Question 1

is ubiquinol effective?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on why you are taking it. If you believe it will keep you young and healthy forever, then no, it's not effective. If you are taking it because of side effects of statin drugs, then perhaps yes. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 2

is it ok to take ubiquinol?

Accepted Answer

If: Taken as directed it should be ok to take.  Just talk to your doctor to make sure no issues with other meds.

Question 3

is coenzyme q10 + vit k2 worth taking?

Accepted Answer

I'm pessimistic: Coenzyme q is extremely effective against one rare cardiomyopathy.  But it's being promoted heavily right now to help with almost everything and without any good studies / reproducible results. I'm waiting these but can't recommend it now. The psychology is "what's a hundred dollars if it does work?" you decide but i'm not optimistic.

Question 4

is cq10 the same component as ubiquinol ?

Accepted Answer

I beleive that is: Correct. That is ubiquinol contains coq10.

Question 5

can coenzyme q10 plasma levels be to high?

Accepted Answer

: coenzyme q10 is a marketing term to sell "snake oil". You do not need to take this chemical and there is no need to check blood levels of this substance.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 6

what is a good dose to take of coenzyme q10?  does it matter if it is ubuiqinol or ubiqinone?

Accepted Answer

50-100 mg. probably: I advise 50-100 mg/day for preventive purposes, though if treating conditions like heart failure or Parkinson's doses of 400 mg or more are reasonable. Many authorities like Joseph Mercola feel Ubiquinol is superior, esp. for those over 40, though some like Stephen Sinatra feel Ubiquinol is not worth the extra expense. For articles pro and con that discuss the research see links in my comment.

Question 7

is it worthwhile to take ubiquinol with statins?

Accepted Answer

No: It is not necessary!

Question 8

can you take coenzyme q10 if you have thalassemia?

Accepted Answer

What for?: You may take it but it will not do any good to any person with or without thalassemia.

Question 9

is a .63 test result that low for coenzyme q10 in a 26 year old?

Accepted Answer

Unusual test: That's an unusual lab test, rarely if ever done by primary care doctors. Usually, a patient would have an special condition in order to require the test at age 26 years. The result can be interpreted by the ordering doctor, and depends on the result's units of measure, reference range, purpose, and sometimes even the sample-handling at the lab, or to and from the lab. Details matter.

Question 10

is it beneficial to take coenzyme q10?  are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Coq10  is coenzyme q10 and helps the mitochondria produce ATP (energy in the cells): it is very beneficial and it is mandatory to take it if one is on cholesterol lowing medications like statins. It helps prevent heart disease as well. There are no adverse side effects. It is obtained from oily meats and whole grains in our diets.
