CoQ10 and exercise performance
Over the years many athletes have been taking CoQ10 to boost their performance in sports. CoQ10 is widely available without a prescription. There have also been many studies conducted on the benefits of CoQ10 in exercise performance. While some studies have shown little benefit, there are others which have shown moderate benefit, especially when it comes to activities that require spontaneous bursts of activity. Many athletes who have taken CoQ10 claim that they have performed well when taking CoQ10 supplements.
In some medical disorders like muscular dystrophies, CoQ10 supplements have also shown some improvement. Why some individuals improve and build muscle and others do not is not really well understood.
In some long distance sports, CoQ10 supplements have been shown to improve endurance and performance.
How long one needs to take CoQ10 to get exercise benefits is not known. Most studies indicate that at least 4-6 weeks of daily consumption is required.
