Today let's cover what CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is good for. A coenzyme is something that helps an enzyme. There are a lot of different enzymes in the body that go way beyond digestion. There are enzymes that help perform many different functions. They're proteins that are involved in all of the biochemical pathways in the body.
CoQ10 is found in every single cell in the body. It's a very powerful antioxidant, but its main job is to stabilize membranes, especially in areas of your body where you're generating a lot of energy. The membrane around the mitochondria (the energy factory) needs CoQ10. Lipoprotein membranes, as in HDL and LDL, also need CoQ10.
When you're generating a lot of energy, you're also generating a lot of free radical damage and oxidation. CoQ10 helps to counter that.
Statins block CoQ10. Blocking this enzyme can create a lot of side effects, especially muscle damage. If you're taking a statin, you may also want to take CoQ10.
If you have any nutritional deficiencies, you may also be deficient in CoQ10 because it sets you up for not creating CoQ10. If you have inflammatory conditions, you may also want to take CoQ10.
What is CoQ10 good for?
• It can help support the heart
• It may be good for athletes that generate a lot of oxidation
• It may be good for people who have migraines or headaches
• It may be good for people who have inflammation
• It may be good for people who take a lot of medication
• It could potentially help protect against cancer

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain what CoQ10 is good for.
In Germany, if a doctor prescribes you a statin drug without also prescribing CoQ10, he or she can be charged with malpractice.
truly ahead of their time
Helpful comments
In the UK, my elderly mother has been put on statins, I told her to speak with her doctor about supplementing coq10, she did and the doctor said he’d never heard of it…
@Dan I would put this in the realm of fantasy. In Germany almost no physician ever is sued because of malpractice. They even prescribe the most dangerous antibiotics like sweets for little children without any restriction and without sufficient reasons.
We in Germany always think, there are much better guidelines in the US.
@@user-abde Hmmm. Interesting to know, thanks. However, i wrote: "can be charged". Doctors here can be sued for malpractice too ( not for the reason above obviously) but it is still in the top 10 leading causes of death in America.
Been on statins for 20 years. Not one doctor EVER told me to take this. I started it on my own. Same with Vit D and K 2. Thanks for what you do to help us all be educated!
Do you take 3 together?
Yep....love all of Dr Berg's very informative videos!
Same here
Misskitty4296. Get off of the statin drugs. Niacin will do the same thing and not cause you to have altzheimers like statin drugs do.
Doctors don't often know anything about health. Review all medicines every year, they get paid a commish for each prescription they write.
He has such a soothing voice on top of advising you towards better health. Thank you!!!
Thank you Dr.
Blessed Sunday to all!
Thank you for this video and good timing on the information. Recently learned about Coq10 from a integrative veterinarian, so I've ordered a pet version for my senior cats.
Lord knows I love this man, so grateful for you🙏 PLEASE Don't change 🙏I learn soo much from you over the years
Very good 👍
he doesn't believe in the Lord, he believes in the eighth dynamic 😕
But I've been praying he finds out Jesus is the truth, the way, the life. Bc yeah we love Dr Berg!
The art of putting Doc.Berg's advice into practice and achieving a good result depends on four factors. 1) Patience. 2) Discipline, 3) dedication. 4) Concentration.

