Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble compound involved in mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant processes. Scientifically, CoQ10 is best known for its role in cardiovascular health and as a potential adjunct in certain neurological disorders. There is limited direct evidence supporting its use specifically for the glandular system, which comprises hormone-producing glands such as the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. Some studies suggest that CoQ10 status may influence thyroid hormone production or adrenal function, largely due to its overall cellular energy and antioxidant roles, but these effects are indirect and not robustly confirmed in clinical trials targeting glandular health. Traditional herbal or natural medicine systems do not specifically highlight CoQ10 for glandular system support. Most research and reviews focus on its benefits for energy metabolism, heart health, and sometimes fertility, rather than endocrine or glandular system function. Therefore, while there is a biochemical rationale for a possible supportive role (because glands are energy-demanding tissues), current scientific validation for CoQ10’s targeted use in glandular system support remains weak. Most expert panels and systematic reviews do not recommend CoQ10 supplementation specifically for glandular disorders outside of rare mitochondrial diseases. In summary, scientific evidence for CoQ10’s use in supporting the glandular system is limited and indirect.
