What is Ubiquinone?

Ubiquinone is a vitamin-like compound that is naturally produced in the body. Ubiquinone can also be referred to as CoQ-10, Coenzima, Ubidcarenone, Ubidecarenone, and Ubiquinol.

Ubiquinone is believed to be effective in alternative medicine to aid in treating deficiency of coenzyme Q-10 or alleviating the symptoms associated with mitochondrial diseases (conditions that impact energy production within the cells of your body).

Ubiquinone can also be effective in stopping migraine headaches, decreasing blood pressure, reducing the amount of tissue damage that occurs following surgery, or preventing a third heart attack. Ubiquinone may also be helpful in reducing symptoms for people who suffer from congestive heart disease, nerve disorders due to MS, diabetes, and fibromyalgia. It can also help with muscular dystrophy or a physical defect in the penis (such as Peyronie's disease).

Ubiquinone is also used to treat Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, diabetes (Lou Gehrig's disease), fatigue caused by using cancer drugs, signs of Parkinson's disease, or the symptoms of muscle that affect those who have survived Polio. However, research has revealed that ubiquinone might not be efficient in the treatment of these diseases.

The research has also shown that ubiquinone does not appear to improve athletic performance or slow the progress of Huntington's disease.

Other uses that have not been proven by research include treatment of the symptoms of asthma, COPD and diabetes, cancer, heart conditions, hepatitis C kidney, as well as muscle pains that result from taking statin cholesterol medications, and other diseases.
