It is important to note that you are advised NOT to take CoQ10 if you are taking atovaquone which is found in Mepron and Malarone.
"CoQ10 is of relevance to Lyme disease on the basis of (i) its key role in mitochondrial energy supply, thereby helping to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired cellular energy supply, and subsequent fatigue; (ii) its role as an antioxidant, helping to counter the effects of free radical induced oxidative stress; (iii) its role as a mediator of the inflammatory process, helping to counter the tissue damaging effects of dysregulated inflammation; and (iv) its role in countering abnormal heart function.
"CoQ10 is a key nutrient used in chemical reactions inside mitochondria that create cell fuel. Most people do not get enough of this essential nutrient in their diets. Do not use Co Q10 if you are taking atovaqone found in Mepron and Malarone to treat Babesia."
"Most of the studies looking at CoQ10 supplementation have resulted in significant reductions in inflammatory markers."
"Short for Coenzyme Q10, CoQ10 is an antioxidant that plays a role in cellular energy production. While more research needs to be done, some studies (6) suggest that CoQ10 supplements may help reduce muscle cramps and improve muscle function in certain individuals."
"Supplemental CoQ10 is another way to keep mitochondria humming, especially in organs requiring high energy, such as the heart. CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that protects mitochondria; it also inhibits free-radical damage to cell and mitochondrial membrane."

"CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like benzoquinone compound that is endogenously synthesized from tyrosine in the human body. It is an essential component in the metabolism of all cells, and a CoQ10 deficiency is linked to the pathogenesis of a range of chronic disorders."
