Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Tish, what is the recommended range? I tried 100mg myself and felt nothing.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 There is no recommended range. I do know that 400 mg was used in some studies with cancer. 400 mg resulted in a few cancer regressions. I decided to try 500 mg after reading a fascinating account from a man in the UK who had suffered a long time with CFS. He took 500 mg of CoQ10 along with an very nutritionally enhanced diet and cured his CFS. I decided to give higher doses a try and was so amazed at the results and how much more energy I had. Later, I found that I could get the same benifits from 400 mg. Since CoQ10 is expensive th minimum I need to get benifits is a good deal. CoQ10 is a natural substance that your body needs for the energy and antioxidant processes. All cells need it. So, I am sure that a person could safely take a large amount. It is just prohibitively expensive. I get the 400 mg tablets from Swanson Vitamis at a fairly resonable price. I don't want to quit as it just makes such a big difference.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Me, too, Tish! Although, I need to do this again, now. I was better about it in the few years between my diagnosis ('98) and when the wheels started to fall of for my kiddo a few years ago. ....C ----- Original Message ----- I do know that 400 mg was used in some studies with cancer. 400 mg resulted in a few cancer regressions.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 From supplement watch: CoQ10 has a good safety profile. Daily doses of 50-100mg are well tolerated. Reported side effects are rare, but tend to be various forms of epigastric distress (heartburn, nausea, stomach ache) which can be prevented by consuming the supplement with a meal. For athletes, the data do not consistently support the use of supplemental CoQ10 as an ergogenic performance aid. As an antioxidant, especially in combination with other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, CoQ10 appears to be beneficial. For heart patients, CoQ10 appears to be especially indicated, particularly in those patients who may be taking cholesterol-lowering medications (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors such as pravastatin). Intakes of 100-200 mg per day have been studied with no apparent adverse side effects, but muscle damage has been noted in at least one study of 120 mg per day over 20 days (perhaps due to a pro- oxidant effect and free radical damage in the muscle). > > There is no recommended range.
