Do the miraculous effects of Coenzyme Q10 really exist?
01. Is Coenzyme Q10 a drug or a nutrient? Can it cure disease?
Conclusion: Coenzyme Q10 is not recommended by any clinical guidelines.
China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved Coenzyme Q10 to be marketed as a health food or drug.
In the “Chinese Pharmacopoeia”, the indications of Coenzyme Q10 are: it can be used as an auxiliary treatment drug for congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and arrhythmia.However, the drug Coenzyme Q10 is a prescription drug and can only be purchased with a doctor’s prescription; and it is only an auxiliary drug that works in conjunction with the “real” drug. In the drug instructions for Coenzyme Q10, you can often see the words “auxiliary treatment”.
Therefore, Coenzyme Q10 is not a first-line drug.

2. Can Coenzyme Q10 really enhance heart function?
Conclusion: Basically not.
Coenzyme Q10 is indeed recommended as an auxiliary drug to treat mild to moderate heart failure, which can improve patients’ myocardial energy metabolism and thereby improve cardiac function.
It should be noted here that Coenzyme Q10 is only used as an auxiliary drug. In other words, it does not mean that it must be used. It can be used with or without it.
Moreover, in the announcement issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Health Commission in December 2020, the efficacy of coenzyme Q10 was summarized into two points: enhancing immunity and antioxidant, and did not recognize its “heart protection” role.
As some articles say, “Lack of coenzyme Q10 is the number one killer of heart disease” is too exaggerated!
03. Can Coenzyme Q10 fight fatigue?
Conclusion: Basically not.
Animal experiments suggest that coenzyme Q10 can enhance the swimming endurance of mice and improve their ability to resist fatigue.
Please note, this is animal testing.
There are relatively few studies on whether Coenzyme Q10 can fight fatigue in the human body.
Therefore, it is still unclear whether taking coenzyme Q10 can relieve the fatigue of working people, and if so, how much it needs to be taken to be effective.
04. Can Coenzyme Q10 improve beauty?
Conclusion: limited effect.
Oxidative stress is the main cause of skin aging. Studies have shown that Coenzyme Q10 can indeed promote skin metabolism and reduce oxidative damage [4]. Long-term application of cream added with Coenzyme Q10 can reduce skin pigmentation and reduce the depth of wrinkles [5-6].
However, there is no clear evidence to support the beauty effects of Coenzyme Q10 such as whitening and removing freckles.
05. Is Coenzyme Q10 good for pregnancy preparation?
Conclusion: basically none.
According to limited research, coenzyme Q10, as a nutrient supplement, combined with growth hormone, can be used as a nutritional supplement for infertile men and women during pregnancy preparation, and can increase the chance of pregnancy [7-8].
However, the above conclusion is only supported by a small amount of data.
Coenzyme Q10 is only used as a nutrient supplement to play a supporting role, and is aimed at people with infertility.
There is a question mark as to whether healthy people should take Coenzyme Q10 when preparing for pregnancy. Achieving a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition is fundamental.
