CoQ10 is an antioxidant that your body produces. As you age, it produces less. The cells in your body use COQ10 for growth. This injection is a favorite among athletes because it has become known for boosting energy and improving physical performance. And the CoQ10 injection helps your body recover after intense workouts as well. Some research shows it also might have a positive impact on those with heart disease.
CoQ10— also known as ubiquinone — is a coenzyme that helps muscles produce the energy they need to do their work. CoQ10 injections provide an energy boost before and during prolonged periods of strenuous activity as well as helping to speed up recovery afterwards.
CoQ10 is a favorite of athletes and anyone seeking a natural boost of energetic power.
At Camas Medspa our CoQ10 injections are 1ml and it is suggested that you receive 1 injection per week. If you are instructed by your medical doctor to get a certain amount of this supplement we can work with you to ensure you receive the dosage needed.

Recent studies suggest that CoQ10, either alone or combined with other therapies, may be beneficial for the following conditions. However, as with all supplements, patients should consult their medical provider before taking CoQ10 to check if it’s appropriate for them.
When you ingest vitamins in food or dietary supplements, they must go through your digestive tract and be absorbed into your bloodstream before being utilized.
Many vitamins we ingest don’t make it to their end destination or aren’t efficiently absorbed due to various factors, such as:
*Biological factors (e.g. age, gender, and weight)
*Health history (e.g. if you take medications)
*The time of day you ingest them
*What foods you eat at one sitting
*Additionally, vitamins are often lost from food depending on how you prepare them.
The reason injectables are preferable is to skip over the digestion process. Rather than being partly lost to digestive enzymes, taking time to move through various cells and into the bloodstream, the bloodstream is targeted directly.
As a result, this method is thought to be faster and more effective. Rather than getting anywhere between 10-90% of the vitamins you ingest and hoping for the best, you receive 100% through injection.

POTENTIAL DRUG INTERACTIONS
CoQ10 may be both beneficial and harmful in cancer treatments. For example, it might help reduce the toxic effects of certain chemotherapy drugs — cerubidin (daunorubicin) and adriamycin (doxorubicin) — on the heart. On the other hand, it’s recommended to not take CoQ10 if you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation because it may decrease the effectiveness of the treatments.
Some research suggests that CoQ10 might reduce blood pressure, which could possibly enhance the effectiveness of certain blood pressure medications. While this may be a benefit, it’s important to make sure your health care provider is aware that you are taking CoQ10 so that your blood pressure can be closely monitored and your medication adjusted accordingly to avoid low blood pressure (hypotension). Symptoms of low blood pressure include dizziness and fainting. If left untreated, low blood pressure can become life-threatening.
If you’re taking a blood thinner, such as warfarin or aspirin, do not use CoQ10 without consulting your healthcare provider.
WILL TAKING COENZYME Q10 INCREASE FERTILITY?
Some evidence suggests CoQ10 may increase sperm motility and improve the quality of eggs. However, there is insufficient research to support its use as a fertility aid.
DOES IT HURT?
No. A CoQ10 injection is administered quickly using a narrow needle. It is no different than getting a flu shot.
WHO SHOULD NOT GET THE COQ10 INJECTION
People with chronic diseases such as heart failure, kidney or liver problems, or diabetes should be wary of using this supplement. CoQ10 may lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Doses of more than 300 milligrams may affect liver enzyme levels.