Don’t forget keto 😂
I just watch David Goggin videos. That guy gets me so pumped that ive started walking and running everyday and replaced sugary drinks like Coca Cola even orange juice with water instead. Ive gone from 210 pounds to 197 in 3 weeks. 190 pounds is my target 🎯
You are a life saver! My medical Dr. hadn't the foggiest idea what these side effects were. After following your Healthy Keto, I've lost 44lbs, lowered blood press., reduced A1C from 8.2, to 5.9, stopped the huffing and gasping for air, reduced back pain, etc. and took myself OFF of metformin, and all statins. I told my Dr. , and he told me I'm doing well! So, why the heck didn't he tell me what to do, in the first place, instead of Rx'ing me a lot of meds??? Thanks, my friend, for opening my eyes to the truth!
because the AMA prevents your doctor from promoting any non pharma treatments for last several decades
OMG, I am so happy for you!!!
No one should ever put their total trust on their MD! Your health in your hands.
He is an employee of the hospital or clinic and can only respond with the answers they tell him to give. If he has his own practice, he may get a part of the prescription fee each month or he may not know nearly as much as Dr.Berg
It’s today doctor just treat symptoms and do not care about causes
Thanks. I started taking this a few months ago and noticed a huge difference in the pain in my lower legs. I also went no carbs. No sugar. HIIT. Taking Choline, mct, beef liver. Lots 75 pounds. Dr has taken me off all my medications and I feel great. Now I'm maintaining my healthy life and enjoying it so much. Thank you
Did you change all things at once? Or did you change/add one at a time where you may have noticed which change/addition brought significant results?
Nice work bro
That’s awesome
@@salvatorelivreri I started with diet and exercise and added or stopped certain things based on what I noticed with sugar levels, fat loss, and blood pressure. Bodies react differently. But I'm okay with trying experiments.
Why do u take choline ??
Yup, I’ve taken it before and noticed the energy. Because I don’t trust media and all medicines I lapsed. But I’ve started again. It’s definitely noticeable . Thank you! Love it.
Mind sharing what brand you take?
@@Sunshine23194 I would like to know the same
Dear Doctor, your videos have so much crucial information on Health Benefits... Thanks a Million 🙏🏻
Hey dr. Berg....your videos did a magic in my life...i really wanted to thank you...from the bottom of my heart💚💚
When I started taking CoQ10 about 20 years ago I stopped having any bleeding from my gums when I had a cleaning. The dental hygienists are always amazed. I started at age 50 with 100mg, progressed to 200mg by 60, then to 200 AM and PM and am now on 400mg AM and PM at 71.
Why so much? What’s it doing to necessitate taking that much per day?
@@sweetpeace5 After age 40 the CoQ10 manufactured in our bodies begins to drop and continues to decline every year. So the older we get, the more CoQ10 we need to replace. And not all of what is taken is metabolized and made available to the heart.
@@1charlastar886 any recommend brand ?
@@sweetpeace5 As people age, natural production of CoQ10 by the heart decreases. That is why I increase dosage as I age. Any acute illness can affect the heart. As age progresses, even with healthy diet, acute illness becomes a greater risk.
@@cainbrady3123 No, but the Ubiquinol form is utilized by the body much more than regular CoQ10. Also, PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) increases effectiveness of CoQ10. Healthy people who took 20 mg of PQQ (for a 150-pound male) had a significant decrease in the levels of C-reactive protein (inflammation marker) by 45% after 3 weeks. A lower dosage didn’t decrease inflammation. Some supplement makers are now combining the 2 supplements.
Been taking after my Neurologist prescribed it along with Magnesium for my vastibular migraines. Goid to know that it has so many more benefits!
Yes!!! I've been waiting for you talk about this!!
Thank you Dr berg for your valuable video and add free content.
Love your short consise videos. TY
Thank you so much Dr.eric berg I depend on you a lot.i am not in good health due to bad eating but trying to improve.
Beautiful! Informative, clear, concise.
Thank you so much for your dedication and teaching us more about our beautiful body. I am learning so much.
I take this for endurance in low intensity cardio. Literally puts about 30% on my runs.
My dermatologist told me about Q10 and ALA over 20yrs ago..He was a good doctor.
Dr Berg your the best keep these coming amazing guy!!!
CoQ10 dramatically reduced all of my allergies. I still have allergies but they are reduced to the point I can actually play with a cat and not be sick for two weeks!
I love cats. That's awesome.
Best explaination I’ve heard, Thankyou, been using q10 for a while

I was rather frightened when I realized I was deficient of this at 26!! I took and felt 3 years younger. Take this and spread the word about it. My heart and circulation are much healthier.
Which brand did you take
Is this habit forming ?
Do you still take it now?
Yes’m. 200mg and it makes me excited.
@@pilotpete405 hello sir, Do you take allopurinol along with this, what are the things do you take for healthy life. I want to know your diet.. Like fish, meat, chicken etc.. Your reply helps.

