Here is one of the studies done on mice that showed that CoQ10 works to boost energy levels.

Antifatigue effect of coenzyme Q10 in mice. Fu X, Ji R, Dam J. J Med Food. 2010 Feb;13(1):211-5.

In this study, the researchers subjected the mice to swimming endurance exercises. Mice fed CoQ10 showed a significant improvement in swim time. Moreover, CoQ10 seems to prevent the mice from getting tired as quickly.

The researchers concluded that "these results suggest that CoQ10 improves swimming endurance and has an antifatigue effect."

This is the second study done in human volunteers.

The effects of coenzyme Q10 supplementation on performance during repeated bouts of supramaximal exercise in sedentary men. Gökbel H, Gül I, Belviranl M, Okudan N. J Strength Cond Res. 2010 Jan;24(1):97-102.

This second clinical study provides some insight as to whether CoQ10 supplements really boost energy and performance in real humans (and not just mice!)

This randomized and double-blinded study involving 15 volunteers lasted 16 weeks. The dose used was 100 mg daily. The volunteers were asked to lift weights at 2 minutes intervals.

The results? The peak lifting power did not increase and fatigue was not reduced. However the average power did increase.

The researchers concluded that "CoQ10 may show performance-enhancing effects during the repeated bouts" of exercises.

CoQ10 supplements can be helpful in some people to help boost energy level. Those who are lower in energy levels may experience more benefits than those who are more physically fit.

You can try using 100 mg daily for several months to see if it will make difference and decide for yourself!
