CoQ10 – for Diabetes Prevention

Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 100 mg, 60 softgels. improves blood sugar control, lowers blood pressure, and prevents oxidative damage caused by disease. In a controlled human trial, type 2 diabetics given 100 mg CoQ10 twice daily experienced improved glycemic control as measured by lower HbA1c levels and blood pressure (Hodgson JM et al 2002). In a separate study, CoQ10 improved blood flow in type 2 diabetics, an outcome attributed to CoQ10’s ability to lower vascular oxidative stress (Watts GF et al 2002).

Caution:

• See your doctor and monitor your blood glucose level frequently if you take CoQ10 and have diabetes. Several clinical reports suggest that taking CoQ10 may improve glycemic control and the function of beta cells in people who have type 2 diabetes.
• Statin drugs (such as lovastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin) are known to decrease CoQ10 levels.