That's great!!
That's awesome. I have tried doing the same, but my dad is stubborn or he just doesn't get. He is 75 and on lots of meds and I have bought lots of vitamins and supplements for him, but if he does take them, it's sporadically but never misses his RX meds.

Finally...I've been waiting for this video for a while!
Thanks, Dr Berg.....you nailed this big time....again...
You are very good at what you do, and I am very grateful.
Most people on a statin mostly complain about sore muscles mostly in their legs which happened to me! But what some
Doctors seem to miss out telling you is that your HEART is a Muscle as well. So yeah, Co Q 10 is a must if you been conned into taking a Statin.
You are brilliant ERIC sir, love from England 🏴
Good morning Dr.Berg and thank you very much god bless you and your family.
You just taught me a new thing....again.
Thank you Dr. Berg. 👍🏻
You're most welcome.
I took statins for a year and my muscles started cramping and twitching like crazy. I'm finally off statins and my muscles are almost normal again. Going to order some q10 now!
Thx Doc.You're simply the best. wishing you all happiness prosperity and success in years and years. cheers from SWEDEN P.S. Subbed 2
You are greatly appreciated !
Dr Berg how much do you recommend for someone just trying to fit it in to there daily supplements ?
So what does Dr Berg recommend? 200mg 1x per day?
Just looked into this today. Sounds wonderful and like I need it. Will be looking into it this week. I took a long time ago at sisters advice - think she said it helped her with “brain fog”. Time to revisit the benefits for sure!
I am so greatful to have listen to this, I stop taking CoQ10 I'm still not sure why, but have been in awful leg pain and not sleepy well and just overall tired. Thanks for posting things for health it gets people back on track. Thank you so much. I do take statins but had stop taking the CoQ10, I was told to take by my Dr. after heart problems. Again thank you.
Hi, if you can't sleep and you need to sleep better than that you can drink boil parsley water with lemons. Boil them together and drink the water it's good for a lot dease too.
for better sleep make a tea with lemons and parsley
Thank you! Amazing info!!🙏
Very useful supplement to manage
diabetics and have energy. I was also wondering if is it is better to use this for proper digestion than enzymes ?
Hi Dr. Berg, what kind of the benefit, combined Vitamin E ,Vitamin C and Q 10? Thank you!
Thank you Dr Berg for clarifying my doubts.
Doctor Berg... He's our Man !!!! If he doesnt cover it.... I'm rarely interested. ***THANKS DOC*** for the timely video !!
Thank you so much. Requesting you to kindly make an video on COCONUT MEAT as this is readily available and cheap in India. Avocado are expensive. Can it be replaced with avocado and chicken ( fat and protein). How can I incorporate COCONUT MEAT in my diet. I am following you and currently on OMAD from last 2 months. Will be very great full if you will enlighten me about coconut meat. Thank you so much once again. Stay blessed
About six years ago I took Co Q10 and I can tell that it helped my heart out a lot... and it seemed like it was right away... I would say take it and it will give you energy
AMEN 🙏🏽
Your awesome! Good stuff
Doctor Berg, great video. New Subscriber. I will binge all the video in my free time. You're a great Doctor and teacher. Thank you for providing this valuable information to your audience. God bless you.
Some dentists recommend taking CoQ10 because they've found that it can repair inflammation in the gums and gum disease.
that is very good to know, thank you!
I've read several comments on here that says it really works and it grew their gums back.
Dr Berg, the universal Doctor, providing education and help in bite size chunks . Thank you ⚡️💥🌟✨💥❤️
The stock video at 1:09 made me think of hasselback potatoes and waffle fries..lol. Sorry if that triggered anyone. I've been in ketosis since early June' potatoes have nothing on me. Great video Doc! Thank you for all the time and energy that goes into your videos!
yep! kinda hate you right now, lol! 😋
Sooo fascinating!!!
Coq10 also helped me against myopia, and cured my leg fidgeting (common with ADHD people) and chronic stomach pain
What brand you use please
I have only started taking this within the last week and I notice a difference already. Why more doctors don't tell their patients the benefits of Coq10 is beyond me. I have had extreme fatigue since I became very sick in Dec/Jan with getting pneumonia twice. I was just about over the first bout when I caught another virus going straight to my lungs again. The fatigue has been pretty severe, but I think this is helping which is why I came to youtube to do a search on it. I just can't believe how good I feel in the last couple of days and this is the only thing different that I have added.
Hope you watch more of Dr Berg's video's too, that may help you get back your energy a little quicker too.
What brand you used
Because the fda. A dr cannot tell you about a natural mineral. They can lose their license. It's fda all the way or nothing. Don't beleive me, ask your dr.
❤Thankful dr Berg. IT'S GREAT TOPIC ❤
I will start taking this today!
Howdy Dr Berg, I've been following yr TH-cam for years. Keep up the awesome work! Will give CoQ10 a try for frankly, I'm not a supplement or medication person. But recently energy seems running low.😉🤗Stay tuned for the outcome.😊
You should have seen an increase in energy levels and overall health. Please post an update
I regenerated my receding gums with CoQ10. It’s a wonderful product

