The Micronutrient, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) test contains 1 test with 1 biomarker .

Micronutrient, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vital antioxidant found in every cell of the body, essential for energy production and protecting cells from oxidative damage. It is particularly important for the health of the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age and can be impacted by certain health conditions and medications, such as statins, which can reduce CoQ10 levels in the body.

Testing for CoQ10 levels with Ulta Lab Tests provides a crucial assessment to help maintain optimal health, especially for those with cardiovascular concerns or those on medications affecting CoQ10 levels.

How Testing Can Detect, Diagnose, and Monitor:

  • Detection of CoQ10 Levels: The CoQ10 test measures the level of this enzyme in the blood, providing important information about cellular health and energy production capacity.
  • Diagnosis of Potential Health Issues: Low levels of CoQ10 can be linked to various conditions, including heart disease and neurological disorders. Testing can help diagnose these conditions by ruling out CoQ10 deficiency as a contributing factor.
  • Monitoring Treatment Efficacy: For individuals taking supplements to boost CoQ10 levels or those on medications that affect these levels, testing can monitor the effectiveness of these interventions and help adjust treatment plans as needed.

Symptoms of CoQ10 Deficiency to Recognize:

  • Fatigue and Weakness: Reduced levels of CoQ10 can lead to decreased energy production, manifesting as general fatigue and muscle weakness.
  • Chest Pain and Heart Problems: Since CoQ10 is crucial for heart health, deficiency might contribute to palpitations and chest pain.
  • High Blood Pressure: CoQ10 helps maintain vascular health; its deficiency may be linked to elevated blood pressure.
  • Headaches and Mental Fog: A deficiency in CoQ10 can affect cognitive function, leading to frequent headaches and difficulty concentrating.
