Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 We are trying to determine what brands or suppliers of Coenzyme Q10 offer the product in large dosages without oil (and NOT chewable). We tried the chewable CoQ10 600 mg tablets and the girls detest it. So far all of the capsules the pharmacy has been able to obtain have the product mixed with an oil. My girls are restricted to a maximum of 20 G of fat/day. With a CoQ10 dose of 1800mg/day, lies was getting was too much fat just from her supplement leaving almost nothing for her actual diet. Plus the oil remains in her stomach for many hours after she takes the capsules so we really don't know what her absorption has been. The pharmacist is very willing to try and get what we need. The issue becomes one of knowing what product to buy. The literature he has available isn't the best in indicating what the binders are so he's made several attempts to receive the product and find the oil is present. Our Medicaid will only pay if we obtain the product from a pharmacy which further limits the options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Our son gets caplets and you pop them open and mix the powder with icecream or pudding. Is this what you mean by chewable? There is no taste (we tried it). If you are interested in this, I would be happy to get you more info and a contact to our pharmacy.
