antioxidant function, helping to protect cells.

It is important to understand that Swanson CoQ10 is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended for the treatment or prevention of any disease and does not replace a full diet. If you take medicines (especially statins, which according to a number of studies may affect the level of CoQ10 in the body) or have chronic diseases, consult a doctor before starting to take it. The product is intended for adults only; during pregnancy and breastfeeding, taking it without consulting a doctor is not recommended. The product contains soybean oil and soy lecithin, so it is not suitable if you are allergic to soy.
