CO LIGHT 100 MG 60 CAP

Benefits & Uses

• Supports cellular energy production, as CoQ10 is found in every cell of the body and is involved in producing energy for the different membranes of body organs.
• Acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the body from damage caused by free radicals and helping maintain protection against early aging signs.
• Helps replenish CoQ10 levels that naturally decline with age, as concentrations in body tissues decrease significantly over time.
• May be used to support those taking statin medications, who may have decreased CoQ10 levels and can benefit from supplementation of 100-200 mg per day for 2-3 weeks to reach maximum serum concentration.

Usage & Dosage

• The recommended dose may vary according to individual need or case.
• Those who are older, suspect they have decreased CoQ10 levels due to illness, or are using statin medication may want to start with 100-200 mg per day for 2-3 weeks to reach maximum serum concentration.
• After the initial 2-3 weeks, 50-100 mg per day is a good maintenance dose.
• The normal daily intake for a healthy person may reach 100 mg per day, preferably taken in divided doses.

Safety & Warnings

• Co-Q10 may decrease the effectiveness of warfarin. Those taking warfarin should be aware of this possibility.
• Due to lack of long-term safety studies, pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid Co-Q10 supplements.
• Consult your doctor if you are using any medicines that treat high blood pressure.

Interactions

• Co-Q10 may decrease the effectiveness of warfarin; those taking warfarin should be aware of this possibility.

• Those taking statin medications may want to start supplementing with 100-200 mg per day for 2-3 weeks to reach maximum serum concentration, then reduce to a maintenance dose of 50-100 mg per day.

Science & Evidence

• CoQ10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance that plays a dual role in the body: supporting cellular energy production and acting as an antioxidant defense.
• CoQ10 is found in every cell of the body and is involved in the production of cellular energy for the different membranes of the body's organs.
• CoQ10 is the only endogenously synthesized lipid-soluble antioxidant, meaning the body produces it naturally, and it works to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
• CoQ10 concentration in body tissues decreases with age. When the CoQ10 level in the heart at age 20 is set as a baseline of 100%, that level drops to 42.9% by the age of 80.
• Individuals who are older, suspect decreased CoQ10 levels due to illness, or are taking statin medications may have a greater need for CoQ10 supplementation.
• The raw material source for this product is Kaneka Co., the supplier of the CoQ10 ingredient used in Co Light 100 Mg capsules.
