I would also be interested in your daily dosing for CO-Q 10, and also if there is a particular set of brands you rely on for quality.
I've noticed that Walmart sells various brands and doses (all fairly expensive), and also has various pill-form brands, and a couple "chewy" kinds that look like candy.
(I'm really just looking for a quality reliable brand with an effective dose.)
Hi....please see my post # 31.
I started out at 30 mg three times per day in the summer of 2000. The CO-Q10 was purchased at WalMart. (I currently purchase the CO-Q10 at Sam’s Club, they are tan-colored gelatin capsules. The brand is “Simply Right.”) I’ve never seen a chewable variety.
WalMart stopped selling 30 mg years ago, and the smallest size available was 50 mg. So, I was up to 150 mg per day at that point.
When I developed Afib in late 2008, I increased my dosage of CO-Q10, with the knowledge of my doctor. I take 200 mg at breakfast, 300 mg at lunch, and 200 mg at dinner. I’m up to 700 mg a day now, which is probably more than most people need.
I remember reading an interesting story on the Internet a number of years ago. A man was taking care of his mother, who was bedridden. He was giving her 30 mg of CO-Q10 per day. She wasn’t doing well, and her relatives expected her to pass away soon.
One day, the son started to accidentally give his mom 300 mg per day. Before long, his mother got out of bed, got dressed, and started to attend family functions. Everyone in the family was stunned.
