Re: WEIRD COQ10 Question: Why vitamin E added...?

Hi,

Maybe as a preservative? Maybe for a synergistic effect?

I believe that COQ10 is better absorbed and used by the body when

taken with an oil.

Don't most, if not all, COQ10 supplements contain an oil?

Thanks and for your replies. Yes, it's better absorbed w/oil, and

perhaps

the E w/coq10 has a synergistic effect. I guess I " m still confused however,

since they're

both antioxidants, and also perhaps a little concerned about taking too much

" E " ...

Hi, Dan,

How much Vitamin E is in your COQ10 supplement? And how much

would you get a day? What might y;ou consider too much?

I couldn't take over-the-counter COQ10 so my pharmacist makes it

up for me in a pure powdered capsule. Then I take Vitamin E and

Black Currant Oil at the same time. It is the oil that is important.

This might be one way you could control the amount of Vitamin E you

get a day.
