Brand: ProCaps Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Coenzyme Q-10 is a widely used supplement, but we must be clear: the specific data provided for this product only lists calcium as an ingredient, not Coenzyme Q-10. Based on the data given, our assessment is that this product is labeled as containing 100 mg of Coenzyme Q-10, but the ingredient data provided for analysis is for calcium. This is a critical distinction. For the calcium component, the data shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and signaler for your body. It helps deposit minerals into your bones to keep them strong and supports the relaxation of your muscles after they contract [NIH ODS]. Without it, your nerves and muscles cannot function properly. The provided data does not contain information on how Coenzyme Q-10 itself works.
Safety profile
Data not available for Coenzyme Q-10 specifically from the provided FDA data or NIH ODS section. For the calcium component, the FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements, but a specific count for calcium is not provided. High calcium intake carries risks, including poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product for Coenzyme Q-10 supplementation based on the data provided, as the ingredient information is for calcium. If you are seeking calcium, discuss your total intake with your doctor, as high levels carry significant risks [NIH ODS]. If you are specifically looking for Coenzyme Q-10, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider, as the data for this specific product's active ingredient is not available for analysis.
