COQ10 A Remarkable Response

[jimbridger]

Eleven years ago, when all this started, I took it (100mg) to no avail. Two months ago I found it in the back of my drawer (I had stopped using it) and said "what the heck, I'm just going to use this stuff up!" So I took 200mg, and 2 weeks later, something had changed. I am actually getting aerobically conditioned without crashes. I know everyone is different, but it seemed important to share. I'm now taking 300mg from Nord Pharma.

Thanks for this! I started on 10mg because I am so symptomatic. But now that I am on a mast cell stabiliser, maybe I will try to increase it. It's funny - because it is such a small think, and being 'just a supplement ;p'' I've been pretty lax about taking it. Yet, I have this weird feeling that i think it helps?? Must be totally placebo, because at 10mg, what can it really do. But agian, just want to thank you for this post. I will give it more attention now!

You're welcome. Are you sure you meant 10mg? 100mg is the typical otc. Nord Pharma is pharmaceutical grade; used in all the major research for the past 30 years. The box says take 100mg-300mg. I'm taking 300mg. It definitely has jump started my broken aerobic system.

I started taking Q10 3 months ago, 200mg daily and believe it has had a good benefit. My stamina feels slightly increased and PEM slightly less ... not hugely different, but enough of a positive change to keep taking it. For me it's not about finding a cure, but more about making life easier and a little less crap, and this appears to do that. It's worth a try! 😊

Had a striking response at different doses too, not anticipated and already long ago. Always had angina-like pains with mental or physical stress. Playing with doses I found that above 160 mg/d that pain ceased (half of Ubiquinol had the same effect). With time and dropping below that dose, unexplainably the angina-like pains always came back, now even without stress. By now it is a long time I didn't even try to lower the dose again.

Only had 2 CoQ10 blood tests on the same dose. In 2015 it was 3.3 µg/ml, in 2018 7 µg/ml.
At 0.8-1,4 normal, and >3.5 as therapeutic range.
