Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like compound found in virtually all cells, where it is involved in producing cellular energy and acts as an antioxidant. Supplement strengths vary by brand. Cardiomax provides 150 mg of CoQ10 (ubidecarenone) in each gelatine-free vegicap: adults take one capsule a day with the main meal, and a box of 30 lasts a month.
Before you take CoQ10
- Do not take Cardiomax if you take warfarin or another blood-thinning (anticoagulant) medicine.
- CoQ10 can lower blood pressure, so ask your doctor or pharmacist first if you take blood pressure medicine.
- Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established; consult your doctor before use.
- Cardiomax contains soya oil and beeswax.
