What This Test Measures
This test measures coenzyme Q10 in the blood.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
A vitamin-like compound involved in mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant protection. CoQ10 helps cells produce energy and is especially important in tissues with high energy demands, such as the heart and muscles.
Measuring CoQ10 levels can provide insight into whether your current levels are sufficient to support normal energy-related cellular function.
About Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is produced naturally in the body and is also obtained in small amounts through food. It is involved in the mitochondrial energy system, where it helps support the production of ATP, the body’s main cellular energy molecule.
CoQ10 also contributes to antioxidant protection by helping defend cells against oxidative stress. This makes it relevant for areas such as energy, heart health, physical recovery, and healthy aging.
Levels of CoQ10 may decline with age, and certain factors, including statin use, may influence CoQ10 status. Testing can provide useful context when evaluating energy, recovery, and supplementation needs.

Sample Collection
The sample is collected using a capillary blood sample through a finger-prick test at home. This test may require a slightly larger amount of blood than some other at-home blood tests. Extra lancets are included in the kit if more than one finger prick is needed.
The method is practical for home testing and allows the sample to be sent to the laboratory for analysis.
ISO-Certified Lab and Analysis
Your sample is analyzed in an ISO-certified laboratory using HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), a precise analytical method commonly used to measure compounds such as coenzyme Q10 in blood.
Biomarkers included
- Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a vital compound that plays a key role in energy production within every cell of the body. It also functions as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. CoQ10 is essential for supporting overall health and proper cellular function.
How to prepare
No special preparation is usually required before taking this test. Follow the instructions included in your test kit carefully. Since this test may require a slightly larger blood sample, warming your hands and staying well hydrated before collection can help make the sampling process easier.
Frequently asked questions
What is coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is a vitamin-like compound involved in mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant protection. It helps cells produce energy and is especially important in tissues with high energy needs.
Why might CoQ10 levels be important?
CoQ10 supports normal cellular energy production and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Levels may be relevant when evaluating fatigue, recovery, aging, heart health, or statin use.
Can statins affect CoQ10 levels?
Statins can influence the same biological pathway involved in CoQ10 production. For this reason, people taking statins may want to monitor their CoQ10 status.
Customer reviews
4.5/5 (2)
- 5/5 — Very happy with how easy the finger prick was to do at home.
- 4/5 — The results took about two weeks to arrive. It was helpful to see my levels since I started taking statins.
