Doing your homework on CoQ10

[Guest guest]

Carol has already posted about the cost of the

Vitaline CoQ10 wafers that were used in the Parkinson

study.

I just wanted to mention as an FYI that a friend of

mine who has a neurological disorder called

Friedreich's ataxia takes a different brand of CoQ10

manufactured by Tishcon (Q-gels). These are now

available in 100mg gelcaps.

It looks like the cost to take 1200mg of this brand

per day would work out to roughly $200 per month if

bought in bulk.

According to my friend this Q-gel brand is superior to

many other brands because of it's relative

" bioavailability " .. i.e the amount of CoQ10 that

actually makes it to the bloodstream. I don't have

any information on how it compares to the Vitaline

brand.

Again as others have stressed, if you are thinking of

taking CoQ10 supplements don't just run out and grab

the first bottle of CoQ10 you can find at the

pharmacy. Do some research on your own as my friend

did. He even emailed the researchers who make the

various brands and asked them to explain why their

brand was superior. No one should take high doses of

supplements without being supervised by a physician.

Incidentally my friend has been taking only about 100

mg per day for the past 3 or 4 years.

Regards,

Pam
