Each point says who or what was studied and what the study reported, with its source and the date we checked it. These are findings from the sources cited, not advice or a promise of any result.
- Review of studies
A 2016 Cochrane review pooled 2 trials (50 participants) in primary high blood pressure: CoQ10 did not significantly change systolic or diastolic blood pressure. The reviewers rated this moderate-quality evidence of no clinically significant effect.

How to track it in Peptimes
Add coenzyme Q10 in My Protocols and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Its Library entry shows the status label “Approved outside the US”. In Italy, the medicines agency AIFA lists ubidecarenone products as authorized medicines. That authorization doesn’t apply in the US, and CoQ10 sold as a supplement doesn’t share it.
- Logging: the amount you took and how you feel. It’s logged as oral, so there’s no injection site to record.
- Reminders and history: reminders at your times, Dose History, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the peptide tracker app page.
Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell coenzyme Q10 or any other compound.
