I added this supplement a few days ago prompted by something Terry Wahls said and I must say I feel quite perky a couple of days in :-D . I have been taking 60mg a day with the intention to drop to 30mg after a couple of weeks.

May just be coincidence...

Anyone else tried it and what experience did you have?

The brand I am using is Morrisons (UK supermarket) own brand 30mg Co Enzyme Q10. They are not flavoured.

I've been taking 200 mg. every day for quite a few years. I read about it years ago and it was confirmed by Wahls.

It does increase energy, but it also aids in cell production and supports heart function.

I switched about a year ago to a high absorption CoQ-10. I do notice a difference when I forget to take it for a few days.

The label on the bottle SHOULD tell you WHAT KIND IT IS (I.E FLAVOR).

If they do not tell you TRASH IT IMMEDIATELY!!!

There are two kinds commonly sold.

#1 CQ-10 UBIQUINONE

#2 CQ-10 UBIQUINOL

Ubiquinol is much superior. Sick people and old people have serious problems using the Ubiquinone version. There are also things that enhance the CQ-10 that are included in some brands.

Check it out on the Internet.

Sorry - when you said flavor I assumed you meant orange or pineapple :lol


Ok Jack - thanks. I have now done some research and yes Ubiquinol would appear to be better so I have some on order. The stuff I have doesnt say but I suspect its Ubiquinone. I wont bin it but take it sparingly until I have used it up.

Plan is to take 50mg of Ubiquinol a day as part of my regimen.

I get my CQ-10 Ubiquinol with some "Shilajit extract" in it.

http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements ... &key=01426

This stuff is a deadly posion in it's natural state.

It is a black rotten scum found, way up high, on the rocks in Tibet and China.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilajit

There is a good version of this stuff ...

http://www.primavie.com/productinfo.html

Quote:
Natreon Inc.'s patented ingredient, PrimaVie®, is a purified and standardized shilajit extract for nutraceutical use to help revitalize the body and mind. PrimaVie® is standardized to have not less than 60% fulvic acid and equivalents with high levels of dibenzo-α-pyrones and dibenzo-α-pyrone chromoproteins. These levels of bioactive constituents are not available in any other shilajit on the market today; they represent years of research to develop the manufacturing process and quality assurance tests needed to ensure their promised availability.

PrimaVie® also works at the cellular level, playing a direct role in the synthesis of ATP, a compound that supplies the body with energy, and healthy mitochondrial function.


It increases the CQ-10 punch by about 40%.

PS They remove all the posions.
