CoQ10 vs Vitamin B12
for energy / fatigue
Stronger evidence: tie
Stronger effect: tie
Safety: No notable interactions recorded for either.
For energy / fatigue, the two are evidence-matched; the difference is in effect and safety.
CoQ10
grade C low certainty
limited evidence for general fatigue; clearer in specific conditions (e.g., statin myalgia, mitochondrial disorders)
100–200 mg/day, adults
Vitamin B12
grade C low certainty
corrects fatigue when B12 deficiency is present; no energy benefit in replete people
RDA-to-high oral, adults
