Measure your CoQ10 levels from home — for energy, heart health, and cellular protection.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme) Test

CoQ10 (Coenzyme) Test is a vital, vitamin-like compound that plays an indispensable role in how your body creates energy. Found in nearly every cell, CoQ10 resides in the mitochondria — the energy factories of the body — where it supports the production of ATP, the molecule that powers all cellular functions. Without enough CoQ10, your cells struggle to convert food into energy efficiently, which can impact everything from stamina and heart performance to immune function and brain clarity.

But CoQ10 isn’t just about energy. It’s also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly in high-demand organs like the heart, liver, and muscles. CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age and are further depleted by certain medications — most notably statins, which block cholesterol synthesis and inadvertently reduce CoQ10 production as well.

Our CoQ10 Test offers a simple, precise way to check your CoQ10 status using a dried blood spot (DBS) sample you collect at home. Whether you’re managing statin-related side effects, addressing fatigue and muscle weakness, or optimising your mitochondrial health and longevity strategy, this test gives you accurate insight into one of your body’s most essential molecules for energy, resilience, and healthy aging.

Why test CoQ10?
  • Supports cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) in mitochondria
  • Acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage
  • Critical for heart muscle function, especially in high-demand tissues
  • May support fertility, neurological health, and healthy aging
  • Often depleted by statin medications, stress, aging, or chronic illness
How to Improve Your CoQ10 Levels
  • Supplement with CoQ10 or Ubiquinol: Start with 100–200 mg/day under professional guidance. Ubiquinol is often better absorbed in older adults.
  • Eat CoQ10-rich foods: Oily fish, organ meats (like liver and heart), and whole grains
  • Reduce CoQ10 depletion: If taking statins or beta-blockers, CoQ10 support may be especially important
  • Support mitochondrial health: Ensure adequate intake of B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants like vitamin E
What Is a Healthy CoQ10 Range?

A healthy blood Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) level falls between 322 – 1588 ng/mL, as defined by clinical reference ranges for the general adult population.

  • Below 322 ng/mL may indicate suboptimal mitochondrial energy production, increased oxidative stress, or potential CoQ10 depletion — especially common in people taking statins or experiencing fatigue.
  • Optimal levels (typically 400–1200 ng/mL) support energy metabolism, cardiovascular health, and antioxidant protection.
  • Above 1588 ng/mL is generally only seen with supplementation and is considered safe in most healthy individuals.

Your results are interpreted against these thresholds and can help determine whether your current diet, medication, or supplement regimen is meeting your body's energy and antioxidant needs.

Backed by Science
  • Mortensen et al. (2014): Found CoQ10 supplementation improved symptoms and survival in chronic heart failure
  • Langsjoen & Langsjoen (2003): Documented improvement in statin-associated muscle pain with CoQ10 support
  • Bentinger et al. (2007): Identified CoQ10 as critical for mitochondrial function and oxidative protection
  • Littarru et al. (2007): Linked CoQ10 status with cardiovascular performance and aging markers
Key Benefits
  • Detects subclinical CoQ10 deficiency
  • Supports mitochondrial energy output and antioxidant defense
  • Tracks response to supplements or statin therapy
  • Empowers personalized care for heart health and aging
  • Non-invasive, fast, and clinically validated
What's Measured?

This test measures ubiquinone, the oxidised form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), from a dried blood spot (DBS) sample.

  • Reported in ng/mL
  • Compared against a validated reference range of 322–1588 ng/mL
  • Interpreted as low, optimal, or elevated, with clinical commentary included

Ubiquinone is the most commonly measured form of CoQ10 in clinical testing and is a reliable indicator of your overall CoQ10 status — particularly in the context of statin use, aging, and energy-related concerns.

Who Should Use This Test?

This test is ideal for:

  • Individuals taking statins, which can lower CoQ10 levels
  • People with fatigue, low stamina, or muscle weakness
  • Those interested in cardiovascular, mitochondrial, or anti-aging support
  • Clinicians monitoring patients using CoQ10 supplements or heart medications
  • Biohackers or athletes focused on optimising cellular energy output
What's Included?
  • Dried blood spot (DBS) collection card
  • Lancets, alcohol swab, gauze, bandage
  • Prepaid return envelope and instructions
  • Accredited lab analysis + secure online results

FAQs

Why test CoQ10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a key role in how your body generates cellular energy and fights oxidative stress. It is essential for mitochondrial ATP production, supports cardiovascular health, and protects cells from free radical damage.

Low CoQ10 levels are linked to fatigue, muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, and may occur due to aging, poor diet, or statin medication, which can deplete CoQ10. Testing gives you a clear picture of whether your current levels are optimal — especially if you’re focused on longevity, heart health, or energy performance.

Do I need to fast?

No, fasting is not required for this test. You can collect your sample at any time of day. If you’re supplementing with CoQ10, it may be helpful to wait 12–24 hours after your last dose before testing to assess your baseline levels without recent spikes.

What is an optimal CoQ10 level?

Ubiquinone (oxidized CoQ10):

  • Reference range: 322 – 1588 ng/mL
  • Optimal range: 500 – 1200 ng/mL for most individuals

Values below this range may suggest impaired mitochondrial energy production or depletion due to age, medication, or poor dietary intake. Elevated levels are generally only seen with supplementation and are considered safe in most healthy people.

Is this test suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Yes. This test is well suited for individuals on plant-based diets. Since dietary CoQ10 is primarily found in animal products (like meat, fish, and eggs), vegetarians and vegans may be at greater risk of low levels — especially if they are not supplementing.

When is the best time to test?

You can take the CoQ10 test at any time of day. No fasting is required.
To reduce variability, we recommend testing before your morning supplement if you're currently taking CoQ10, unless instructed otherwise by your practitioner.

How can I increase my CoQ10

You can raise CoQ10 levels through a combination of diet and supplementation:

  • Food sources: Organ meats (like liver and heart), beef, sardines, mackerel, and spinach contain small amounts of CoQ10.
  • Supplements: CoQ10 is available in two forms — ubiquinone (oxidized) and ubiquinol (reduced). Both can be effective, though ubiquinol may be better absorbed in older adults or people with specific health conditions.
  • Support absorption: Take CoQ10 with a fat-containing meal to improve bioavailability.

Follow-up testing can help assess how well your levels are responding to dietary or supplement changes.

Is the test safe and easy to do at home?

Yes. The test uses a simple dried blood spot (DBS) collection method — just a few drops from your fingertip, no clinic visit or blood draw required. All supplies and step-by-step instructions are included in the kit.

What does the test include

Your kit includes everything you need to collect and return your sample from home: a dried blood spot (DBS) collection card, full instructions, and a return envelope. You’ll also receive a secure lab report with your CoQ10 results and reference ranges.

How accurate is the CoQ10 test from a dried blood spot?

Our CoQ10 analysis uses LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry)— the gold standard in clinical diagnostics. This method ensures highly sensitive and specific measurement of ubiquinone (oxidised CoQ10) from a small dried blood sample. Results are benchmarked against validated reference ranges to classify results as low, optimal, or elevated.

How long until I get results?

Once your sample is received by the lab, your results will be available within 3-5 business days.
