How much CoQ10 should you take?

There is no established ideal dose of CoQ10. Studies have used doses of CoQ10 ranging from 50 milligrams to 1,200 milligrams in adults, sometimes split into several doses over the course of a day. A typical daily dose is 100 milligrams to 200 milligrams. Follow the instructions on the bottle or get advice from your doctor or a dietitian. Keep in mind that different supplement brands might have different ingredients and strengths.

Hi Beryl,

I don't believe there is a clear answer, but in this study where multiple people with differing forms of SCA showed benefit from CoQ10 the median dosage was 600 mg per day. It is my experience and belief that for most self administered supplements "more is better", but in this case I have opted for 400 mg daily for myself.

Best wishes,

Joe
