- CoQ10 and inflammation
To assess the ability of CoQ10 to reduce inflammatory factors, doctors reviewed 31 studies covering 1,517 men and women who took a placebo or 30 to 500 mg of CoQ10 per day for two to 48 weeks.
Overall, CoQ10 reduced the inflammatory factor, C-reactive protein, beginning at doses of 100 to 200 mg per day, with optimum effects at 300 to 400 mg per day. The inflammatory factor interleukin-6 also declined significantly at doses of 200 to 300 mg per day, especially in men and in those with heart and circulatory conditions. Another inflammatory marker, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, declined significantly at doses of 300 to 400 mg per day.
