The following doses have been studied in scientific research:

BY MOUTH:

For known coenzyme Q-10 deficiency: 150 mg daily.

For mitochondrial disorders (mitochondrial encephalomyopathies): 150-160 mg, or 2 mg/kg/day. In some cases, doses
may be gradually increased to 3000 mg per day.

For heart failure in adults: 100 mg per day divided into 2 or 3 doses.

For reducing the risk of future cardiac events in patients with recent myocardial infarction: 120 mg daily in 2 divided
doses.

For high blood pressure: 120-200 mg per day divided into 2 doses.

For isolated systolic hypertension: 60 mg twice daily.

For preventing migraine headache: 100 mg three times daily. A dose of 1-3 mg/kg has also been used in pediatric and
adolescent patients.

For Parkinson’s disease: 300 mg, 600 mg, 1200 mg, and 2400 mg per day in 3-4 divided doses.

For HIV/AIDS: 200 mg per day.

For infertility in men: 200-300 mg per day.

For muscular dystrophy: 100 mg per day.

For pre-eclampsia: 100 mg twice daily starting at week 20 of pregnancy until delivery.

Dividing the total daily dose by taking smaller amounts two or three times a day instead of a large amount all at once canhelp reduce side effects.
