Recommended Coq10 Dosages

Soft Gel Tech Develops Israeli Heart Supplement

LOS ANGELES– Soft Gel Technologies Inc . developed and manufactured Ta’am Teva Altman ’s recently launched cholesterol-lowering supplement, No-Sterol, expanding Soft Gel’s presence in Israel. No-Sterol contains recommended dosages of phytosterol, omega-3 fatty acids and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), all of which have been linked to cardiovascular health.

In May 2011, the Israeli Heart Association followed the American Heart Association’s (AHA) recommendation to consume omega-3 fatty acids and phytosterols for cardiovascular health.  Approximately 150 to 400mg of phytosterol is consumed from food sources, and raising the daily intake to an average of 2 grams utilizing dietary supplements can lead to the reduction of cholesterol levels by 10 percent to 15 percent, according to the Israeli Heart Association. 

The Israeli Health Ministry has aligned itself with FDA’s amended regulation that authorizes a health claim regarding the relationship between phytosterols and reduced risk of coronary heart disease. 

Steve Holtby, president and CEO, Soft Gel Technologies Inc., discusses how CoQ10 benefits heart health in a recent INSIDER article, “ Scoring a Perfect 10 ."

Ta'am Teva Altman promotes its products through physicians, dietitians, Naturopaths and acupuncturists as well as CAM practitioners. They distribute to retailers including pharmacies, drug stores, HMOs and Health food stores.  Ta'am Teva Altman is owned by the Maabarot Group.

Recommended CoQ10 Dosage

Coenzyme Q10 is the third most popular supplement on the market today. If you're wondering how much CoQ10 you should take, this article will help you get an idea of what's right for you.

Depending on why you're taking CoQ10, the amount you'll want to take will be different. If you're taking it for a specific condition, you may need to experiment with different amounts of the supplement until your symptoms improve.

Research has shown that 1200mg per day is safe and even as high as 3600mg per day is tolerated well by most people, but in most cases it's not necessary to take that much and the higher the amount taken the higher the likelihood of mild side effects like diarrhea and nausea.

For migraines, one study found that only 15mg of CoQ10 was enough to reduce 61% of patients' migraines by 50%.

A 2002 study found that 1400mg per day slowed the progression of Parkinson's disease by 44%.

Researchers have found that 200-600mg per day of CoQ10 is beneficial for people suffering with chronic fatigue.

Several studies have shown benefits for people with congestive heart failure at levels as low as 30mg per day. Other studies have found improvements in heart function in amounts between 100mg and 200mg.

If you're just taking CoQ10 for its overall health benefits and not for any specific condition, 30-100mg per day is a good place to start. Many of the available CoQ10 supplements come in 100mg tablets. All content published on HealthDiaries.com is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
