What is Co-enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone)?
Co-enzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone, is a natural substance found in every cell of the human body. It plays a crucial role in energy production and also has antioxidative properties, which help protect cells against damage from free radicals.
Why should you have Co-enzyme Q10 tested?
Testing Co-enzyme Q10 can be useful for several reasons. It can contribute to evaluating the overall health of energy metabolism, particularly in people who often feel tired or in patients with certain health conditions such as heart disease, muscle weakness, or migraines. It can also assist in assessing the need for supplements.
What does it indicate?
The amount of Co-enzyme Q10 in the blood can provide insight into how well cells can produce energy and how effective the body is at protecting against oxidative stress. Abnormal levels may indicate potential health issues or the need for nutritional supplementation.
What does a high Co-enzyme Q10 level mean?
A high level of Co-enzyme Q10 is generally not harmful and may suggest good cellular energy production. However, it can also be an indication of recent intake of Co-enzyme Q10 supplements.
What does a low Co-enzyme Q10 level mean?
A low level of Co-enzyme Q10 may indicate insufficient energy production in the cells, potentially leading to fatigue and an increased risk of certain diseases, including cardiovascular disease. It may suggest the need for dietary adjustments or starting supplementation
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
