More frequently, CoQ10 levels are<br \/>not deficient, yet supplementation results in clinical improvement via enhanced energy<br \/>metabolism or driven by its antioxidant properties in ameliorating an underlying<br \/>metabolic, redox, or mitochondrial condition.<\/li>\r\n<li>One study in children with autism reported that significant improvements were noted<br \/>using CoQ10, including in communication and social skills as well as sleeping (see here<br \/>for details).<\/li>\r\n<li>CoQ10 is also sometimes recommended for treating a wide range of other conditions,<br \/>especially heart disease and migraine, including cyclic vomiting.<br \/>Given the above and its tolerability (side effects are rare and mild), many expert<br \/>physicians recommend CoQ10 in their patients with a variety of neurological and<br \/>neurodevelopmental conditions, especially in those with signs of mitochondrial<br \/>dysfunction and\/or manifestations of migraine or chronic pain.<\/li>\r\n<li>CoQ10 is such an essential component of the mitochondrial cocktail that any<br \/>mitochondrial-targeted approach is likely to fail unless sufficient CoQ10 is<br \/>supplemented.<\/li>\r\n<li>There is a substantial amount of CoQ10 in SpectrumNeeds\u00ae, however, all in the<br \/>ubiquinone form since ubiquinol is not stable and bioavailable in a powder form. CoQ10<br \/>blood monitoring suggests that this amount is rarely enough, and Dr. Boles generally<br \/>recommended additional CoQ10, usually ubiquinol, for his patients, whether or not they<br \/>are taking SpectrumNeeds\u00ae.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3><strong>Dr. Boles\u2019 CoQ10 Supplementation Recommendations:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>There are many brands of CoQ10 on the market, yet in Dr. Boles\u2019 experience most of<br \/>them are poorly absorbed, in that even extremely high doses do not lead to desired<br \/>blood levels.<\/li>\r\n<li>There are a few good brands of CoQ10, some of which are discussed here. However, no<br \/>single CoQ10 product is perfect for everyone.<br \/>NeuroNeeds\u00ae launched its own CoQ10 product, QNeeds\u00ae, in May, 2019.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3><strong>NeuroNeeds\u00ae-Brand CoQ10: QNeeds\u00ae<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Dr. Boles is the Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of NeuroNeeds\u00ae, and the main<br \/>designer of QNeeds\u00ae.<\/li>\r\n<li>With that stated, Dr. Boles believes that QNeeds\u00ae has advantages over other CoQ10 products on the market today. Here are the advantages of QNeeds\u00ae:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Sourced from Kaneka\u00ae-brand ubiquinol, a premium product.<\/li>\r\n<li>Packaged in a small, very-easy-to-swallow softgel.<\/li>\r\n<li>Enhanced, state-of-the-art bioavailability, achieved in part by low dosing of natural ingredients, including d-limonene, alpha-lipoic acid, and capric andcaprylic acids. This can mean lower dosing for the same blood level and clinical<\/li>\r\n<li>effect.<\/li>\r\n<li>Contains no soy or other common antigens.<\/li>\r\n<li>Retails at a good price.<\/li>\r\n<li>Volume discounts are available at<br \/>contact@neuroneeds.com<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<h3><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/molecularmitomd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Coenzyme-Q10-explained-by-Dr.-Boles-5-7-19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click Here<\/a> for a detailed article on CoQ10 written by Dr. Boles.<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/neuroneeds.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NeuroNeeds Website<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p><!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] What Is CoQ10 and Who Should Consider Supplementation: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential electron carrier in the respiratory chain, whereasalmost all of the energy for the body is produced.CoQ10 also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage causedby harmful molecules.
