Everything that interacts with coenzyme q10 ubiquinol.
Every supplement and medication in the NutriStack database with a documented interaction with this substance, highest-severity first. Open any pair for the mechanism and sources.
| Substance | Interaction | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Berberine | Caution | Berberine may inhibit mitochondrial Complex I, similar to metformin. CoQ10 supplementation may help offset potential mitochondrial effects. |
| Warfarin | Caution | CoQ10 is structurally similar to vitamin K2 (both are quinones) and may partially reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect. Several case reports have... details → |
| Levothyroxine | Timing Sensitive | CoQ10 may have a minor effect on levothyroxine absorption if taken concurrently. While the interaction is not well-studied, the general... |
| Alpha-Lipoic Acid | Synergy | Both support mitochondrial function. CoQ10 is essential for the electron transport chain; ALA is a cofactor for mitochondrial dehydrogenases. |
| Amiodarone | Synergy | Amiodarone has mitochondrial effects, and CoQ10 is involved in mitochondrial electron transport. Direct evidence that CoQ10 changes amiodarone... |
| Amlodipine | Synergy | Ubiquinol is the reduced, more bioavailable form of CoQ10 and produces the same modest blood-pressure-lowering and endothelial benefits as... details → |
| Atorvastatin | Synergy | Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, which also reduces endogenous CoQ10 synthesis. Statin-induced CoQ10 depletion may contribute to... details → |
| Cordyceps | Synergy | Both support mitochondrial energy production. Cordyceps increases ATP synthesis; CoQ10 is essential for the electron transport chain. |
| Evening Primrose Oil | Synergy | Evening Primrose Oil provides a fat-containing carrier that can improve absorption of fat-soluble compounds like Coenzyme Q10 Ubiquinol. |
| Fish Oil | Synergy | CoQ10 is fat-soluble and absorption increases 3-fold when taken with dietary fat. Fish oil provides the ideal fat vehicle. details → |
| Flaxseed Oil | Synergy | Flaxseed Oil provides a fat-containing carrier that can improve absorption of fat-soluble compounds like Coenzyme Q10 Ubiquinol. |
| Lovastatin | Synergy | Lovastatin can reduce endogenous CoQ10 synthesis, and ubiquinol is the reduced form of CoQ10 used in many supplements. Restoring CoQ10 status may... details → |
| MCT Oil | Synergy | MCT Oil provides a fat-containing carrier that can improve absorption of fat-soluble compounds like Coenzyme Q10 Ubiquinol. |
| Metoprolol | Synergy | Beta-blockers including metoprolol inhibit CoQ10-dependent mitochondrial enzymes, reducing endogenous CoQ10 levels. Metoprolol inhibits NADH-oxidase... details → |
| NMN | Synergy | NMN boosts NAD+ for mitochondrial enzymes; CoQ10 supports the electron transport chain. Comprehensive mitochondrial support for anti-aging. |
| PQQ | Synergy | Pairing PQQ with the reduced ubiquinol form of CoQ10 supports mitochondrial biogenesis and the respiratory chain together, with ubiquinol offering... |
| Pravastatin | Synergy | Pravastatin is less lipophilic than several other statins but still inhibits the mevalonate pathway that supplies CoQ10 precursors. Ubiquinol may... details → |
| Rosuvastatin | Synergy | Rosuvastatin, like all statins, inhibits the mevalonate pathway and reduces endogenous CoQ10 production. This depletion may contribute to... details → |
| Selenium | Synergy | Selenium-dependent enzymes help regenerate ubiquinol after it is oxidized during antioxidant activity, so the two nutrients complement each other in... details → |
| Simvastatin | Synergy | Simvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, reducing endogenous CoQ10 synthesis as a consequence of mevalonate pathway inhibition. Simvastatin may cause... details → |
| Vitamin E | Synergy | CoQ10 (ubiquinol form) regenerates vitamin E from its oxidized form in cell membranes, similar to how vitamin C regenerates vitamin E. |
