The recommended daily dosage of CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) generally ranges between 100 mg and 200 mg for most people. However, specific doses can depend on the condition being treated:
- For general supplementation, 30 to 200 mg daily is common.
- For mitochondrial disorders or muscle weakness, doses can start at around 150-160 mg per day and may be increased.
- Heart failure or related conditions might require 30 to 300 mg daily.
- For diabetic nerve pain, 400 mg per day has been used.
- For fertility support, 200 mg daily is typical, with some cases using up to 600 mg, especially in IVF treatments.
- The highest recommended dose generally considered safe is up to 1,200 mg per day.
It is advised to consult a healthcare provider to determine the right dose because individual needs and conditions differ. CoQ10 is fat-soluble and best absorbed when taken with a meal containing fat.