Hello, Dr. Berg, I would like to ask about urinary incontinence. Can it be treated with exercise, or is surgery required for a woman over fifty? Thank you.
Great information, thanks, Dr. Berg. I have a question. I was recently taking a beta blocker, propranolol, at a moderate substantial dose for multiple years. I have read from multiple sources that beta blockers decrease COQ10. Is this true? Should I be supplementing with COQ10 to restore levels of this coenzyme? Lately I have been taking a 100mg COQ10 pill about once or twice a week with meals. I no longer take any beta blocker and haven't for a couple months. Any thoughts or feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Great vid.
Me too! Good question!
Yes it’s true. they can deplete CoQ10. This can be very dangerous. The heart needs a rich supply of this nutrient for the energy “factories” of its cells. Did you have any reaction after getting off the beta blockers.
kept looking for the link for the free course
unable to find it 🤔
ty for all you do
Good talk!
Co q10 is a miracle supplement. I swear by this one, especially if you suffer from cfs. I have taking a variety of supplements over the years and like to workout. I would even go as far to say that it is better than creatine. The health and energy benefits are immense
That is encouraging !
I am between two of not knowing what to chose between Coq10 or Saffron for fatigue, energy and motivation...
I could be wrong but I believe your body's ability to produce CoQ10 diminishes as you age. I am 53 and I take ubiquinol everyday which is the active form of CoQ10. My husband is on a statin and takes ubiquinol as well. It greatly reduced his cholesterol levels and hopefully is helping with preventing muscle damage or loss due to the statins.
You are not wrong. I've read that many times.
You're DEFINITELY not wrong
How many mgs is he taking per day ?
@@jabba2007 He takes 200. His cholesterol numbers improved significantly after a few months of taking it. Hoping we can eventually get him off the statins!
@@ballen772 thanks for replying, I was just looking into this supplement for cholesterol then this video dropped lol nice timing
Great tips 😊
Thanks 🙏🏿 my brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🇹🇹
Typically, 90-200 mg of CoQ10 per day are recommended, though some conditions may require higher dosages of 300-600 mg. CoQ10 is a relatively well-tolerated and safe supplement that may benefit a wide variety of people looking for a natural way to boost health

Ubiquinol is a form of CoQ10. It's not an "instead" of. It's the most absorbable form.
I really wanted to hear your suggestion on when to take this. Seems like before first meal makes the most sense since it helps enzymes. It is fat soluble though, so maybe after meal?
