Guest guest Posted March 1, 1999 Report Share Posted March 1, 1999 - some anecdotal input on CoQ10. I tried it several months ago for about 90-120 days in hopes that it would help me build up some energy (I fall into the hypo range, not hyper). I had heard a doc discuss it on a public radio show (The People's Pharmacy). It appears to be important for heart health - since I have a strong family history of heart disease, I thought I would try it. It didn't hurt and it didn't seem to help, but it is TERRIBLY expensive so I stopped using it. Just an FYI, Lydia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 Dear , I've found the information about Q10 in a little Belgian magazine so I guess that the name 'Swing levend' means nothing to you. There was mentioned that the English researcher got a price in 1978 for his research on co-Q10. And the American Prof. Karl Folkers got the Priestly Medal for it. So maybe that could be helpful, I hope. If it is that expensive, I don't know if it is worth a try ... By the way, could you give me another reference for PABA ? Because in Belgium I can't find it under that name. Thank you for all you helpful information. It's so great that we can stick together and help each other !

Guest guest Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 Mieke, PaBa is short for PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID this should help.Wow I did'nt know people from around the world were on this e-mail group that so cool.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 I have had ill-effects that I believe were dose-dependent. 60mg x 2 was helpful, but 100mg x 2 made me feel pretty bad. One reason I went up was the study that indicated benefits for Parkinson’s, found it dose-dependent: " In the latest research, 80 Parkinson's sufferers were randomly assigned to receive coenzyme Q10 at three different doses, or a placebo. The progressive deterioration in movement that characterizes the disease was slowed by 44 percent in those who took the highest doses.” The highest dose was 1200mg! (See Message 49225) This may be in part a confirmation of the claims that the “Q-Gel“ (water-soluble) version multiplies the bioavailability, so my 200mg would = 800mg or more. Epic4Health makes the case for the uniqueness of this form: http://www.epic4health.com/coqdisclaim.html Note that they are a VERY interested party, as the main vendor. The best prices are still at Swanson vitamins. (no affiliation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Does anyone out there use Co-Enzyme Q10 and does it have any real benefits? Does it impact any of the typical scripts we take such as T and Arimidex? Let me know. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I just started on it because I am on Zocor for my heart and my labs on this came back low. There is a lot of info out the about doing Statin drugs and how they don't work and are not anygood for you. But when you have Heart Bypass sugary what do you do. I am on 50 mgs a day to start when I do my next labs if still low will go up to 100 mgs a day. Hardasnails says to use this kind. ========================================================================= uquinol Best place to get it is LEF.org good brand need 100 mgs 2 times a day .jarrow is good as long as it is trade name Q-kaneka. Coenyzme in the blood serum will not show only in FIA spectracell which is only 55 bucks with medicare Co-Moderator Phil > From: noonanjg <jgnoonan@...> > Subject: Co-Q10 > > Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2009, 12:20 PM > Does anyone out there use Co-Enzyme > Q10 and does it have any real benefits?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I was not able to tolerate statins well. I'd get muscle pain and arthritic pains in my neck and shoulders. CK enzymes went through the roof. But with CoQ I find I can tolerate them better. Nurse told me it counteracts some of the negative effects of statins and that's been my experience. though I did note I bought one brand that was worthless.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am between a rock and a hard place on this I need to be on statins and my dose was 40 mgs not doing 20 the pain is not so bad but my Co-Q10 levels went down so I am taking a supplement like Hard says and next week will do labs and see if I need more. I get my Growth Hormone meds tomorrow and that night start on it I pray this helps I am not getting my strength back as good as I would like. It only took me 7 weeks to get Caremark to approve paying for it. After having Heart bypass sugary I can't take a Chance not taking them meds.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Grouch, Dock put me on 50000 units vitamin D3 for thirty days, then once a week, to lower psa levels, also said to take CoQ w/ it. Uro threatens to take me off T if psa levels increase, they were 7, so I am working to lower PSA. But they have been as high as 25, too much sexual activity. When I went to every other day, they fell to 5. kind regards david a > > From: retrogrouch@... > Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 11:12:03 -0800 > Subject: Re: Co-Q10 > > I was not able to tolerate statins well.
