Interactions between your drugs
No interactions were found between CoQ10 and magnesium oxide.
Blood-thinning medications: There have been reports that CoQ10 may make medications such as warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidigrel (Plavix) less effective at thinning the blood. If you take blood thinners, ask your provider before taking CoQ10.
Antibiotics: Taking magnesium supplements may reduce the absorption of quinolone antibiotics, tetracycline antibiotics, and nitrofurantoin (Macrodandin). Magnesium should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking these medications. Quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics include: Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
CoQ10, L-Carnitine and Magnesium are critical nutrients for energy production, muscle mass and muscle recovery. Daily magnesium supplementation also has been demonstrated to improve physical performance in healthy people.
No interactions were found between CoQ10 and Vitamin D3. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.
Vitamins B-12 and B-6 also ensure optimal energy through their roles producing healthy red blood cells. While CoQ10 is vital for energy, it fills a different role than the B vitamins. Taking them together helps cover all your bases.
Phytates in the diet bind to magnesium and impair its absorption. However the quantities present in normal diet do not affect magnesium absorption. Other dietary factors that are thought to affect magnesium absorption are oxalate, phosphate, proteins, potassium and zinc.
When taken together, magnesium and zinc have mutual benefits. Magnesium helps your body regulate its zinc levels, while zinc does the job of allowing it to absorb magnesium more effectively. Taking magnesium alongside zinc is good for supporting your body to: process food and food supplements.
There are many potential benefits to CoQ10 supplementation, including male fertility, female fertility, cardiovascular health, and some anti-aging benefits. CoQ10 is fat-soluble and should be taken with a meal. This can be taken in the morning or at night, as long as it's accompanied by fats or oils.
Answer: Yes, it is possible that CoQ10 is making it harder for you to fall asleep. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize this effect. Learn more in the Concerns and Cautions section of the CoQ10 and Ubiquinol Supplements Review.
Large doses of minerals can compete with each other to be absorbed. Don't use calcium, zinc, or magnesium supplements at the same time. Also, these three minerals are easier on your tummy when you take them with food, so if your doctor recommends them, have them at different meals or snacks.
No interactions were found between CoQ10 and magnesium citrate.
No interactions were found between CoQ10 and magnesium glycinate.
Can you take vitamin D and magnesium together? Yes. In fact, it's probably best to take both together. Because so many people have low magnesium levels, vitamin D supplements on their own aren't very helpful for a large portion of the population.
Yes. Vitamins and minerals all work in combination and rely on each other to be fully effective. Taking magnesium supplements helps your body to absorb and use types of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium, and vitamins like vitamin D.
Nassar says that taking a magnesium supplement every day likely isn't unsafe for most people. Just be sure you're not taking too much magnesium. The maximum dietary allowance for most adults is around 400 mg or less.
Tips for improving magnesium absorption
reducing or avoiding calcium-rich foods two hours before or after eating magnesium-rich foods. avoiding high-dose zinc supplements. treating vitamin D deficiency. eating raw vegetables instead of cooking them.
Magnesium supplements should be taken with meals. Taking magnesium supplements on an empty stomach may cause diarrhea.
Why use citric acid? Because it makes magnesium more bioavailable or easily absorbed by your digestive tract. Your stomach and intestines can more easily absorb the citric acid and the magnesium along with it. Most magnesium supplements with citric acid, therefore, are taken orally to replenish low magnesium levels.
What drug interactions occur with coenzyme Q10? Coenzyme Q10 supplements may interact with some antihypertensive (those that lower blood pressure) and chemotherapy drugs. Coenzyme Q10 may increase the risk of blood clots in people who take the anticoagulant warfarin by decreasing warfarin's effectiveness.
I recommend Ubiquinol over CoQ10 supplements.
If they are the form the body uses the most of, that's a definite plus. Ubiquinol has 2x greater bioavailability and increases levels about 4x, where CoQ10 only increases 2x.
There are no apparent interactions between vitamin D and CoQ10, showing they're safe to supplement together. Some studies show that CoQ10 and vitamin D are beneficial for supporting heart health and exert protective effects on cardiovascular and renal health.
