Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Thank you for the article. Our problem is that the supplement we found through Pharmenex on the web (best because it contains vitamin E which enhances absorption of co-enzyme Q 10) comes in 30 mg tablets. If my math is correct, my father would have to take 40 pills. Any ideas? co enzyme Q10 Importance: Low BlankDan used this supplement for years.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Colette, I am not sure they got that article correct. Yes at that rate you would have to take 40 pills (four times a day) or about $40 per day from the prices I have seen. That was a news article and not the actual paper. Note this paragraph: Recommendations The research is still in its early stages, and the study does not provide enough evidence to start recommending that Parkinson's patients take Co-Q10. All of the patients in the trial had early stage Parkinson's and there's no data to suggest it works for people who have later stage disease. Researchers say the doses in the study were far greater than the amounts available in pill form. Coenzyme q10 brands sold in stores may differ and might not contain enough of the compound to make a difference.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hi. Pablito here. Prior to learning at our conference in Chicago that CoQ could benefit those with MSA, I had already been tried on it. I cannot personally take the pill, because I have daily problems with vomiting and the pill comes up in quite an irritating manner. I did try something that might work for your dad. It is an oral elixer. It is in an eyedropper bottle. It is to be places sub-lingually - under the tongue. This might work for your dad. Much more potent, and if he needed a higher dosage, as it sounds we do, then he could easily just get more drops. If you're interested, let me know and I'll see if I can find out what the brand and all was... We gave it to a friend who uses it, as I I cannot take this either, because it causes irritation in my mouth - but... what can I say? I'm just... unique? Ok, call me what you like - even " strange " . I certainly am stranger than many :-) Have a great one! Pablito > Thank you for the article.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Bill, I checked out GNC yesterday. They do have 120 mg pills. Only 10 a day! I heard from a friend whose brother is a pharmacist that the best absorption is with vitamin E. GNC does have co-enzyme Q-10 with vitamin E. In attending a Parkinson seminar last week, before the study was officially released, I learned from a Parkinson's expert (formally from s Hopkins, Dr. Reich) that there are no known side effects with co-enzyme Q 10 and 1200 mg is the best dose to take. I will check out Pharmenex on the web as well. I will encourage my father to start this regimen today. Colette Re: co enzyme Q10 Importance: Low Colette, I am not sure they got that article correct.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 My husband has been taking co enzyme Q10 every since he was first diagnosed 2 yrs ago. He gets his from GNC. His neurologist is very impressed with his slow progression. He is still working full time and still able to lift weights and jog--not as well as he use to, mind you, but not totally disabled after 2 yrs. He will continue taking it no matter what the studies show.
